Hello Everyone,

I actually ordered for 300 Gallon but its not in stock and the importer gave me 200 Gallons instead..

Happy with 200 Gallons.. .. Hopefully will upgrade to 300 gallons a year later... All my fishes are happy and enjoying the space...! I am happy..

I have attached couple of pics hope you all will like it.. Any aqua-spacing advise is welcome.. Looking forward for your views...

Thanks

What are the tank dimensions?

I thought it will be a good home for all of your fishes.

But now you are in next level of hobby so please try to add some nature in the tank.

@Scorpio- 1880x540x790mm These are the Tank Dimensions.... I actually want to add some plants but it need more maintenance. And i have a bit of time constraint.. Please advise if i am wrong...

You can grow some hardy plants like as Java fern, Anubias pettite. In place of multi-colored pebbles, use single colored send. Add some rocks/woods in this tank.

Again because of the time constraint i don't want to add sand as it is more difficult to clean and also the dirt shows more quickly on sand as on compared to gravels..

Yes i can add some rocks and woods through..

Please advise...

Thanks

Congrats fantastic decision and a very responsible hobbyist you are

Regarding the mylticolored rocks n sand i thing sand is lot easier to clean and looks natural
Plus low light plants as scorpio mentioned will be easy and hardy to start with your busy life
But first why not add some drifts and change the colored pebbles this wil automatically interest you in adding couple of plants..... Again all the best and congrats hope to see your 300 soon

I am not talking about construction sand. Here sand is "Crushed rocks". It is more easy to clean in comparison of pebbles. Beneficial bacteria also grows very well in sand and fine gravels. It means forming a eco-system in your aquarium.
