I got it today and all I can say is It's not a huge tank, but it is bigger than I expected. It came with everything (hood, light,filter,filter cartridges, fish food, automatic fish feeder, a net, a vacuum, and some awesome decorations) all for 60$. Thanks for the craigslist reference, mommytron
I am not sure what kind of bulb came in the hood though? It appears to be a fluorescent (sp?) light. It says 17W on it. Does that equal 6700K? Don't know what I'm talking about, I just want to make sure it will be decent lighting for planting. I am getting low light plants to start but I would like to build up to modereate light plants eventually.
Also I got PFS, and I am nervous to cleaning it when I do PWC's. I'm nervous that the vacuum will suck it up or that if I get a hair pick to "comb" it that I will jack it up. Any tips? Oh and to wash it I can put in a sock right, to let it rinse out good?
How do you use a gravel vaccum? Lol I want to do my first PWC.
One more thing, I got some Malaysian driftwood from the LFS the other day and it has been sitting in water for about 2 days time not. There is no color to the water at all in fact it seems crystal clear.
