i am hopfully getting a brackish or cidlid tank
monaro1 replied to mickey-tropical-fish-mad's topic in Freshwater
cichlid tank is a fresh water tank,the only thing you need is maby a heater guard when thay get bigger, a brackish tank is just as easy,just add salt(sea salt NOT TABEL SALT) i would work out what type of fish you want then decide what type of tank i started brackish so i could have ARCHERS but i love my big cichlids the choice is yours good luck -

try working your way through the wet and dry sandpaper range, 200, 400, 800, 1500,then cut and polish. always use wet

drop the water level down and silacone them to the glass,leave it a few days to dry(get the right stuff)

for a 150 tank a 150watt is good,normally 1 watt 1 lt if you have large tanks you need more than 1 heater
