I have a vet friend who told me to never set up a big (bigger than 10-20 gallon) tank. She kept telling me how hard it was to clean, what trouble... clearly she treats cats and dogs (haha). My tank is very clean. She was shocked.
The canister filter and the python - two must haves! Oh and the turtle! Good luck and have fun shopping.
BWAHAHA!!!!!
Guest: "WOW! What a BEAUTIFUL aquarium! What do you have in there?"
Owner: "Water."
Hahhaha it would be very nice water! Iv actually had someone ask me what was in my aquarium, I was like, well its a turtle, and I pointed to Rossco swimming around in the tank. The guy was feeling pretty stupid.
Bulldog- Thanks for that thought, there are some really well priced ones on ebay for sure! And most sellers ship to canada for about $60
Gremlin and Mat- I agree with you guys for sure. Filter comes first and then tank.
Chris and Octpusgirl- Thank you for your input
The xp3 is a pretty nice option too
Mat- I was thinking about 2 filters too (up to 100 gallons each) but then saw that the FX5 can do up to 400 gallons and I can probably get it for about the same price as the 2 100 gallon filters if I were to buy the FX5 on ebay.
Lol I think iv swung towards the fx5
