Bought a second hand tank 30"*12"*24" wish it were a little bigger. Cut out the silicone last night ( looked a little shabby ) and plan to put new black silicone in today.
Is there anything I should do other than wash it out. It will be a planted tank with most of the plants around the driftwood at one end, which will leave more room for them to swim around and easier to vacuum up ( I sound like a housewife ) oh the girls are going to get me for that one.
What sub strait should be on the bottom along with the gravel. With this tank I'm planning to have 4 young discus Wild Blue I think they are the nicest ( I had a breeding pair many years ago ). Lot of new technics since I had them last. I have not seen anyone mention white worms as a food, is there something wrong with feeding them it, I used to make my own with oatmeal and water in the fridge. Easy and cheap, oh yes family don't like having worms in the fridge also frozen beef heart, but I noticed that now they add partially cooked beef liver.
Any come backs would be appreciated.;)
