I can't seem to make up my mind on which kind to buy. I don't exactly want to spend a lot of money right now, but I know my tank will need a better filtration system. I had in there for several years 3 12"+ pacus, 2 oscars, achara catfish 12" and various other fish throughout the years. I only had 2 AC 500's and a UV sterilizer with powerhead for 40-70g (dismiss powerhead as source of water flow). The tank basically ran itself with almost no maintenance (somehow).
I recently redid the tank, but did not empty out the water and kept the filters as normal. I know have
1 achara catfish 12"
1 pleco 9"
1 oscar 7"
4 3" irridiscent sharks
4 2-3" tricolor/bala sharks
2 2" rainbow sharks
1 2-3" redtailed shark
2 1-2" columbian sharks
I know that these fish will get big as I've had them all before. I got these fish about 1 1/2 months ago. I changed the gravel over to sand almost 2 weeks ago. Parameters are all fine, and no major problems.
I just got a marineland hot magnum for my 54g and I really like how it works. Was thinking about getting the bigger one for the 125g, but read how some ppl have had bad experiences with them and having to buy parts for.
Any thoughts?
