Hi all,
I am going to start building my first aquarium in a couple of weeks. I am going to do a planted freshwater but am a complete newbie. I have read through the steps/cycles but am curious if I would need multiple equipment such as heaters, filters, etc as opposed to one for a tank this size. I am learning the lfs is not the most trustworthy, neither is the help from petsmart. For example, the lfs told me I could have 5 or 6 black ghost knifefish for a tank this size but I am skeptical b/c of the size they grow to. Any thoughts on the necessary equipment or backup equipment to start up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
