well i'm getting the 180g tank saturday and i got tons of questions keep in mind its not predrilled
1. what type of filtration would you guys recommend for this big of a tank? i'm assuming i can pretty much forget about hob filters hehe.
2. how many lbs of lr would be enough for this type of a tank i got near 100 lbs in my 55g if i transfer it to my 180 how much more would be good?
3.about ballpark how many lbs of ls would i need i got 60 lbs in my 55g i'm assuming i need a ton more.
4.how many power heads will i need?
5.how many watts am i going for here for the lighting system?
6. is it better to keep the hood canopy off and place the light over the bare aquarium? or should i build a lighting system into the canopy?
any more useful info would be greatly appreciated im so excited cant wait to get it hehe
