For about 10 years I raised anglefish fry and sold them to the LFS.

I never attempted to do that in a planted tank, I always used a totally
clean tank with no substrate and no plants. Fry always leave leftover food
and goop around and it's much simpler to vacuum out of a clean tank.

I'm about to purchase a new tank to use for QT and to try to raise some
fry. This tank will go in the master bedroom, on top of a wooden chest of
drawers. The tank will be planted, of course...
I was thinking of getting one of those eclipse combos, a 30 gallon looked
nice. It comes with 40W of fluorescent light.
Does anybody think it's not a good choice for the location? I certainly
don't want to deal with hoses and cables all over the place. The eclipse
concept is certainly convenient, but does it work?
Any advise would be most appreciated.

Cheers.
