Good news for me! I just made a deal to acquire (Craiglist) a used 100G tank, with stand and canopy (lights), everything is in great condition....and I got it for 230 dollars.
I will pick it up next weekend. The tank is running with about 10 small fish, the couple who sold it to me just got twins, and they are super busy, not able to properly maintain the tank. The tank is dirty right now and with a big algae problem.
They will give their fish to a neighbor, I will get everything else. I'm thinking to replace the substrate with PFS from Leslie's
My first question: the tank is running with a 4 months old ( new ) Rena XP 4 canister filter. Is this filter good? I heard mix reviews about it. My idea is to keep this filter and add my actual filter (Canister also Jebo 838 ), combined they will move around 760 GPM, which I know is just the rated flow, so in reality I will have around 400GPM.
Before I moved my fish, I will do a fishless process in the tank, hopefully will be fast because I will use my actual canister filter.
My second question is your opinions for the future stocking, I will transfer what I have in my actual 26G tank: 1angelfish, 7 rummynose tetras, 6 golden white clouds, 5 Julii corys, 2 Siamese algae eaters, and an apple snail. I'm also will move 4 panda corys from my sons tank.
Ideas here?
