Thanks everyone for your input... I ended up getting the Filstar Xp2 canister filter. It works great and the water looks nice and clear. When I get the larger tank I'll get the Xp3 for it since I may very well still keep the 29g tank. Hehehe... Having two tanks can't be that bad. :wink:

I have a 29 gallon tank for about a week now. I put in 2 male guppies and 4 female guppies. They are all eating and swimming around happily it seems. I woke up one morning and saw a baby fry being chased about... the more it moved the more it was chased. It disappeared soon after. Anyways...

Thinking of adding some guppies for starters and maybe a few plants.
