Now I need to piece together some equipment.
I could buy that Fluval 406, that is complete and ready to go for $75 or I could buy that used package of 2 ac110's with the power head for $60 obo and get some sponge inserts, or should I keep looking?



What size heater do I need?
Saw this on craigslist, stuff is new

elite radiant 200 watt heater $10
aqueon pro 200 submersible heater $20
marina 200 watt submersible heater $15
marina 100 watt submersible heater $10
large mag float $10

also is pea gravel ok for a central/ south american cichlid tank or would sand be cheaper/ better? I kind of like how they push gravel around honestly lol
