Hi everyone,
I recently found a 29gal aquarium at a rummage sale, and saw it as a perfect opportunity to upgrade from my little 10gal.
The tank itself is in good condition with the exception of a chip on one of the corners. The size of the chip is about equal to the diameter of a penny. The shard is still in place so I'm unsure of how deep it is, but I don't think it extends to the inside seal. Do you thing that this might be a problem?
The other question I have is about filtration. The tank did not come with a filter, but I currently have an old Whisper 2 HOB power filter. I'm not sure what it compares to for newer models, but the box says that its capable of filtering up to 150gal/hr. I plan on using this for mechanical filtration, but any suggestions on what I could add to increase bio filtration?
I would like to eventually having a medium fish load of platies, swordtails, etc.
I should also add that I am a student on a very limited budget, so expensive fancy equipment is out of the question. I love DIY projects though!
Thanks!
