Hello forum,
Can anyone suggest me the scape (Setup: Rocky/Planted/???) for a dimension of 94inch L x 54inch B x 10inch H volume tank which is tiled from all 5 sides and Fish can only viewed from the top. Ideas PLS? Budget 25 K.
Some limitations being :
1) I am assisting my good old friend to setup this huge tank and it's not mine. I know it's a bit Odd dimension. Here, I the shape and dimention of the tank is constant and I can't alter it. I thought of suggesting him about elevating at least the back portion if not frontal, to facilitate rock setting. But, he doesnt want to change it.
2) Moreover, this friend of mine is new to the hobby. I am even thinking of external filter but here the hassle is the lack of elevation. Since most of the external filters will work best if it is kept in lower strata.
3) It is inside his house that to in the 2nd floor. So, I have very limited option can't go for extending in any direction/dimension.One more problem is he being a beginner wants some colourful, quite noticeable fish from top,and easily manageable setup. I don't want him to say bye to the hobby I tried suggesting Kerla queen (denisoni)/ any indian fish for that matter and but it can't be viewed from the top?
Now, I am thinking about the hard-scape I can come up with and next option will be the fishes or If i need to simulate the natural condition I have to preset my fish in my mind for this shallow depth. hence I asked Info/ Idea here.
Thanks for kind attention.
