I got a great deal on a Fluval fx6 and bought it before I even got my tank. Ended up buying an 80 gallon rimless glass tank. The more videos I watch and thread I read..... thinking a sump is the way I should have went. I’m in no hurry as I want to custom build a stand. Will start that project soon and in the meantime will be learning more.
I’m not enthused about a bare bottom tank, however that’s probably the best for a beginner like myself. As a beginner, I’m looking at 7-9, to start and a few bottom feeding Cory Dora and most like some tetras.
I live near Houston, Texas and I am on well water. Nothing added to it, straight from the ground. I will have my water tested out of the tap, in case I need to do something about it.
What I have learned..... lots of water changes...lol and purchase from a good supplier.
I look forward to learning more from y’all.
