Well I posted about 6 months ago I posted here about SW. well I now finally have the tank and am doing FW for now.
I have had tanks the past, but a lot has changed since.
INFO
I have a 75Gallon w/stand I got used with the below for $275
Questions:
What filter? I don't like the one i have it's noisy and i have cloudy water (witch can be that bacteria starting to take off) i also want a clean look on top and it is NOT lol
so canister or wet/dry or wet/dry canister?
I/we admit i did a few things out of order from whats recommend here, I am cycling with some bottom feeders and zebra danois (not sure if you can kill these things LOL), and a Betta.
I have live plants, they are planted already, and fertilized, seem okay so far. (i should have waited a few weeks on these I know! found out after my girl friend brought them home and put them in LOL)
finally do i need carbon in the tank at all times? I guess the chemical part of the filtration has me confused.
