10g or 20g tank
I'm looking to buy a 10g or a 20g tank to start the process of a sump.
Anyone selling or should I just get it from wal-mart??? Dave |

If I were you, I would go for the 20g as long as it fits in the stand. More is better in my opinion.
I don't have an aquarium for you. If you plan on making part of the sump a refugium, I have some chaeto for you. Free of charge. Just let me know if you want some, and when you want it. Thanks, Fred |

If you have room for a 20 long then that is what I would get. PSP has them for $30.

...but a 20L offers quite a bit of room if it will fit your stand... even room for your skimmer if you ordered on for in the sump.

I have a 15 that only had water in it for a week, never even had any fish, I live in BG, I can't even remember how much I paid for it but if you want it I'll give you a good deal, I really don't want to move it if I don't have to in May

That would depend on how much LR you have Dave... and your fish load. Yours is FOWLR right?

Go slow to build the nitrifying bacteria population and I can't imagine why you'd need the can...

Jen, I have a 10 gallon clear plastic tote from K-Mart. It has almost entirely filled that tote in about 2 months. This stuff grows like crazy and I have never seen more beautiful nitrate readings (knock on wood)! It is not real dense yet, but it is like it exploded!!! Thanks, Fred |
