So I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I figured it was my best shot at getting solid advice. I recently inherited a 140 gallon (72" L x 23 H ) aquarium from my godfather who passed away in 2016. I have no idea what I am doing and I feel like I have bit off more than I can chew, but I am determined to make this tank look good and keep it going. I knew it was in rough shape so the first thing I did was have the cabin refinished and the tank professionally cleaned. It probably would have been cheaper to get a new tank, but since it was the one thing I always remembered seeing at my Godfathers house since I was 6 I wanted to keep it all. So right now the few fish he had are currently in a 20 gallon tank while I get this monster of a tank set up. I have purchased a new FX6 canister filter.
I am looking for good recommendations on what kind of light set up to use. I don't plan on having live plants, just the fish which currently consists of 2 large plecos and a 20 or so barbs. I am sure it will look empty with so little fish so I will probably need to purchase a few more so recommendations on some no violent easy to maintain fish, that look good. Also any general advice on life with a freshwater aquarium would be a huge help. Thanks!
