I have a 40 gallon tank and I just got a 150 Gallon tank that was SW with stand, hood, undergravel filter with 3 power heads 802, an extra powerhead rio 3100 and heater, protein skimmer (not in good condition), plus coral sand, rocks and corals all for $350. I have many questions.
Below is the list of what I plan to do with the tank and would appreciate any feedback to make the set up better (I am still very new to this hobby and need a lot of HELP!
In the 40 g tank I have:
5 parrots
3 silver dollar
3 gouramis
2 plecos
4 angels
1 raphael cat fish
2 monos
3 algae eaters
1. I plan to move tank to tank.
2. I will clean out the tank with vinegar and clean off all the rocks with mild bleach solution before starting the cycle. ( no corals, no sw sand, no protein skimmer) substrate pool sand.
3. Here I need help, I plan on getting a pro clear 200 wet/dry filter with the rio 3100 or get a fluval fx5, this will work well or what you recommend?
4. I will be keeping live plants and adding them to start a fishless cycle.
Any glaring mistakes or omissions? I have one year with my 40 g tank, previously I done it all wrong, this one I want to try and do right from the start and save myself some headaches.
Thanks!
