Hello everyone,
You've all helped me amazingly in the past with my first "starter" 20 gal. setup. Wow I did not know what I had gotten myself into, but here I am a couple years later, tore down my old setup and moved. Perhaps the greatest regret I had was a 20 gal. tank, now I'm ready to go with a 29-45 gal. setup (space restricted) and I feel less inclined to buy a "starter" kit from the box store. On the same token, I don't want to drop $2K on the Ferrari of 45 gal setups. Assuming a good tank is a tank, where should I start?
Say I buy a 36 gal bow front and stand, what are the good brands and bad brands of accessories? Hang on back filter or canister or other? Etc. I'd like to build a long lasting and reliable setup for freshwater, suitable for live plants.
Any recommendations? Thanks!!!
