I would say Dwarf Chain Loaches, Kuhli loaches or Rosy Loaches.


You could get some Upside Down Catfish :-) ... or some corydoras.

Otherwise, if the snails are big enough, then dwarf chain loaches (sidthimunki) would probably not be a problem with your snails. But you would still be taking a risk ...

they are diy 20w led floodlights from ebay. dong good for the plants so fat but if i didnt have plants, i would have gone for 2 for my 4ft.

they are very bright ...

cheers mate.

UPDATE:
a little bit of growth from the hc, peacock moss and java fen. The hm is being annoying and has partly melted away. theres one gambusia in there to help with cycling but i am also adding media from other tank into new filter every couple of days.

damn, this thread is big, get 5+ clowns,

i got an eheim 2228 for my tank which is 225l and it is reccomened for 700l. Good options are eheim 2217 classic, eheim 2228, fluval 405, fx5 if your a maniac , they are all reliable and are made well. The eheim 2228 is very reliable and has good filter medium in it.

wow CLS, that is looking really great....and like a LOT of work that you have done!!!!
really looking forward to seeing this as it progresses

haha... a lot of work is an understatement glenna! LOL. It took longer researching than building and building wasnt very quick. I also have to sell both ...
