sorry for being so late. i barely ever get on. if still needed: plecos arent nocternal they thrive on algea and to tell the truth you dont need any types of hiding type places for them. unless keeping w/really aggressive fish in whichcase i would put a few.

you would need .5 ml per gallon, so that is 1/2 teaspoon per 5 gallons, and 1/4 teaspoons per 2.5 gallons, and what kind of conditioner is it? if it is the Prime stuff i reccomended, add 2 drops per gallon, if not, then try to follow what i said above.

about the colorful thing: the fish are colorful and come in every color you can imagine red yellow orange green you name it! and you can also have corals, which are just as colorful and diverse as the fish!

do you have a thermometer? you are going to need that to know what the tank temperature is. yes the dial thing is to change the temperature. yeah, just keep it in the middle, and then adjust it. oh and you can plug it in now lol!

yeah, SW is so much more...colorful... than FW

hahahahaha. oh boy... i should start asking questions now!

lol. once you are doing good in the Freshwater par of aquariums, you can come to Saltwater!

looks like you are coming along nicely with learning all you need to know about your tank! keep it up!
