Hopefully by the time they're that big, we'll have a second, bigger tank. By the way, how long do they take to grow up?

Newbie here obviously, posted my intro in the beginners corner, obviously where I belong :oops:

Hello, me and my girl had planned to get an aquarium up and running for ages, slowly collecting everything we need and have just recently gotten everything setup. We have found the information in the forum really useful and it has given us heaps of ideas for us to continue on with our new hobby!! Our tank has been up and running for about a month now and unfortunately it hasnt been completely smooth sailing although now all of our fish seem to be happy :bounce: The tank: 1200 Long 450 Deep 450 High CP700 AquaOne Filter AquaOne 1220mm dual lights thing :-? 300Watt Jebo heater (cheap but it works ) 16 x Neons 3 x Silver Sharks 2 x Golden Gouramis 2 x Red Honey Dwarf Gouramis 1 x Red Spotted Pleco 1 x White Spotted Pleco 1 x Bristlenose 1 x Zebra Loach We spend hours watching our tank, completely mesmerized with their activities and are totally hooked!! We hope to one day contribute something useful to the forums but for now, will stick with asking questions

I know this topic is a little old by now but here is a link to a bit of hardware that will take the guess work out of calculating the power consumpsion of their tanks... http://www.jaycar.co.nz/productView.asp ... &SUBCATID=
