15 gallon help

[We Hate You]

Hey im gonna be getting a 15 gallon tank and i would like some suggestions on a very good filter for it, i was thinking about fluval but dont know what one would do the job. Was also wondering if you guys would help me choose a good heater for the tank. Thanks in advance.

fx5 should work

that would be a little overkill for a 15 gallon wouldnt it?

Yes it would I hope he was being sarcastic. Maybe give an aqua clear 30 power filter a shot ? Or a Penguin 200

This depends on your stocking level and amount of decor / flow need. And the stock in particular.

alright sweet ill check those out and any sugestions on a heater and an other quick question, i have a light fixture with two 24wat slots and i have one 10k bulb and an other with a actinic bulb. Should i swap out the actinic for an other 10k one? And would that be enough lighting for the tank? Sorry about my noobness

Eheim jager 100Watt heater and ditch the actinic bulb and go for a 24 watt 6700K, if one even exists. if not 10,000k will be ok too. i don't know ur plant list, but u will probably be ok on lighting.

Pretty planted tank you got there. Are you running DIY co2 on that?
