Thank you for the response. I looked him over thoroughly yesterday and the rest of him is fine, just the one fin. I've been keeping a close eye on the other fish in the tank, and I haven't seen anything amiss. I started medicating the poor guy as soon as I moved him to the quarantine tank with...

Sounds like you have a solid foundation for your system; you've got all the bases covered. For your heater I'd suggest placing it next to your outtake pipe so the heated water gets sucked up through the filter and dispersed back into the tank by the spraybar. Be prepared when you get your SunSun...

My tank is 120 gallons with six Agassizi cory catfish, one Banjo catfish, and seven Giant Danios. It's been set up for over two months now, is fully cycled, and I just added the Agassizi and Banjo two weeks ago. I had to go out of town for the weekend (no worries, they have an automatic fish...

I really like the look of the 3D fake rock foam backgrounds. The downside is that they're pricey and they cover the back so you can't suction cup anything to the back panel. My second choice is a black background since it has a very clean and non-intrusive look, as well as the benefit of helping...

Oh, and as for heaters, after hearing horror stories about submersible heaters failing and frying whole tanks, or breaking and releasing toxic chemicals and broken glass, I decided to replace my submersible for an inline heater. I have a 300 watt Hydor heater installed in the return line from...

Some of the SunSun canisters come with basic media, and all come with coarse and fine filter pads; you just have to read the details. They also have built-in primer pumps and valves that shut off the intake and outflow tubes so it doesn't leak everywhere when you open it up to clean it. The...

I'm running two SunSun HW-304B 525gph canister filters on my 120 gallon tank. It turns the water over about 9x an hour. They're 5 stage with four media trays and a UV sterilizer. I got mine off eBay for $90 each from cll_petsupplies and free shipping. Here's a link: 200 Gallon Aquarium Fish...

I use a 300 watt Hydor in-line external heater hooked into the inflow line of my SunSun canister filter. All the measurements are given in ID, or internal diameter of the hose, not how wide across it is on from the outsides. That being said, since I had the SunSun 525gph HW-304B, the big brother...

As for canister filters, I can recommend a brand I've had really good results with for a fraction of the cost of popular brand name filters. Check out SunSun canister filters on Amazon or eBay. I own three of these, one of which has been going strong under a heavy bio load for over a year now...
