I am a complete rookie to aquariums but want to take the plunge so I need some advice from all you experts out there.
I am planning on buying a 46 gallon acryllic setup this weekend and need some help on what else I will need for a nice freswater setup.
First off, how do you feel about acryllic vs. glass setups? Pros / Cons
What else do I need? I'm thinking about getting a Rena XP2 or XP3 filter? Is XP3 overkill for a 46 gal setup? Do both models have inline heaters and will I need an additional heater if I go with one of these models?
Air pump or powerhead....what are these for and do I need? Brands / Models suggested?
Water conditioner?
Should I buy a setup with wet/dry filtration system already installed? Pros/ Cons?
Anything else that you could think of would be a big help for a rookie?
Thank you so much and this site is so cool? Never knew anything like this existed.
