Is it worth the extra costs for the fluval? How difficult is it to setup and maintain. Also, Zagz keep me up to date with your plants in sand. Thanks!

It's been a while since I have been on this web site, and have had very little to report about my aquariums. But, now I am within two months of setting up my 75 gallon and I am very excited. I would like everyone's input on some of the setup. First off is canister filter, right now I am leaning...

Ok, thanks for the help Toirtis! :D

Well the anacharis is already in the tank... I neglected to inspect them before I put them in (was really excited about my first live plants). So the snails are already out and about. This would be a problem, correct? I'll start trying to smush them all, but is there something that I could put...

I was just excited, I came home with two Oto cat's! They are so cute, and they started cleaning the tank right away. My pleco is now part of my brother's 55 gallon. The pleco was lazy anyways. Also, I came home with two bunches of Anacharis, which seem to have had some snail hitch hikers... I'm...

LOL, of course I will have pics up. Half the fun of having fish is showing them off! :D

Ok, thanks Jchillin, you've been a huge help!

What is everyone's take on diatom filters? I know they are a pain to maintain, but is it worth it? I like the fluval's too, as well as the eheim's. Decisions, decisions.. :D

The tank came with UGF but I am not interested in using this. Rather, I would prefer a canister filter. What would be the best for me to use? Also, the canopy on the tank came with 5 48' light fixtures and a ton of 40watt bulbs. If I were to use all of these lights, I would need a CO2 injector...

Interesting, I live right outside the Ft. Worth city limits. I think you can count on me being there! :D

I think she might go for a SA theme, provided I keep my 10 gallon going so she can have guppies. I took her to the lfs and showed her some different Cichlids, she seemed to like them enough. Thanks for the advice!

I was not aware of that... My fiancé really likes fancy guppies, would they be compatible with SA Cichlids? Thanks!!

Excellent! Thanks for the input :D
