Rich college kid, not talking down on college kids cause I am one. But yeah. Couldn't believe it. Drove an hour an a half tonight to pick it up. Broke it all down myself, filled my entire truck bed. Amazing. I still can't believe it.

He was on weed or something. Thats a ridiculously good price

Congrats on that sweet deal and for having another new tank to set up!

Alright... I took today off work to set this thing up. I've gotta lay out everything and see what all I have. Everything he gave me was mostly in boxes, two powerheads were the only thing running on it when I got there. Should be an interesting day.

[cocoa_pleco]

its like a kid with a huge hotwheels track. Where the hell to start. lol

[slingham64]

You don't even know. I layed it all out. I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START. It's got a sump filter with the bioballs, I think that'll be the first thing, cause the piping's all gotta be run again. But then it has a larger hang on filter and smaller hang on filter, anyone think either of these is necessary? I've got a total of 4 heaters, all various sizes, I'm thinking one on both sides of the tank? Then it's got two HUGE powerheads, and a bunch of small ones. I'm thinking the two on either side would also work well. The UV Filter I'm not familiar with, anyone got some info on what to do with that. You need model numbers of stuff, let me know. An if anyone's from the Central Coast of California, feel free to come help!

you can nev3r have too much filtration. Man, i wish i was you right now. Although, i do have to finish my new 20g. I need more fish, more plants, and i'll get a canister filter in seattle.

I am STILL MAYA PI$$ED about the 20g.


1 month ago, just a 10g light at Petsmart was 80$, a all-glass one.

Yesterday, my new 20g from petsmart was 80$, came with the SAME dam light, and i got the tank and hood too, all for 80$. ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

Man I wish you were here to help sort out this mess right now. I just realized it also has a canister filter as well. At least I think it is a canister filter. See I'm a beginner an got a bunch of (expletive) that I've got no clue about, but I couldn't pass up on this deal. AHHHHH

[cocoa_pleco]

man, canisters are a royal pain if you dont know what youre doing. With mine i forget about the hoses and water flies allover, and you have to prime them at the start.

You got quite the set-up for the price.

The canister is messed up. Two of the clips for the lid are broken off, an the clip that holds the hoses is broken. I got the tubing ran for the trickle filter though. Does anything need to be put into the sump? Or just water. It's got the bioballs and sponge filters in it. Which look disgusting too, can I clean those in fresh water?

[cocoa_pleco]

yep. You can clean em in tap water. Sponges and bio-balls are good enough. Man, you got 60 lbs live rock! thats 480 dollars worth!
