Freshwater Aquariums Options

[Supersprynt]

I am probably a couple days away from buying a small setup, 26 gallon glass bow. Still working on the equipment but are there any freshwater peoples out there? If so whats your setup like & what equipment are you using?

I have a 44G hex tank with a Asian Red Tail cat that is about 10" long and 2 pleco's, couple of oversized goldfish(would have been food), and a Freshwater Eel that is about 12-14" long and is about as big as your thumb. I also have had set up a 10G tank as a breeding tank for various fish. My wife has her 10g with mollies, pleco, tetras and such. I need to get a bigger tank because the cat and eel are starting to outgrow this one. Good luck with the fish they are a lot of fun but if you get the wrong combo there will be problems. Also the only problem with having a bigger than tank volume filter is the amount of water that is flowing, other than that I say bigger the better. I currently have a Marineland Hot Magnum 250 on the 44G tank.
I also want to add that undergravel filtration is very bad. I would only use it on a one gallon bowl or smaller. Too much stuff can collect there and ruin the bio system.
