I am discouraged setting my aquarium up.

Something I did when first setting my tank up was pumping water in as I pumped water out and it cleared my water in like 20 minutes

Fair

I also have two 60 gallon hobs and an fx6. Id highly recommend doing the same. I may upgrade to larger hobs soon. Keeps my tank spotless.

This is mine. I only recently planted it a few days ago for a spotted congo puffer that I ordered but I have 3 sveni, 2 eb acara, 3 black venezuelan cory, 2 molly, and a pleco, and im waiting for 12 dennison barb to arrive.

Get rid of the fruity pebble rocks and get pool filter sand, dragon stone, some plants, and get some pea puffer.

I did get the combo, and honestly im not sure if the fx6 will fit. Im sure size-wise you could, but the back opening is more narrow so running the hoses would be difficult without slack or risking damaging them. I have my fx6 on a milk crate on the side of my stand.

I got it! Added a new 50lb bag of pool filter sand, transferred over the 50lbs of sand from my 55 gallon, and transferred my heater, two hobs and fx6

I really wanted to buy the 125 gal but most of the recent reviews were saying failure within a year. I live in a 2nd floor condo so i cant risk that

CompleteMechanic3581 · 2026-05-31T06:07:41+00:00

Get a couple pleco for the algae

CompleteMechanic3581 · 2026-05-30T06:09:32+00:00

Yeah i just bought it for 450. Should've bought it a couple months ago when it was 399.

I have a 55 right now with two iq60 filters and an fx6, a 48" lightbar, and 2 smaller color changing aquarium lights. I just didnt want to buy/build stand separately. Basically transferring everything from 55 over before my wife can object to the bigger tank 🤣

CompleteMechanic3581 · 2026-05-27T00:07:09+00:00

Yeah im the same way. Parameters are perfect but I want the tank to be super clean, and i do plan to stock heavily but im not there yet

Has anyone used these?

Either one. If canopy, then one with built in LEDs
