My New Setup - Jhansolo Options

[jhansolo]

Finally ... I managed to talk to my wife and convince her that this little hobby of mine will further enhance our family life. I got the approval for a 24 x 12 x 12 - 14(H).

Anyone in Hougang aera can help to seed a new canister for me for a week.
I'm thinking of getting eheim ecco 2231.

Cheers

If you have not bought the ECCO, don't.

I have read nothing but poor reviews on it. Supposingly the self-priming handle doesn't work well.

It does come complete with sponge media, which matures quickly. Meanwhile like ET said, better cycle yourself with some cheap and healthy fishes.

The 221x series is better... but more difficult to prime. It has a better re-sale value becoz more pple like that series.

Heck... just use 2 sponge filter and skip the canister entirely.

Also, if you have approval for a 2 feet tank, go with one with a 18 inches depth and keep the height at 12 inches (if you can find such a tank). It's better to keep goldfish in shallow water.

Oh yeah, don't forget to paste black or white omaya paper and shoot lots of pics to show us your fishes! Forget those pinkist aqaurium lamp too; get a daylight PL lamp for those numerious studio shots you will be taking.
