Hello R2R community.
I recently bought a SW setup off Craigslist, and am working on getting the tank populated. I am trying to plan ahead, and get a good idea of what I want to get, so that I can be prepared, and avoid some unfortunate surprises. I am hoping I can propose what I would like to get, and get some feedback on whether I am being reasonable, need to make a few tweaks, or if I just need a slap on the back of the head. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help me! I appreciate all of the knowledge and expertise on this site!
