Aquarium Advice Addict
HI!
I haven't had any aquariums in 12 years. Moving into a new place and can start my adventures again. I'm starting brand new fresh again. Bought a 55 gal Aqueon aquarium from Petco for $79. Originally $169.
Ordered:
48" Aquaneat LED Aquarium Light
Aqueon Quietflow LED Pro 75 Power Filter
Aqueon Replaement Filter Cartridges
Aqueon Pro Aquarium Heater 200 Watt
API Quick Start Freshwater Treatment
API Master Test Kit
Omega One Super Color Tropical Flakes
From what I remember I need to get a syphon, water change bucket, substrate (Gravel?), plastic plants, hiding places.... What else am I missing besides fish??
I want to mention I don't want something that will outgrow the tank, i want a variety more so than a single pair. I have a 5 and 6 year old who will be super excited to watch whatever I get. 55 gallons seems like quite a bit of space to have a lot of options.
FRESHWATER ONLY
Please feel free to give me any advice. I'm feeling like a semi newbie... with faint memories coming back to me. My dream was a bigger tank. In the past I had 10g, 20g L, 29g. I used to have a sick tank. Also did once a week partial water changes and vacuumed the gravel.
I had mollies, guppies, tetras, a betta in it's own 10g, ghost shrimp. I'm trying to remember what else. I had started branching out into the Cichlids and had gotten a Striped Cichlid-- he had an attitude lol
HELP me! Thanks!
