Hello there, I have been scouring the forums for information, and before this I didnt realise how much effort was required to keep a tank (in excellent condition). I have had two tanks in the past, the last of which I passed on my fish to another because I was so darn busy.
Anyway, I have got a 10.5 Gallon (U.S) tank.. Its in pieces at the moment because the bottom was leaking. While I reseal it, I want to gather the equipment required for a planted tropical tank. I have been looking on eBay at eheim can filters, but dont really know which model to get for the size of my tank.
Lighting is also something i dont fully get. My "lid" has a fitting for one lamp only, with no reflectors, and my power supply only supports one light fitting (although i have 2 different supplies for different bulb thinknesses). Would I be able to buy reflectors to fit 2 bulbs (if required) and a power supply which allows for 2 bulbs?
Sorry if these are very n00b questions, and if im asking whats already been answered, I just need pointing in the right direction .
