So I finally picked up a 55 gallon aquarium today. It came used with a stand, heater, 2 Whisper 30-60s, wood, rocks, and various fake plants and gravel. Plus hood an lights. It's pretty much the 55 gallon tanks you can get at walmart. So I never like the whisper brands to much so I picked up an aqua clear 110 to supplement one of the whispers. Hopefully sometime I can fully eliminate the whispers. Anyway, also have a koralia 750 powerhead. Tonight the rocks and wood go in and the heater is placed in and filters are on. I'm debating to fill with water tonight or just to wait. I was wondering about the powerhead, how far into the water can you place it? Is the cord safe underwater? Common sense says no, but curiosity says maybe.
Any suggestions on setups for a 55. General info about tanks this size etc. It's a big step from my little 5 gallon.
