Hello! I currently have a 10 gallon tank, and I am planning to upgrade soon to a 50-60 gallon aquarium and I have a few questions:
1. Would two sponge filters and an aquaclear 70 filter be enough as far as filtration goes? Also, I know there are certain filters that are too powerful for some tanks. Would the aquaclear 70 be? Does this apply to sponge filters? (for 50 gal? 60?)
2. What size tank would be better?
65 Gal: 36 x 18 x 25"
50 Gal: 48 x 12 x 20"
3. Would it be okay to put the tank in front of a window? (I realize this can cause some issues). I don't have any other room to put the tank, but I could move my dresser in front of the window to make room. (I just don't want to move it if I can avoid it because my 10 gallon is on top of it).
4. I would like to have either a goldfish tank, or a livebearer tank.
If I made it a pearlscale goldfish tank (assuming it's a 50 gallon) how many could comfortably fit in there?
If I made it a livebearer tank (assuming it's a 50 gallon) how many platies, mollies, and/or swordtails could I do?
(I don't know why I like the fish with such a high bioload )
