Hi Scott

The tank came with HOB whisper10 power filter. Woodstock recommends the AquaClear filters because their media chambers are much larger than the Whispers. There is not much room in whisper media chamber. the small (1" x 1 1/2") sponge i bought just fits in it and i could add a second one but there would be no or very little water movement. So I am going to get a Aquaclear HOB.

I like the idea of using LR rubble but then if i do have to medicate I will not be able to use that rubble any more. If it wasnt for that You could just put some LR in the QT.

I am going to get the Aquaclear filter this weekend and I will get the sponge in my sump to seed it. Then after x-mas I will set up the tank and cycle it using ammonia and fish food as Woodstock and Leebca suggests.m
I'll be ready for my first fish in January.

So far here is my fishy list (Gutter guard first!)
Longnose Hawkfish
flasher/fairy wrasse (of some sort - Scotts & Exquisite topping the list!?!)
Rainsford Goby
Midas Blenny
Just added - Citron Goby
