Hello y'all
I am thinking about setting up a 40-60 gal aquarium with some cichlids and putting some live plants there, not much, just to see if they survive wit all the digging going on. I have heard somewhere that it is beneficial at some point to get an UGH for plants to create a vertical current, I would still put in a second 100w heater as back up; would this set up be ok or should I just forget about UGH and just put a couple of 100w heaters?
Follow up question to that - any thoughts on going out and picking up a complete package in a box from a fish store or actually setting everything up individually?
Thanx for any suggestions.
PS It is going to by my first and a half tank, I currently have a 2gal with 2 common gold fish and 2 snails, I am planning to cycle with them when I get everything together, so any good advice about cichlids is much appreciated.
