Hi all, i just joined this forum and am looking for some good advice. I have had freshwater aquariums for several years now. I currently have a 90 gallon tank, with African Cichlids stocked in it. I would like to completely change the design of the tank. The tank has white gravel and a lot of holey rock in it. I would like to trade in all the cichlids I currently have, and get some community fish. I would also like to have a lot (i mean a lot) of live plants. I would like to have a huge school of cardinal tetras and other community fish. I was wondering if i should get new gravel and new rocks and completely redo everything, or could i keep the holey rock and white gravel substrate (would this look bad with plants). I would like to be able to do this on the cheap side as well, if i can, money is not a problem though. Also if I were to get new substrate and rocks (or something else) what should I get, and what types of plants should I get and what type of fish should I get?
Thanks
Thanks
