I am getting a new 35 gal tank and need advice. You may post other ideas is you wish.

Since this is in the BW forum, I would think either a single GSP or 2-3 F8s.

A stars and stripes puffer is not appropriate at all for a 35f gallon tank. It shouldn't be an option.
I think 2 F8's would be awesome.

Me either! But I went back and voted - for an F-8, but 2 should be okay if small together when started.

A stars and stripes puffer: Minimum Tank Size: 180 US Gallons (670 liters)

So as said before, it shouldn't be an option.

I agree with all above, 2 F8s and remove the S&S as an option

All fixed! But something went wrong with the poll but I think I will get two F8's. With a penguin biowheel 200 as a filter. Thanks
