I am contemplating either a 75g or a 90.
It will be a freshwater community tank. The last time I had a live plant, it overtook my tank. So, unless someone can suggest a slow growing plant(s), it will be unplanted.
I have however decided on using sand substrate instead of gravel. I would prefer a lighter colour.
I already have lots of bright colourful fish in mind (no, not the genetically modified)
Here comes my conundrum...
Cannister? What size? Brand? Sump? One site suggested using both while others say no. I would like to get away from the HOB's.
Also, I am totally confused with the lighting nowadays. My 35g is approx. 10 yrs old and I THINK it uses a T-8 bulb(?) I dunno. It hasn't burnt out in many yrs.
Any ideas and or suggestions?
Thanks
