Okay - I've now got a 55 gallon tank. Geez, that was overkill. From a 12 to a 55. Yikes. How much energy do these aquarium heaters use? Or the filters? Mine pumps through something like 180 gallons an hour.
I've got one lonely goldfish in this giant empty tank. He (it) went from a bowl (seriously, a bow) where we were trying to grow snails. To a bucket (I felt bad about the bowl) to a 55 gallon tank.
Going to move the puffers from the 12 to the 55 in probably a month? Have to cycle the new tank. I dumped my snails and the one golfish in th 55 for now. Any suggestion as to what else I should put in there for now? I want to get a TON of snails growing for the puffers. I'll move them to the 12 gallon puffer tank when I swap them to the 55. Then I'll have a snail tank to grow snails to feed the puffers in the big tank.... Geez, what have I gotten myself into.
Anything I can do with the water that I take out of the tank when I clean? I heard it was good for growing plants? I don't want to waste it.
