Hey everyone so over the weekend I got a great deal on a fluval 306 canister. I just set it up last night. Now I have never used a canister filter before so I don't really know much about them. The filter is running and I can hear a pretty decent humming coming from the canister. Is this normal...
I have my 32g tank set up in my bedroom. I'm running a aquaclear 70 on it but I find the humming of my filter is far to loud for me to sleep. Does anyone see any problems arising from me shutting down my filter nightly from around 10:30pm to 4:30am?

Noob question. I have always used gravel in my tanks but I'm starting up a new 30 g and want to give sand a try. What is a quick step by step procedure to rinse the sand before using it in my tank? What am I looking for to know my sand is rinsed and such?

So I just bought a 70 gallon off kijiji for 80 bucks with stand. My first question is will it be to heavy to put on the second floor if my house or will it be okay? Second question is what's my best option for a filter, I don't want to get a canister because I don't have that much extra cash...
I haven't really though up a stocking list yet but I have really taken Interest in Clown loach's and I have been looking at the cichlid section at my lfs a lot lately.
So I know that there is no "best" tank size because it's all personal preference. However I'm just wondering what people think is the best tank size is that you can get a good amount of fish in. I have a 10 gallon tank that is extremely limiting and I want to start thinking about an upgrade. I...
