Hi all,
I have been wanting a saltwater aquarium for ages, but I don't think I can handle the upkeep and the expense of one. So, I have now settled on a freshwater and would love to replicate something like this
What do I need to know about plantless aquariums? Does it require more or less upkeep than a planted one? What size would be good for 5-6 African cichlids? Anything I need to know about that species? What other fish would do well in this type of a tank? I had a tank as a kid, but that's it. I will be doing a lot of research and trying to convince my husband to get one
On a side-note, how do they make that sand on the bottom of the tank have a ripple effect? The sand looks like it's an even layer on top of something else. Or is it an optical illusion?
