I'm new and have a question...or two

[MikeP]

Thanks for the tips, I had the same thoughts about whatever purchases I make being suitable for my 55gal. I'm sure thats where things are headed in the long run. I still need to know what to use as filter media. There is a posibility I could get a fluval 304 from my dad that he doesn't need anymore. I will post my questions about filters in the equiptment forum as well.

Thanks again.
