I've always kept tropical fish, but haven't set up a tank in a few years (and even then it was with old equipment), so I'm assuming I'm way out of date with current set ups.
So, 253L tank (6'Wx12"Lx18"H), I'm going to get the fluval 306 external filter.
What lighting would be best? This is probably where I'm most ignorant.
And for such a long tank, what kind of heater should I be using?
I don't want to spend a fortune, but I'd rather spend a bit more now and save in the long run, so the more energy-saving the better :)
And that's before I get on to the subject of which fish? I'm a big fan of large shoals of small fish (love zebra danios, cardinal tetras, that sort of think).
Any suggestions on stock also very welcome.
