So just yesterday, I finally got a larger tank that I had been wanting for a while. It's the Marineland 60 gallon heartland aquarium ensemble! It comes with tank, stand, hood, and lights. Great deal at petsmart right now, only $249.99 online and in stores!
All I need to decide on is filters, heaters, substrate, aquascape, and fish now, no biggie lol. I was wondering on what your guys input is on the Marineland emperor 400 filter? I was considering getting that, it's 400 gph. But then I did some research and found the Aqueon quiet flow power filter 55/75 is much cheaper and is also 400 gph, I could practically get 2 aqueons for the price of 1 Marineland. What would you guys recommend?
Also how many watts should the heater be? Should I get one heater for the whole tank or 2 smaller wattage heaters on separate ends?
For fish, Im going to go with Africans, Ive done tons of research on them and have kept them in the past(not in an appropriate sized aquarium)so Im excited to give them an environment that will suit them! How many could I add to this tank. I like brichardi, yellow labs, white socolofi, yellow tail acei, various peacocks, and zebras. How would you stock these Africans for my size tank?
Just want to thank everyone now for all the help! I'll post pictures ASAP!
