Aquarium Advice Addict
Alrighty, I'll Hopefully be moving in a month. I want to set up a NEW tank, then once cycled, bring over my fish from my current location.
Just looking at petsmart online, I'm thinking 5 bags of florite, and 2 of black sand.
My question really is: Does ANYONE know how much, Just a 55 gallon, or a 75 gallon tank + hood (no lights, or "stock" lights) is? i cannot find a price list for the life of me! London is fairly close to the states, and i hear there is a MASSIVE re-seller warehouse that is open to public. I got my perfecto 44 gallon Hex for 110 bucks, when big-als wanted 220. (100% markup! Crazy!)
But the guy i know who goes there fell off the face of the planet.
Baiscally, Heres my list so far.... I'm debating going eco-complete... I have it in my current 2 tanks... However, My 15 gallon bag was HORRIBLE. it was all silt. By the time i finished "rinsing" the silt out, i need another bag. i would say more than 60% of the bag was made of pebbles smaller than 1mm in size. The fish kick up a storm of "dust" until i gravel vac'd it until i lost half my substrate.
Will that triple tube T8 light output enough light for me? I figure it will be even lighting. Right now i have PC all the way.
I still need to get prices on simple 55 or 75 gallon tanks. And will an XP3 REALLY do the job for a 75? or should i get something else?
