I was also thinking about getting a hydor external heater what are your thoughts on these? are they any good or just a waste of money?

Yeah i see what you mean mollys might not be the best idea after all i will deffinatly get some black neons like you suggested tho :)

great a 305 it is then hehe i saw on a review that to replace the sponges with cheap filter wool get biomax rings for the 2nd compartment and take out the carbon and keep it for when i need it to remove medication from the water do's that sound about right?

I do like the swordtails they are a stunning fish and always quite active i just got 2 males just incase i didnt like them if i had got males and females and didnt like them and they bred like crazy it would be annoying lol i was also thinking of getting 3 or 4 mollys aswell do you think they...
