Hey all, some of you have posted on my other forum asking about whether or not to use power heads with a ugf... I thank you for the replies!
Now that I know what kind of filtering I will need for a 29 or 30 gallon tank, now I am shopping around trying to find a good price. I was at Walmart last night and say the 29gal tank for $100 with everything except gravel and decor. I have also been looking at a local fish shop called Elmer's Aquarium and have been looking at their tanks. The LFS is obviously more expensive, but am I getting a lot better parts?
Walmart's filters are Aqua TECH 20-40gallon rated. Using the aqua tech brand would be nice considering that if I needed more filters I could grab them at wallys, rather than driving 40 minutes to the LFS.
Here is the link to the 30gallon long tank I am looking at over at Elmer's:
30 Gal Tank Prices
NOTE: I am not getting the power heads UGF or anything other than the tank, lights, heater, filter, and gravel. So with all that added up I'm looking at roughly $200.30+tax.
This is obviously much more than the Walmart setup but it appears from what reviews I read, the perfecto tanks, lights, aqua clear 50 filter, and visitherm heater are all better components than walmart's brand.
Any suggestions? I am not going to buying this new tank until around May, I just want to get things set while I work on the stand. Thanks in advance, you guys rock!
