So I've been thinking about setting up a FW tank for some time now....bounced around from Discus, to Africans, to a planted tank, and now I think I am just going to go with a basic community set up.
I've had FW tanks before but I want to do everything the "right" way this time.
The tank is going to be 55 gallons
So here are my questions to start with....
Is it better to use RO/DI water and add some of that RO right type stuff to it or just my tap water treated with a de-chlorinator Start Right type chemical?
What's every ones opinions on filtration? HOB or Canister? Bio-wheels or no?
What is the best brand of test kit for the FW market?
I don't want to ask anymore and make this post too long and boring....sorry to be asking such new-be questions...I'm reading posts and the articles section and trying to pull what I can out of there as well!
