Hi Guys,
Hope you are all well.
I am starting a new tank that I will be using as my "Medical Centre"
This tank was running for 6 months, without fishes, water changes every 2 weeks and no plants inside, only dragonstones yet, since I moved - 3 months ago - the tank has been emptied and even with some mould so, before I do anything I would like to ask you for some advice on what to do before I rescape.
Should I still use the soil (tropica aquasoil) even though it's been unused for 3 month? (see pictures for how it looks now)
I think i can just take the soil, maybe clean with water?, and clean the whole tank, filters etc. Then I can start my scape.
The tank equipment is as it came with:
Tank Fluval Flex 24L
Light 7500K LED lamp, Fully adjustable White + RGB LEDs
Filter 3-stage filtration, oversized mechanical (foam), chemical (carbon) and biological (Biomax) media included
I want to have aquasoil (tropica) with a bonsai driftwood in the middle and some moss in it.
As other plants, I thought on adding some carpet but i don't know if I will be good with carpets AND I think I would need better light bulbs?
- Anubias bartering Nana bonsai palm tree (in front and back to give a nice deepness)
- Staurogyne Repens (if i can't get the carpet)
As this i a medical aquarium, I think it's not wise to even have shrimps inside right?
Pictures of the tank at the moment:
