I've never made one before. Have to do more reading, including the recent post on here. Watch some videos too.
To start, I was hoping for guidance.
If my 55 gallon is currently on the floor, is the option of a sump even going to be possible? I was thinking it could sit right next to the tank for now until/if I put the tank on a stand. Since it'll be lower than my tank, there should be enough water flow... I'm hoping.
Can you please recommend a guide to specs? As to what size aquarium I should use, pump GPM, etc.
Right how I have an AC 70 with Poret on the tank, but it's not handling the bioload well enough. I don't usually stock so heavily and am having to do more water changes than I can keep up with.
It's got two Guianacara stergiosi adults, about five of their fry growing out, several serpae tetras, and two Ancistrus.
It's planted, but not heavily.
Am kind of nervous about this going south.
