Need Advice On A New Tank (( Haha Yes Another One))

[shelaghfishface]

its an aqua start 320, i couldnt resist BUT it will come in very handy if these kribs ever breed.theres one thing i have no idea on though, its got an undergravel filter, so how do i mature it? without having to go and take up space with another internal in there?
i did assume it would be a tricle filter like my other aqua one tank, but nope,that would be too easy so any advice would be great cheers, shelagh xxxxxxxx

my suggestion would be to forget about the undergravel and take it out and use sponge/box filter instead

what do u think?

 

[shelaghfishface]

yes i was thinking that, i have a spare sponge filter, but its a rena filster i think-ugly old blue thing, and i dont spose it would take up anymore of the tank than the UG will

th thing is it would be easier to cycle it
less problems with sponge than a undergravel
doesnt restrict u on what substrate to use

provides good bacteria for fry

my thoughts exactly,thankyou xxx

Yep use the sponge, much easier. Now what are you going to put in this one???

Looking to get something similar that size for my bedroom, but I want one in purple LOL - anyone seen a purple tank?

 

[shelaghfishface]

The image came from azure-gardencentre but ia m not sure if they still have the same deal on. If you shop around you can find some great bargains and i am pretty sure you haggle either a good price or some nice extras thrown in.

Nice deal on a black one.

This one has free shipping (but no heater either)
