The filtration is fine but your tank is over stocked even if they are
babies.I would seriously consider trading in everthing but the firemouth and
getting some more firemouths.

Hi,

I am new to the group. I have been keeping fish for years, but just now
thought it would be nice to chat with others who do as well.

My main tank right now is a 29g, Penguin 330 and Aquaclear 300 filtration,
Ebo-Jager heater, natural gravel, big piece of driftwood, few plastic
plants.

Inhabitants: 1 Red Tiger Oscar, 1 Firemouth cichlid, 1 4-lined pictus cat
1
Pl*co, and 1 Channel cat.

My questions are many.

I always strive for great filtration. What do you think of my setup as
well as filtration. I have never used a canister filter. I like the
setup
I have with the aquaclear and the penguin with the bio wheels. I use ammo
carb in a bag in the aqua clear and ammo carb and replaceable filter
pieces
for the Penguin. The water is very clear, but I always feel it can be
clearer. I am I guess somewhat obsessed like that.

I also have a 10g in the bedroom that is overstocked but doing fine. It
contains common variety tropicals like tetras, barbs, cats, etc. It is
doing fine for over a year now with little maintenance. I couldn't
imagine
not having a tank in the bedroom.

Well, just wanted to share. I also would like criticism and advice on my
setup and how I could improve it with the least cost (obviously). I was
thinking of adding a cannister filter to the 29g as additional filtration,
but let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Viper
