Re: New tank and need some advice
#6
Ha ha, I'm not he one to ask about substrate/gravel, I ALWAYS over estimate the amount I need and end up using the spare to fill around plant pots in the back garden, to retain moisture, during the hot months.
Bristlenose get to about 4 inches, sometimes a tad more. I had a male in a previous tank and he loved his blanched veggies every day (supper time at lights out was a sinking algae wafer or two). He often liked bloodworm too if he could get it before the tetras (turkey baster proved helpful for spot feeding so he got his share
)
Given the plecs I would be tempted to over filter, aim for an external that perhaps caters for a 400 litre tank. You can reduce the 'whoosh' factor by the addition of spray bars if needed. Over filtration is never a bad thing in this hobby/passion
