Questions about F8 setup
Posted: Mon Feb 28, 2011 5:38 pm
Hey guys...so I continue to plot
anyway I want to give you a rundown of what I want to do with my tank and ask you about a few questions I still have...Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Anyway so I have a 30 gall tank. I have a marineland penguin filter for a 20 gallon tank and I am getting another filter from a friend of mine who has it lying around his house (I am not sure the brand but it is for either a 20 or 30 gall tank) I was thinking about putting one on each side of the tank so the current is not all on one side. Is this a good idea or should I save up for a 30 gall filter...I would probably still go with marineland because I have dealt with really good customer service from them (unless there are much better solutions)
I am getting aragonite sand as the substrate and have the usual fake plants and ornaments and things, and marine salt for brackish purposes. I want to get one F8 puffer and Bumblebee gobies. Now for the gobies, I know that they are territorial but do they prefer to live in groups or singly assuming there are different territories for all of them.
I know that it is good to de-worm these fish when you first get them, but I can't seem to find what is used for it...I know it starts with a p...I think.. can anyone suggest a good brand? As for food I have an awesome snail population (pond snails and ramshorn snails) and am getting vita-chem and other shellfish and veggies which will vary throughout.
Anything I have forgotten or does it all sound fine?
