Showed my wife this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y1aR29-8nI (Continuation of the last) and she said, 'well how much space would a 240 gallon take up?" So now she wants a similar set-up! Even has it placed in our dining room. She has wanted Fronts since the one we had in our almost all male tank. She also loved all the cichlids we've had and knows my love of the little julies and calvus and cyprichromis.
I'm going to be on here asking a lot of questions - planning and getting ready for a setup like this- lol.
So, any initial suggestions?
Just to get the ball rolling, for filtration I like Eheim classic canisters but I'm not as familiar with the bigger ones I'll need for a set-up like this. After reading the praise of the lowly sponge filter thread on here I think 2-3 of those would be in order (right?). There's a lot of new things since I last had tanks - UV, in-line heaters, 3D backgrounds, LED lights (those current sattelite+ look pretty cool). Any and all ideas appreciated on where to start and how to end up where we want to go appreciated.
TIA,
Tony
