Ok first off let me say this. This might be the greatest forums on the internet. I have been operating a saltwater tank now for 7 years and have had lots of great tips from this site. The reason I need some help is this......
I just recently received a 38 Gallon Tank (I Think) the tank demensions are 36"x12"x20". I received this from a neighbor that was getting rid of it free of charge so I thought what the hell. I received the tank, a Whisper 3.0 filter system, heater, and light. My concern is this. I have never ran a Freshwater tank and I have a few questions regarding this. Here they go......
1. For Freshwater...What is the water temperture that should be mantained?
2. I also received some "fake" plants, should I use these or is it better to get real ones?
3. What are some good fish choices to start out with?
I hope this works as I want a tank that the kids can help out with. And if something goes wrong I ain't out alot of money as I am with my saltwater tank. Thanks for all your help.
PS: I thought I would post a picture of my saltwater tank for you to see.
