not a good idea to have 2 aros. Better to either have 1 or atleast 5.

depends on your filtration and water change schedule

what is the best filtration to get.how how meny water change in 1 weak

 

[skylineiz]

depends on your stock lol

go have a read through the stickies they will explain alot to you.

go with a sump with decent media your need turn over the full tank volume many times per hour.

more stock you have the more water you must filter p/h,

i use a sump/ + fx 5, and do water changes 1nce a week.
other people do 1ce every two days, search for WC* you will get a tonn of info
