Hey guys,

This is my first post here. Ill make sure I go introduce myself in the proper section whenim back on my computer and not on my Droid lol.

I need some help finishing my setup. I'm going to be needing to filter and heat 60-80 gallons in my enclosure. It is for my baby cainanwhich until now has been kept in a 55g tall aquarium, but she is nearly outgrown it and its time to upgrade.

The new enclosure is going to be a 6x3x2 stock tank and be 2/3 water but its only going to be about 10" deep. I'm using washed play sand (that I have gone through and wash what seems like a million tines more lol) and stream rock and pea pebbles for substrate. Most of the sans is going to be the "beach" and the rock is going to bein the water.

There will be fish constantly in the water as well as a source of "snacks""


I'd like to be able to have the water mid to low 70s and obviously clear as possible. The tank is going into my reptile room with all of.my pythons so I'm not worried about size of everything.

Someone recommended a fluvial fx5 but I've read not such great reviews. I know I'm not trying to move a ton of water like some of you guys but its more water than I've ever messed with.

Thanks for all the great info I've learned already on here. I can't wait to get everything up and running!
