Hey everyone. Was about to start a new tank setup that consisted of: 4 55g, as well as 2 29s (220+58=278) and just had a few questions.
First, what size of a air pump should I get? What kind of LPM am I going to need to supply an air hose to each of my Hydro Sponge V filters in each tank(6 of them total).
I'll be running AC 70s on the 55s, as I felt that 110s would be overkill. Also a 200W subermersible in each 55. All tanks are bare-bottom.
Second, can anyone find a better price for the AC 110 then 32.99, and 22.99 for the AC 70?
I was also thinking about a pump to use for automatic water changes (I've already planned out a system). How large of a pump do I need to buy (GPH)?
Finally, I was going to paint the back and sides of my tanks. I've noticed most people use either white or a light blue color. Is there any particular reason? Would a darker blue be suitable also? :confused:
Thanks for the help.
