NewbieFishGuy Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I was given a 56 gallon column tank. It was previously a saltwater tank. I would like to use it for a planted tank. The equipment it came with was a reef light with t5 bulbs and 2 circulation pumps. I would like to make a tank that uses smaller leafed plants and small fish to make the tank appear large. I would love to hear some plant suggestions. I also would like to ask what bulbs I should get for the light. The tank is 24 inches deep. The light has a timer and the ability to turn on 2 bulbs at a time in case I should consider having different types of bulbs. Thanks for any suggestions!

FrozenFins Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 some really cool tetras would be cool. Rummynose are great schooling fish, and its such a joy to watch them Cardinal Tetras/ Neon Tetras can have really vibrant colors, and I love them Betta, I know you wanted samller fish but you could do a bunch of rummy nose, cardnials and neons and do one betta. He could be the feature fish. if you choose on a betta you will want to make sure it has a good temperement, and none of the tetras are fin nippers, all the tetras I am reccomending are not. now back to smaller fish Celestrial Pearl Danios, or just Danios in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Vallisneria will give nice effect growing to top of tank and some anubis nana petite and some Javan moss x-ray or flame tetras are really nice in a planted tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
