Hi
I'm a newbie here and I have agreed to purchase the following:
A second hand Juwel Rio 180 Aquarium
1x Eheim External Filter
1x Eheim Internal Filter
2x 300watt Heaters
1x Aeration Pump
Cichlid
1x Yellow Caeruleus small
1x Blue Malawi medium
1x Brown/yellow Malawi medium
1x Yellow Severum (Large Male)
Non-Cichlid
1x Siamease Catfish
1x Synodontis (5-6 in)
All of the above is the setup of the present owner. I am due to pick it up tonight and he is giving me the fish as well for free.
My main concern is cycling this correctly.
Do any of you have any hints or tips as to the best way to transport and set up the tank at my house. (It's about half an hours drive away).
I'm reading the newbie stuff but I don't want to miss anything obvious and I haven't seen much about setting up a second hand tank with the fish included.
Also are there any particular issues to be concerned about the fish included?
Thanks
David
