Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi there... I got a killer deal on some used aquarium stuff. I got a 55g tank & stand, 2 power filters (the ones that hang on the back of the tank), 2 undergravel filter plate things, some tubes and stuff, and 2 power heads (I think thats what they're called). It's all in really rough shape, but I paid a big $40 for it, so I couldn't really say no.
Now, my main question is what the %^@! to do with the undergravel stuff and power heads. I've seen the canister filter setups before, but this setup seems to have no canister, so I don't quite get what it does. A friend of mine said that the power heads just suck water through the gravel and shoot it back out in the tank, but it's all below the waterline. Can I use this equipment with a filter somehow?
I think I'm going to use this tank for a few oscars (2 or 3 at most). Do I even need all this fancy hardware?
Thanks!
