Hi there, I am new with the fish aquarium, and I just bought a fish tank 55 gallons (it's just an old one with the stand I got from craiglist. It is still new and good condition). However, the tank does not have the hood with it. I am planning to get some discuses and cherry shrimp, and some real plants for that, but I need some advices about the hood, light, filter, air pump, and heater.
- What size of the filter should I get for my 55 gallons tank? What brand name is good for it? I am looking for the HOB one with quiet, good, and reasonable price ( I am still a student)
- I want to have the hood for the tank, so I can set up some lights and to cover the tank from the cats. Should I get a big and long hood or two small hoods? Because I see the device thing in between of the tank. If I put the hood to cover the tank, is that any problem with the HOB filter? Because I know that I need some space at the top of the tank for the filter.
- What brand name is good for lights? Would you suggest the light bulbs or led ones?
- What air pump is good with quiet and the air pressure control?
If you can, please provide me some links where I can look for the equipments to buy. Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
