Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I'm a total noobie to this hobbie but I've always loved fish and had wanted to get started in it. Been reading AA for about a month now and there is sooo much great info and advise.
I'm thinking of getting a 40g Uniquarium or the Sea Clear system II. Both have a built in wet/dry filter.
I have a few questions regarding this kind of setup...
1. Anyone using a Uniquarium or the System II? How is the built in filter and how much real estate am i losing to the built in system...(i.e. - will i my 40g setup only hold 30g of water?...so should i get a bigger one?)
2. Would i be better off getting just a regular 40g tank and get separate filter system?
3. Besides the tank, filter, stand, LR, sand, heater, etc..., will i need other things such as a protein skimmer or any other equipment?
Right now...in my 6g tank...I have a Yellow Clown Goby and a small Sebae Clown. I want to get more fish but i don't want to keep them unhappy/unhealthy in a small tank. How long do I have to have my new setup cycle before i can get my fish in?
Thanks for any and all info.
