Welcome to the forum. Nice looking tank! My advice would be to take your time, and enjoy what you're doing.

I don't have any live tanks. All are dead minus the fish.

the moose over beside the old Bowlero? The very same! Welcome to the forum! Can I ask if you know about the nitrogen cycle, and establishing the healthy bacteria needed for your fish to thrive?

Like I said my friend, I'm very new to this and learning as I go. I tried setting the tank up twice following the Walstad method but it went to muck and cloudy so I started over using a proper substrate for the plants from Aqua Animania. So any help with info about the cycling of the tank would be greatly appreciated Xander.
