Hi All,
I'm Jonathan, a total newbie, I just set up a tank for a hobby to pursue with my son G, who is 5.5 years old. He's allergic to anything with fur, so this is an attempt to give him a pet experience and teach him some responsibility and a bit more science that I originally realized.
I bought a starter 37g tank from Petsmart, their Topfin brand, that came with a 200w heater, a powerfilter 40, and some sample conditioners and food. I added a master test kit and a Python, an air compressor with an airstone and a bubble wall, some plastic plants, live plants, ornaments for fish hiding spots and lastly G chose a SpongeBob Pineapple undersea dwelling!
I already got the good advice of buying the biggest tank I could afford / carry, getting a Python and a master test kit.
Looking forward to trying a fishless cycle and learning more from everyone here.
Thanks.
