As you may or may not know I was bought a rather large new tank for my birthday earlier in the year. Due to decorating, hospital trips for Barry and I and a few other health issues getting the tank up and running was put on hold, we also had to get a new stand built for the 5ft tank we are upgrading for the lionfish. The 5ft is almost finished just waiting on a couple of connectors being delivered for the plumbing of the sump and then that is good to go.
So heres the debating part. My tank is finally being brought home tomorrow, then the stand will get built, we have waited until the tank was physically here to get the stand built so that we knew it would definitely fit because the tank is not a basic shape. I was originally going marine with this tank for all the smaller prettier fish BUT I have really really missed having a tropical set up so thinking of going a planted tank with a massive shoal of neon, threadfin rainbow fish and shrimp oh and of course some bristlenose plecs.
Everytime I see the new tank I keep thinking it would make a stunning reef though so what would you do.
I have almost all the equipment needed to go either set up so that isnt an issue.
