A friend of mine has a 30 gallon FW tank that he might give to me. I have a good light but.... can I use a FW filter and heater and start cycling the tank???
what is the exact type of filter
Not sure what that is but no don't use the same filter pads. Just get live rock To cycle the tank. Also get sand. Thefilter has to be rated for about fifty gallons for a 30 at min IMO. You don't need strong lighting unless Ur doing a reef tank.
Travis55 said:So I got the tank, heater and light. My question is, a friend of mine has a filter. He said its either a 55 or 75 gallon. My tank is 30. He said its new in the box for $25. Is this a good filter? Below is a pic he sent me.
Oui.
