Re: new aquarium
what type of filter is that....looks to small for a tank that size. You want to shoot for 8-10x turn over.
Sand wise I think it would be ok, looking in the puffpeida they dont seem to bury so you dont need a deep sand bed, but you do need a lot of plants for them to hide in.

Re: new aquarium
well, im sure you know, but the powerhead does nothing for filtration, just water movement. That filter is way undersized for that size of a tank. Does it have any writing on the filter so we know what the water turn over is?

Re: new aquarium
though seeing your from croatia i wonder what you can get. If you cant find a AC 110, just get the filterthat has the most turn over you can find
