It's been about two years since i broke down my tank and sold everything. My stepson was telling me about his fish at his moms house and that was it, the bug bit me!
I'll be picking up my new craigslist find tomorrow morning, a 40 gallon - breeder i'm pretty sure. The tanks i've had in the past have all been 29 gallons or less, so i've never had a sump or anything, just hob filters. I've read tons of articles about them and watched about 50 youtube videos and I still just dont understand very well. Is it really necessary to have one for this tank? Could I simply run 2 hob filters?
I also really want to paint the back of the tank, but last tome i tried that it looked awful. Do you take the trim off and then paint or leave the trim on? I used a roller and krylon paint and it turned out very blotchy.
Any help is appreciated!
