Hi all, been a while. Hope you've all been well.
I'm gathering together the kit right now for a new tank. I am getting rid of both 12g 24"x12"x15" in my sig and will replace them with a 48"x15"x21" 55g (uk). It will still be freshwater tropical. I won't be rushing to get this done though as my room where the tanks will be needs redecorating before I do it.
I've been looking at this CO2 system and wondered what you guys thought of it or if you know anywhere I can get a similar setup cheaper? I wrote this fella about a price without the cylinder as I already have a 2kg one here but he hasn't gotten back to me as yet, maybe he doesn't speak good English.
They sell the cylinders separate for 39 euro's each but to put that kit together from his listings would cost way more.
My Fluval 104 isn't up to the job for this tank so I've decided I like the Eheim filters with the heater in the bottom. I like the idea of no heater in the tank. Does anyone have one or can tell me if they are worth it? Also if you have any knowledge about the wet/dry filters Eheim do it would be good. The 2327 looks like quite a good deal to me as it comes with media, heater and wet/dry for £154 compared to £165 for the 2126 without media. A media pack is £25.
I will have to make a lid and I'm thinking T5's for lighting, they last longer than T8 right and are brighter for the same length? Would I get away with one strip or would 2 be better?
That's about it for now. I'm looking on ebay for stuff cheap but I'll prolly end up getting most of it new. I'll have more questions when I think of stuff. Cheers.
