Alright, I'm officially bored of the all-male peacock setup in my 40 long (48x12x17 - in case you weren't sure). I absolutely love blue rams and have wanted to keep them again as I have once before. I'll list what the specifications will be and just post whatever you think would make it a filthy setup in terms of livestock and plants.
Filtration: Rena XP2, Eheim 2213 Classic, AC50
Lighting: Coralife Aqualight T-5 48" Double Linear Strip (2x28w = 56w total) - currently have the S/W version but will buy a 6700k bulb to replace the actinic
Substrate: PFS
Plants that will remain: Val. spiralis
Fish that will remain: 2 BN plecos
Decor that will most likely remain: Mexican black pebbles (3-5"). I also have a few pieces of driftwood but would really like to get some Manzanita this time around - thoughts?
I have a lot of ideas but just want to get some feedback from more experienced people. So, let me know what you think would look really nice. Not looking to do CO2 or ferts except for the occasional dose of Flourish.
EDIT: Just thought up my ideal stocking, how does it look?
- Geophagus Red Head Tapajos (4)
- Microgeophagus ramirezi (2)
- Cardinal tetras (12)
- Bristlenose plecos (2 - already have)
