So I have a new Juwel Rio 240 coming this Friday and it got me thinking what experienced aquarist’s would do with a new tank.
Water is moderately hard here in Nottinghamshire with a PH of 7.2.
What would you have in there?
New tank - what would you do?

I believe Nottinghamshire water is generally around 10dGH (moderately hard).
You will have quite a big choice of fish.
