I see you have 2 filters.....I am new to this whole fish tank thing, and I was wondering why you would have 2 filters like that? Is it because of the size of the tank.

Thank you
Welcome aboard.:wave:

This will help the handling of bioload the tank has. In a tank that has several fish, you will need more than just a filter to accommodate the bioload.:) Overfiltration is often necessary in overstocked tanks.:)

Well i am not exactly sure why mike put 2 filters on there but he did, its not really overstocked. But better safe then sorry i guess :D

Is there any one who can tell what plants i have in there by the pic? i always forget names of thing when we first get them (well names of plants rather than fish). But if anyone can list them i would appreciate it. If you need better pics of things just let me know. Thanks!!
