Hi everyone, I'm new here.
I have a few questions about how I set up my aquarium I don't know if I'm posting in the right place.
Read my intro- http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=326724
Questions-
1- Are 150 and 200 GPH penguins enough for 60 gallons? (I want 2 in case one fails ) I asked the fish guy at the pet store if the GPH adds up across two filters and he wasnt sure (he did say two filters could cause for circulation which could harm small fish)
2- Rinsing 50 lbs of gravel was no fun. I used chlorinated tap water to rinse and also to fill the tank out of the lack of buckets to pre-dechlorinate. I was wondering if when I add the dechlorinator will it reach between the bits of gravel? Will it affect the bacterial colony I'm trying to build up? Do I have to wait 48 hrs to start the cycle, or start over?
That is all for now,
Thank You,
Ammonia Muncher
