Hi.
I am so glad to be here. I am not sure on posting questions and that so if I do something wrong please can you point out any mistakes.
So a bit about myself.

My dad kept fish in the early 70s when the attitude was,  it looks pretty shove it in. About 9 years ago I inherited a juwel rio 180. Full of African cichlids and 2 plecos. (Not my idea to have plecos in a tank that size)
The Last fish has died and I want to set up a community tropical fully planted. So I've a long road ahead lol
Tank is now empty and everything is going to be replaced. So I will need lots of advice

Welcome to the forum, @Tizme .

How exciting to be able to continue the fishkeeping journey, but this time on your own terms with your own choice of fish.  :fishy1:

Firstly, you'll need to cycle the tank (or, more specifically, the filter media) - more details are https://forums.thinkfish.co.uk/fishtank-filtration-and-cycling/fishless-cycling-how-to-do-it/ and https://forums.thinkfish.co.uk/fishtank-filtration-and-cycling/seeding-a-fish-in-cycle/ - but this will give you time to plan out your tank properly.

@Matt will be able to advise on substrates and planting.

Take a look at the water hardness for your postcode on your water supplier's website, and let us know what the readings are in CaCO3, German degrees hardness or any other measures.  This will help figure out what fish are best suited to your water.
