Got my 56 cube!

Yay! It fits perfectly where I wanted it. Didn't rinse the moon sand enough. Not sure what to do about that. Only running a fluval c4 until I decide which canister to get, so it will take longer to clear I guess.

That looks awesome! Have you looked into any of the eheim classic canister filters yet?

 

[Betta Platy Addict]

I am so overwhelmed by canisters. Just need to find the easiest to clean one I think...

Looks good. Stocking plans?

Moving over my 3 neons, two cories and two female platy's to start. Then add endlers after QT. Then I'll complete the neon and Cory schools. Then more platy girls I think. I'm a beginner and just upgrading from my 20g because I love fish keeping so much as it turned out!

That's pretty smart. Looks good. I upgrade my 25 to a 45 becuse I felt they needed more room. Are you going to plant it?

 

[Betta Platy Addict]

Thanks! Yes will plant it. Probably some artificial too, because they are less messy and no maintenance. And the ones I have look pretty real!

Just make sure no one slams that door open! It does look nice in that spot though.

Holy moly! The knob would hit it right on the corner...ruhroh.

You could put in one of those door stoppers that attach to the floor. Shouldn't be too hard to install on hardwood.

Could put a door stopper before it hits it

Thank you SO much for pointing that out. I will install one FOR SURE! Until then I put something there to block it

No problem! It would really suck to break a nice new tank like that just because someone opened a door too far. People always talk about not placing tanks too close to windows because of algae... I think "away from doorknobs" is a bit more important!
