aquariums

[heatfreakk3]

i am looking for a new aquarium and i wanted to ask questions. i want a background but i dont know how to do that or make one and put it up. also i want maybe a false bottom but i have no clue about that either. i already have 1 aquarium and its ok but i want this new one to look really nice and pretty. people i need your help on what things will make my tank look awesome.

First pick a size, and what you want to keep in it.

Id recommend the background of your choice and a substrate with a leca base over a false bottom. Then you can chose the rest of your substrate.

im not sure, i want probably anywhere from a 10g-30g. im probably getting a 20g though. i am going to keep a pair of azureus in there to try and breed. and i dont know what a leca base or a false bottom is.

Id recommend a 15gal standard or 20gal standard. Both offer a good amount of floor space.

ok thanks, so what is a leca base and a false bottom and how do i use them

[GSXR_MURRHEE]

Basically leca are little clay balls that people use for drainage. It will keep your substrate/dirt from staying too wet. All you do is dump them in and then place some screen on top of it to keep dirt from falling through.

ok i think i kind of get it but im still not positive. could someone maybe put some pictures on or something so i can get a visual

Here's a pic of a 20 gallon tank I have with leca in it. Hope this will help you out a little more.
