I finally have a stand for my 20G long (whatever) tank. I plan to use it for fry or quarantine if needed. I have never had more than one tank before.
I am in the process of placing an order to equip the tank. What I possess so far is a light and a Fluval C3 for filtration. It is up and running to get the cycle done. My current plan is to acquire the following items. Tank divider, heater, Thermometer and air pump. Unfortunately, this tank can not be close to my 55G so I can't share anything including the huge freaking air pump I have on my 55G. There is not much water circulation from the C3 and I was considering getting a small power head but if I have fry in there not sure how that will work. I guess an air stone will help some.
If any of you guys have experiences with this type of tank I would be grateful for any advice or suggestions to make this tank as useful as possible. Oh - my 55g has Malawi Cichlid (Red Zebra, Yellow Labs and Acei).
