So, the craigslist bug bit again and I've made an impulse buy.. my new biggest tank, a 29 gallon. I mean look at all this stuff I got got 50 dollars!
(29 gallon tank, hood, 2 lights (1 1 bulb, 1 2 bulb), 2 spare bulbs, heater, hob filter & sponge filter!)
(disassembled tank stand and 5 gallon jug for water changes) (ignore the other stuff in my trunk)
Seriously. Resistance was futile.
My 20 gallon is still running, as are my little 1.5 gallons for my bettas. The 20 gallon has had some thinning out of population (random gourami death
) but is a healthy community at this point. So for this tank, I want to do some fish with personality. I don't think I want schooling. I was thinking semi-aggressive / aggressive. I'd be totally cool with doing a species tank with an algae eater or bottom feeder.. but right now this tank is a blank page. I had puffer fish suggested to me, so that's a thought. I know I'm doing a sand substrate, and I think I want to do it lightly planted. Here's the substrate I'm going to pick up later:

Thoughts on the substrate? I think I've seen other people using it.
