I've made ALL the mistakes!

[Homedog98]

I'm going now to look at it! I'll let you know! TTYL!

Kk! Write down the brands and models please!!!

 

[Territoons]

wow! SO MUCH STUFF! I am exhausted just taking it out of my car to my back yard and sorting it out! AMAZING. tomorrow I'll take an inventory with makes and models and maybe pix. there are at least 6 air pumps , 2 heaters, and 25 or 30 huge plastic plants and 10 or more large decorative rocks...UN BELIEVABLE! And FREE! I'll give you more specifics tomorrow...but suffice it to say my fish are all lined up looking out of the side of their 10 gallon tank, grinning and wiggling their fins in excitement!!! The tank is a 55 gallon...and I have to build a stand for it. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tonight I am sleeping, dreaming of bubbling waters and scrubbing the tank out tomorrow. (It is a mess)

Will you be around tomorrow? I hope.

All you have to do is stop using it it's not that hard to get out thankfully. Lol. Just stop using it, and you can get it out via your weekly 50% PWC's. and territoons... Does this tank come with a filter?

 

[Territoons]

it looks like it has several filters, or parts and pieces of them, and a lot of filter material of assorted shapes and sizes. I'll let you know exactly what I have as soon as I figure it out. I have to run an errand this morning, and then I am going to start playing with my new toys!

Cool! If you don't already have it, you need vinegar for tank cleaning!

 

[Territoons]

oh! Good idea! I have some, but probably not enough. This tank is a MESS! I am building an aquarium stand in my brain, now I just have to convince my husband to help me build it!

Lol, that's cool. the usual vinegar measurement is one part vinegar to 2 parts water I think. Using pure vinegar may or may not be a good idea, but it could work if there's rough spots.
