Yet another Newbie and Filter Seeker
I have 100 lbs of sand in my 75 gallon tank and wish I had put in 150.
Good luck! g

Hello all
So I am new to all of this. I just moved to Buffalo NY last month and
I just purchased a 72 gal bow front and would like your suggestions on
filters for a plant tank. I read thru most of the messages right up to
'99 but kinda figured I would throw this question out again.
A. Firstly, since I am starting from scratch... here is what I have
bought so far
5 X 16lbs flourite
5 X 25lbs gravel
Is this enough? It hasnt been delivered yet so I guess I could always
change the ratio and amount. Opinions?
1 X CO2 from Nutrafin
B. I need a filter. So far I found out that a canister filter is
probably my best option. And by the looks of things a Fluval or an
ehiem would be a good choice. Anyone recommend the Ehiem with the
heater integrated with it? I have seen a couple of other filter such
as the internal ProAquatics filter which comes with a heater inside
it. I dont think I would want a filter that hangs on the outside
because I want the tank pretty close to the wall. I am a bargain
hunter so recommendations on where to buy it cheap would be FANTASTIC.
I think thats about it for the moment. Any opinions, suggestions or
information is greatly appreciated. Especially now. Thanks in advance.
