Hi folks,
I would like to start a whole new tank with a new aro from beginning.
I've plan to purchase:
- 4ft x 2ft x 2ft tank - Filter - Heater - thermometer - Oxygen pump
Hope all sifus able to answer my questions:
Do I need circulator for aeration? Do I need a larger tank for long run? I think to get Golden Xback or super red
What is full bacterial/Ammonia cycle for a tank?
btwn, what is PLJ?
Sorry i'm a bit noob here.

Add some beneficial bacterial for speedup the cycle process. I think that about it. PLJ = Protruding Lower Jaw Usually is due to genetic or not enough feeding. Hope above help. Good Luck!

Sump Tank is ready made and is located below the main tank. You need a water pump in the sump tank to pump up the water back to the main tank. Bio media is place in the Sump Tank for breeding beneficial bacterial. Tanning light best to place inside the tank. Tanning light inside? waterproof?

The tanning light will have a different plug that is summersible under the water right? For ar g2, Do you know the price range? Thanks
