...I introduced myself in another thread, but just a quick re-cap: I have been out of the aqurium game for several years now but im divin back in. My questions are probably a little different than most "newbie forum" questions, but i kept them in here because they are awfully basic. My first question is, should I ask all my questions in one thread or keep it one question per thread? Most of them are about all the new companies and products that are available now that were not available 3-4 years ago. I dont know whats new and whats hot. As for my filter question, what would you guys recomend for a 55 gal that will probably host a large variety of small SA fish (i.e tetras) or a number of small SA cichlids (i.e firemouths and jewels), moderately planted. Im used to HOB filters and always stuck with the penguins and emporers, but I am considering a cansiter filter for this setup, but once again, lots of new products available, a few years ago it was either fluval or eheim, HOT magnum was around but had a bad name on this site and was rarely used. SOOO... what do you guys suggest???
