Hey all,
Picked up a tank at a garage sale. The seller (was not his) was not sure about the capacity. Having lugged it home with my friend I measured it: 48"WX21"HX18"L, comes out to roughly 78 gallons, which I (being a complete newbie) means that this is a 75 gallon tank. Does that sound right?
I want to create a freshwater environment in this thing. I was wondering, since I don't live that far from the sea shore, can I go and pick up small pebbles to be used as a gravel? Other then rinsing them, anything else has to be done in order for them to go into a freshwater tank?
Please help with this. I was undbale to find a site with pictures about a basic aquarium set up. I mean the most basic for now. I have no idea how to mount a filter(especially if the filter looked something like this http://www.aquariumguys.com/penguin350b.html), and do I really need hood? Is there a site for that?
Thanks,
Lorus...
