I purchased the aqueon 29 gallon starter kit and am currently cycling the tank with 9 zebra danios. Like many before me who have made this mistake, I am researching this hobby after setting up. I have had many questions and this board has been great thus far. I have a few more this evening.
I am thinking of setting up a 15 gallon tank at my office and will need to purchase a new filter. I believe my 29 gallon aqueon starter kit came with a "Quiet Flow 20" which is rated at 125 gph. Through reading this board and other resources, it seems important to have filtration that goes beyond the company ratings. Therefore, I am considering using my aqueon "quiet flow 20" for my 15 gallon tank and upgrading my filtration for the 29 gallon tank. If this seems like a good idea, please suggest a good filter for the 29 gallon tank (preferably one that is reasonably priced). To provide more information, I plan to have 4-5 small species cory cats, 2 schooling fish of 8-10 each (zebra danios and either celestial pearl danios or a small tetra type), something for algae control and a yet to be decided feature fish (suggestions welcome). Also, although I am a bit intimidated, I may try some low light plants (annubias, java ferns?).
Thanks in advance
