Well, to be honest, I'm not sure WHAT direction to take. Given what I've read here tonight it's not as easy as 'setting one up' on a weekend.
What's a good starter size? 150 gallon? Maybe I should just get goldfish, but we kind of wanted a 'showpiece' you know? Something to really admire...
My son and I are going to setup a tank this weekend. I have not had one since I was a kid and my Dad did most of the setup.
My question is, I don't know whether to use 'live' plants or not. Plastic seems fine to me but the wife says it's healthier for the fish if I use real ones. How can this...
