First post, but long time fish keeper. Haven't kept fish in almost a decade, so my knowledge isn't as sharp as you fine folk.
I have space for a 48 by 18/20 inch tank, probably 20 inch high. Saw one with canopy and 30 inch tall stand.
What sort of filter would suit a solitary or maybe group of large predator (relative to tank size).
I think substrate would be single wood piece and palm size rocks and plants tucked in the wood.
Any help with lights and filter would be greatly appreciated I'd like it crystal clean, I remember UV lights but never knew how to use them.
My knowledge of tools and plumbing is low at best.
I do have some budget, probably 1000-2000 total without fish, my friend says he has something waiting once tank is running cycled and supporting feeders.
Thank!
