Description:
Well, I have 3 tanks...a 90 gallon, a 55 gallon, and a 30 gallon Hexagon. My 90 is my favorite, and its made to look more like what the bottom of a sand lake looks like. I use two EMporor 400 filters, for perfect filtration. I also use only bottled water from Poland SPring in all 3 of my tanks. I get 7 5-Gallon bottles delivered every month due to evaporation. Many people ask if the Poland Spring is nessasary? Well, in 12 months, I have never had to clean or empty or change any water in any tank.
Advice:
If you are in NY like me, dont use tap water. And, always use clams and snails to help keep your water crystal clear. They filter alot of teh bad stuff in the water. ALso keep a hearty number of Cory Cats for the bottom, as well as Cat FIsh, ALge Eaters, and Plecos.
