Description: I have a 45 gallon hexagon tank. The fiters I use an Aquaclear 50 so i have a filter with many stages, and a Cascade 300 with a spreader bar, to keep the tank calm yet still circulate water to the bottom. I have two heaters rated for a 25 gallon tank, but that is just because i do not have enough money for a larger one.
Advice: More gallons, more fish.
Fish Kept: In the tank currently is a Fire Eel, Peacock Eel, 2 African Dwarf Frogs, and an assortment of guppies.
Corals/Plants: An array of Amazon swords at the back,A few java ferns on the right (that the eels always dig up), and some small tree like plants at the front
Tank Size: 45 gallons
