Braceless 150g (72x18x29) glass tanks are *H E A V Y*
I'm not sure what felt heavier... Taking it out of one basement with
three people.... or putting it into the new one with only two!
Received a full setup (minus a full hood), including an 8" F1
Managuense, for the amazing low price of free.
My biggest issue? Heating. We normally don't keep the house above the
mid 60's, so I may have to use a bit more wattage than normal. 300w
would only get it to about 75, whereas the Buttikoferi in the tank now
likes it best around 80-82.
Since I have to buy more filtration soon anyways, how well do the
in-filter heaters work? At the moment, I'm using the Whisper 60 from
the Buttikoferi's old tank to help flash cycle along with a new Penguin
350. The managuense gets to keep his prehistoric Aquaclear 1000,
although I do plan on adding a biowheel at some point as well.
