After being here for a little while, I'm kind of stressing now about the filtration in my tank. I set up the tank before I found this forum and now having been here I'm having 2nd thoughts about my UGF. I've been looking around at some alternative methods and I'm interested in getting a canister filter and am more interested in it now that I've got my tax returns as the canister seems to be expensive. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the Fluval 304. I saw it on Big Al's and it seems a reasonable price.
I'm also wondering if it would be effective if I added it in addition to my UGF or if I would have to remove the UGF and if I did remove the UGF, would I be starting a cycle all over again.
I'm unsure how the setup for a canister filter works or is set up, so I don't know how the inlets or outlets fit into the tank or where they would need to go. I'm planning on going to Preuss (GOOD LFS) to ask about them this weekend, but I'm on the impatient side as well, so I'm asking here too.
At the moment, the tank is clear and quite healthy and the fish that are in there seem quite happy and content, (I know most of you are saying "so what are you b*&%$ing about?"), I'm just wondering how long they are going to stay that way and if I'm going to be sorry I started with a UGF.
What can I say, I have to have something to worry about . . . it gets me through the day.
