Hello,
New to the forum but not new to African Cichlids. I wwould consider myself a novice. I currently have a 45 gallon Marineland tank but want to upgrade to a 75 to give my 6 fish a bit more room. I am having a hard time deciding on a filter for the tank but leaning towards a OASE BioMaster Thermo with built in heater. My questions are:
1) Does anyone have experience with these filters, the Oase Biomaster? I have heard good stuff. I have always have had Fluval filter's (U4s) so this will be my first canister. My other options would be a FX4, but like the idea of having the heater built into the filter and the abilty to remove the pre-filter with opening the lid of the canister every time, the OASE has both these options but open to suggestions
2) Is the 300 watt heater that comes with the Oase 600 enough wattage to heat a 75 gallon tank?
3) I want to go will an all glass tank and looking at the Marineland 75 HD with stand for $399. Good choice?? I currently have the ML 45 gallon HD and its super-clear and the black silicone hides any algae vs. clear silicone. I am very happy with the ML 45, but as always, I am open to suggestions.
Thanks for any responses.
