Stinkin' Darn Stupid Coldwater tank setup
So my lovely freakin' wife allowed my daughter to win a stinking goldfish at a stupid local town event. Since I am every so pleased about this crap yet am unwilling to just kill the fish this means I'm adding a stupid tank for the stupid goldfish.
Coldwater setup, 38 gallon with sand (here I come SSAAC) substrate, fake plants. 1 stupid stinkin' freakin' goldfish, maybe 2 dojo loaches, and a small school of white clouds.
So, I need a "vote" of sorts on filtration. Eheim 2028 canister or Aquaclear 110? Now, I know that the Eheim is superior, but since I am SO freakin' happy to have to be adding this lovely coldwater tank, I'd like to save a little money. Any thoughts?
Oh, and BTW, I named the goldfish. His name can't be printed here, but it is a compound word. The first word is a slang word that is used to reference one's posterior and the other word is "hole".
My daughter just calls him "Goldie". Thankfully.8 tanks running now:
1x 220 gallon, 2x55 gallon, 1x40 gallon long, 1x29 gallon, 1x20 gallon long, 1x5.5 gallon, 1x2 gallon
Gouramis, barbs, rasboras, plecos, corys, tetras, fancy guppies, swordtails, ottos, rainbow shark, upside-down catfish, snails, and Max and Sparkles the bettas.

Considering what it is, you could really go cheap with an air pump and sponge filter. Unless you want that stinkin' goldfish to have a pretty tank, daddy.
