I would suggest waiting a few more months, letting your tank age and continue colonizing good bacteria. My 29 gallon has given me issues with water parameter consistency since I set it up 6 weeks ago and stocked about as much as you. Everybody's tank is different though. Maybe get the bottom...

I have read stuff like this before. The Penn Plax Cascade 1500 does 350 gph and 75*5 is 375. I think that's probably close enough. Heck, I will add a sponge filter somewhere if need be

This was an incredible response! Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me and in such good detail. I ended up with a Penn Plax Cascade 1500 canister filter for my filter. I am thinking about doing a 1:1:1 blend of fine gravel, medium-grain sand, and aquasoil because of the short-term...
