Aquarium Advice Activist
OK, starting a new thread with more questions, I think my other thread died.
New 65gal aquarium came with a Penguin 300, UGF, gravel, rocks.
Throwing away the UGF. Is the Penguin 300 going to be sufficient? If not, what filter do ya'll recommend? Thinking about getting various cichlids, but not an oscar.
300w heater sufficient? Which brand and where's cheapest? Big Al?
How do I remove hard water stains/calcium deposits from glass? Is it safe to clean the outside with Windex with no water or fish in it yet? Is soapy water bad on the inside even if you rinse it well?
Do I need to go buy 65 gallons of RO water now?
How much gravel am I going to need since I chucked the old? Or is sand better? Can I re-use the big rocks and chunks of slate it came with without doing anything to them?
Thanks all.
