Hi I was recently tossing around the idea of building a freshwater viv with live plants and the whole 9 yards. I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this. I have a 55 gal aquarium just need to find a nice stand. Any ideas on a good filter or will any filter rated for this sized tank be ok. Also any forums or sites with info on plants and fish would be nice I don't want to buy plants/fish that are incompatible. Thanks. Also how long after planting my setup should I let it cycle before adding fish. I will be eagerly awaiting your replies meanwhile off to research some more.
