Hello all,
Im relatively new to this forum, having read it often but never posted before. However this is changing as I am now planning on setting up my own native fish tank. In the past I have kept a marine reef aquarium and a wide assortment of other popular tropical setups, but I have always loved the idea of a native tank. Currently I have a glass tank which is 50cm deep, and 70cm square. This has a large sump for filtration and a Hailea 300a Chiller to help with the temperature. I will probably post a picture when I have completed the stand. the back of the tank also has about an inch cut out of it to allow for pipes in, through which I plan to place a strong spray bar to create a current.
My question is, can anyone list the suggested parameters for the water, and what species I'd be best displaying? Also what are the rules for collecting species? What plants, if any should I have? Basically anything I should know? I should note that I have read Stella's article, however I have yet to locate a copy of the book I keep reading about.
Thanks
