Got a used marineland penguin 200 (rated for 50 gal) from a friend that got out of the hobby. Well I want to put it on one of two tanks but I can't decide which it would be better for. I'd either put it on:
-A 30 long with a stock of 1 female green sunfish (probably will be 2 greens soon), already has a sponge filter rated for 50 gallons running on it.
-A 20 tall with an eventual stock of 5-6 shiners or dace (probably SRBDs), 2 Greenside darters, and 2 rainbow darters, already has a sponge filter rated for 50 gallons running.
I know the 20 tall will be more heavily stocked but the sunfish are messier so I'm stumped on which tank to put the hob on. Which do you guys think it would be better on?
