Aqueon 75 gal tank
Smartfarm G5 light x2
Fluval fx4 canister filter
Fluval E300
Eheim jager
i think that’s all the important equipment. I bought the Eheim as a backup to the Fluval in case it went out … but then i realized my tanks left side was 82 degrees and the right side was about 73. Even with good circulation. So I set up the backup Eheim on the right side with more circulation. Anyways total new guy. Tried my best to do the most research I could. Cycle log below:
