New Build Help
Hello! Thank you in advance for reading and helping out!
I work in a group private practice trauma therapy office (North Carolina, USA) and have this piece of furniture in my office.
I am looking to add a fish tank to my office again.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a tank I could put on that shelf?
I only have 11” of height and 13” of depth but I don’t want to use the full 13” and it take over the entire space.
I’ve had a five gallon there and it was a bit challenging with a HOB filter so I’d definitely do sponge filters this time.
I’m open to all ideas and comments.
I have another space in my office where I could put a stand to get a bigger, easier to maintain tank, but I’d rather try to use the space I currently have since I’ll be investing in a tank.
Things I know for sure:
-it will be a heavily planted freshwater tank
-API fresh water master test kit weekly and tank will be fully cycled before introducing fish
-HARD water and ph is usually above 7 but below 8
-utilizing Seachem prime
-5 gallons or more (always the bigger the better)
-fish options I’m considering include:
-pink betta or wild/alien type with a snail
-group of chili rasboras
-group of CPDs (ugh. Want to try so bad but hear so many mixed reviews)
I’d really like a social fish but would be open to the nano schooling fish for the relaxation vibes.
Any ideas or suggestions for a tank that could fit in the space or know anyone who can build custom?
Thank you!
