Pics Of My 55G Tank

Here's some pics of the 55 G tank. Again taken with a camera phone so sorry about quality.

I've got three(5 inch)Sens, two angels and two cories in it. I know, I know... the cories will be moving out into a different tank, as the Sens get bigger...lol.

whats the junk at the bottom of your tank? old gravel?

Nope fresh frozen beefheart and brine shrimps..lol. Tried to lure out Splotch but no luck... So here's some of Uno.

thats a fat bichir what kind of filtration do you have ? any other tank mates ? looks like a happy bichir though

 

[moonchild1970]

Lol...yeah they are very happy and fat. Right now I'm using a sponge filter(filters up to 125G) and a Duetto filter.

There are three Sens in there, two angels and two cories(which will be moved out once the Sens get bigger).

But upgrading soon to a canister type. Right now I'm checking out which ones are the good ones. As I'm new to those types.

Would you know which are good ones? Could you recomend one?

Go with Eheim Pro II Series or Rena XP3. Some prefer Eheim Classic but they're a bit too CLASSIC for my taste in canisters. I heard they're the best value for the money and the only downside is that priming can be tricky. They're super quiet and easy to assemble. My bichirs are picky eaters so they will only eat shrimps and carnivore pellets.

Not a good idea but FX5 is also a very nice filter. This filter will create too much current for a 55gallon.

Thanks Guys. I've been meaning to get opinions on this. Keep them coming. So far Eheim sounds like the way to go! Now which one would be best for a 55G tank? *Scratches head*
