Hello everyone, I currently have a 5g hex by marineland. I have 2 guppies and 3 neon tetras. I also have a double tale male betta (I will refer to him as steve from now on) in my bedroom in about 3/4 gal of water. I am looking at upgrading the neons and guppies to a 10 gallon tank. I have been told that I want to do 20, but I really don't have the room and don't mind doing the extra work to keep the 10g clean and running properly. Plus, right now I also have other things I want to buy, but those can wait. I would rather have the fish happy than my other hobbies (that have been on hold for a while anyway) to keep me from helping my fish. I then want to put steve in the hex 5 to make him even happier. (He made a bubble next and is swimming around all happy now)
So, I plan on getting a 10g tank from petco during their $1 per gallon sale until the 17th. I also plan on getting a hob filter. I dont know which one yet. I was looking at this filter
http://www.petco.com/product/102601/Aqueon-Aquarium-Power-Filters.aspx
but, I also like this one because it has a bio wheel. (which I think would help get the tank cycled better faster) can anyone help me out there? The pic of the one I am thinking of is off to the right for $17.99

But, I am willing to get anything that either petco carries or pet smart. I really, dont want to deal with used items right now. I would rather be able to run to the store and get everything I need so I can get the tank cycling.
Right now that is about it for any questions or concerns that I have right now. As dundadundun can vogue, I will have a lot more questions in the coming future.
Thanks in advance
