Hello!! I am new to this forum, but not new to the hobby. I have kept tropical fish since 6th grade, but since moving to college I haven't had any. I just bought a 40 Gallon Breeder tank and am in the process of purchasing all the other stuff. So far I'm planning on getting the following:
Filter--Marineland Penguin 350 x2
Heater--Eheim Jager 125 w (do I need more?)
Thermometer--HDE Aquarium Digital Thermometer
Substrate--PFS
Test kit--API Master test kit
Dechlorinator--API Tap Water Conditioner
Tank--Aqueon 40 Gallon Breeder (Have this)
So I'm not totally sure what hood/lighting to buy. Preferably cheap, as I'm in college right now and can't afford much. I'm planning on having low-light plants such as Java Fern, Java Moss, Anubias. (I know anubias like a little more light, but I've read they just won't grow as fast in low light level)
Thanks for all the help! I really appreciate it!!
