As you can see I also got a heater, some natural colored gravel and a new piece of drifwood (I already had the one on the left.), but notice there is no filter. I have read that DP's are quite messy and I wanted to ask about filtration. I have a spare Aqua Tech 5-15 and was wondering if that would be good enough? I had it on a 10 gallon community tank and it just couldn't seem to keep up (slightly overstocked). Here is a pic on the inside:
As you can see there isn't that much room for media. It uses one of those blue slide in filters in the back and that front piece contains a small white piece of mesh. If I can use it I was planning on cutting up some foam from my AquaClear 20 and putting in there. So what do you think?
The layout:
I was thinking about adding a few small round rocks here and there and planting fairly heavy.
I know that I need to get the tank cycled and planted before I introduce the fish (and maybe a few shrimp) so I have a little time to plan some more. The LFS is suppose to call me the first of next week with the price and availiblity. I'm getting excited!
So now is the time to throw out suggestions on filtration, decorations or anything else that I may have not thought of. This will be my first puffer so I need lots of help.
