First tank in a long time
Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 4:01 am
Hi folks!!
First post here and I'm glad I found this community. I kept fish for years quite a long time ago and am planning to get back in. I love Bettas, but have become fascinated with Inverts and shrimp especially.
So I am planning to setup a 14g, 20"L x 10"D x 16"H, for a shrimp only planted tank. I have a couple pieces of driftwood on the way, but the reason I am posting is that I want to "build" a partial rock wall with ledges jutting out. What can I use to "glue" the rocks together that won't endanger the shrimp?
I am forced to use CF lamps for now, any suggestions for a planted tank? I've read a lot about this issue, but every other bit of information counters the bit before, so I'm not sure of the best way to go. A new hood may be coming later.
I was thinking that a soil base substrate topped with gravel on one side and sand on the other surface. Is this okay? I'm pretty sure it's okay, just want confirmation.
Will maybe add Oto's later if I can find any. Otherwise may add other Inverts at a later time.
Thanks everyone.
