My Hospital / Isolation tank is finally cycled. Ammonia and Nitrite readings at 0 ppm ( I'm adding  5ml of household ammonia to keep feeding the filter and checking chemistry daily)

It's cloudy because I just added sand substrate, that should clear quickly.

I'm now ready to add plants and livestock.
The plan is to house a few fish and plants in here while I finish setting up my main aquarium. 

I'm now looking for plants hardy enough for a Lake Malawi African Cichlid tank, and a few (no more than 4 small fish)

If anyone has a lead on livestock and plants that would be great!

Cheers
