Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Well folks,
The 30 gallon hex tank didn't quite pan out.
Drove an hour away from home to pick up the merchandise I 'won' from the auction...
Besides the fact that it was a little beat up,it turned out to be a 20 gal tank.
Thanks AA for the online calculator!!!
Anyways,the bug had already bitten,and needed to be sated.Long story short,I am now the proud owner of a 29 gallon Marineland Eclipse deluxe show combo starter kit.
Set 'er all up tonight.Planted some hardy ivy plants in the back.Got clay in the gravel,and a piece of driftwood soaking in a bucket.
Regarding nitrogen cycling....
the folks at the lfs (part of AL's Aquariums) are telling me that I should be firing in 3-4 fish as soon as the de-chlorinization process is complete to jump start the cycle.
They say a few hardy fish are essential to get things going.
Agree or dis-agree?
And if so,how bout some suggestions of species and breeds to get my little aqua farm going.
