Hey all...I'm a new user to this site and i've been monitoring the forums for a few weeks now. Just wanted to say you guys are very helpful and very tolerant of those of us who are new to the hobby.
I am going to start my first tank and have some questions. I am planning on buying a 30-33 gallon setup. Entertaining the idea of a low-light community tank.
First of all,
Could you recommend a quality filter that I might use? My LFS has a package deal for a 33 gallon with a heater, an AC-200 filter, and some other accessories for about $230 CDN (approx. 175 US$).
Would you recommend such a package for a newbie or should I buy separate components?
Mostly, I am curious about my stocking ideas. If you see any compatibility problems (temperment,environmental, or otherwise) please let me know.
A school of tiger barbs
School of zebra danios
A couple Gouramis of some kind
A small school of corys
Possibly a few smaller loaches
Some algae eaters if necessary
I'd appreciate any advice or insight you might be able to provide. Thanks in advance for your help.
