I stumbled across this site recently & have been really informed by the various feedback given on the forum. I have had 20 gallon FW tank for awhile and took a partial plunge into SW. I say partial because I bought the tank, stank, light, book, filtration,etc. Upon further review, I decided that I didn't have the stomach or desire to spend the $$ on SW. Unfortunately, I purchased a bunch of stuff online that I now need to return. (40 lbs of Aragalive Fiji Pink Sand, XP2 Filstar Cannister Filter, EBO Jager 200 watt heater, as well as the massive pail of Instant Ocean).
Going back the FW route, my question is about the XP2 filter and Aragalive sand. For a 38 gallon tank, is that filter & heater overkill and can the sand be used in a fw tank?
Also, what direction on filtration, heating and other basic equipment would anyone recommend. I plan on having a variety of fish for a basic community tank. Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
