Well... :lol: At least you're giving yourself the rolly eyes this time.



We're doing it, we're finally doing it.

Any suggestions for filtration?

Use it? Um... I think it depends on how you're going to stock, but I think you might be able to get away with using H.O.T. box filtration. Or a canister. U/G only might be a little weak, depending on how dirty they are and all that. I had moved away from setting up U/G filtration in favor of power filtration long ago, just prefer the maintenance of a tank sans U/G.

I gave up trying to find the camera and bought a new one today. It is one of the first pictures I took to try out the camera, and I haven't read the instructions, so forgive me ...
