Hey all,
As some of you know we just started a 29 gal tank about a month ago.
My wife and I have quickly found out that a 29 gal tank will not do for our desired occupents, and is sevirly limiting us.
We were talking about upgreading to a 55 Gal in about a year, but after a visit to a new not-so-local Fish store, we found 75, and 90 gal tanks for only a small amount more, and are almost the same size (Wider, but same length).
So we are not sure which we will go with yet, but we are possibly thinking of upgreading a little sooner than a year, possibly in the next 4-6 months.
Our first tank we purchased everything the LFS suggested, and after chatting with many of you on here, we ended up spending $100's more, because the LFS steered us wrong to start...
So before we spend the big big money, I wanted to jump on here and get some input as to what all we will need/want to purchase for our 55, 75, or 90 gal tank.
Unless someone suggests otherwise, we were figureing on getting the tank predrilled for external sump filtration.
Beyond that We are open to suggestion, what type of rock/sand is the best, how much LR should we be looking at getting, what type/brand/model filter system, lighting, etc, etc
Are there any brand's of tanks we should look at, or stay away from? we will be looking at a glass tank.
Thanks for all the help.
