65g set up ideas

[bschuhart]

I have an empty 65g, what should I put in it?

It has a XP3 filter and a 36" Marineland Reef Ready LED light and a Cora Life T5 double florescent. The tank was treated with copper at one time. I don't know how much the silicon retains copper.

Are you looking for New World or Old World suggestions?

A 65 is a good tank for an angelfish or discus tank, since they make use of height.

I'm open to anything. I had discus in mind, but am concerned about the previous copper treatment. If that's not a problem, I would like Discus but have some concerns.

I moved the tank to another room last week, the tank had africans, they are now in a 40B on the bottom stand. The 65g still has viable bacteria since I kept the filter going and refilled the tank in less that 30 minutes.

#1 Should I disinfect the tank and filter with bleach?

#2 The tank is now in the family room in a high traffic area and the home theater set is there (lot of loud explosions....when watching certain movies), will this stress dicus?

Water would be good.

How about a few species on the C.A.R.E.S. list?
