Hey all! as some of you know, i am a nano man keeping tanks under 20 gallons.. Until now. i will be getting a 40 gallon breeder tank and am concerned on what i should get for it? (of course the tank will be planted)

My plans for the tank was the following

Lighting: 48" T5 Quad High Output Light Fixture 6500K
Substrate: Black Flourite
Filter: Fluval 306? (maybe)
Co2: probably in the future
Heating: 100W? (was never good with heaters)
Stocking: 2 angels, 13-19 tetras (don't know what species yet) and 8 otto cats.

Comments, Concerns, or criticism is appreciated!!

A 40 is too small for discus so I'd say angels (not sure how many...try for a pair I say)
as far as tetras go...not my image but I used to keep these and I miss them a lot

only reason I don't have them now is that I'd rather not just keep 5 of them in a 10 and at the price I find them for, its a lot of $ to get the 10 or so I'd want in a 75

FTS as of 1/2/14



Got more crypts


Banana plant, and start of the pearlweed carpet


As you can see, the dw has a pit in the middle, which I plan on filling with substrate and having apontegon crispus "red" like natures chaos, :) hope that works out as it will bring beautiful color to the 40 breeder.
