Thanks for the reply ^_^. Good to know nothings wrong, being my first tank I find my newest habit is second guessing everything LOL. :thanks:

Hello everyone, I know the time between ammo to nitrite to nitrate can easily take a few days or more before they start to show up on the tests. Once they start to change over though should the levels keep rising regularly(ammo - nitrite and nitrite - nitrate) or can that take time too. 04/13...

Thank you thank you ^_^. Didn't know about adjusters so at least if it looks to be too much I have a way to fix it without buying a different pump :D

Hello, Looking into ordering one of their "active" filters to assist my cycle along. I understand the general idea of the filter and how to set it up but my question is what size air pump to get? The nearest size I can find locally is for a 40G tank(mine is 36G). Would this be to much...

Oh theres an idea, never crossed my mind to use 2 smaller heaters think i'll go with that idea ^_^ :thanks:Thanks for all the replies:thanks:

I thought so too, because it showed a "water line" on the heater when I checked it out. I actually contacted Fluval to check though and they state the M series is fully submersible(couldn't help me with my question on if it would be to much for my tank though lol).

Thanks for the reply Blert ^_^

Ditto for the calculator bookmarked that right away. Thanks to jlk for posting the link and LibraryGirl for finding it ^_^

Here I am again with more questions for you lovely peoples!(tired of me yet? :brows:) First is heater related question. I was looking into a new heater for my 36G because the one that came with it was only a 50watt heater. I was thinking of a Fluval Submersible(sp?) 200watt as the room the...

Thanks for the replies. No guess as to how many school fish to add at a time? Just don't want to overload my cycle once I get it established lol. No breeding sounds like a good thing for the nerite snails, but none of my LFS carry them >_< gonna have to hope the one mystery snail doesn't...

Hello Everyone ^_^, First this isn't a "help me pick my fish" thread lol, I would just like to hear everyone's opinion on my picks as this will be my first tank( just started fishless cycle so it'll still be awhile hehe). 36G tank - 6 Zebra Danio(for some reason I really like these even if...

Thanks everyone for the replies, it's clear I made the right decision joining this forum ^_^

Hello! So the only thing I've actually gotten so far is the tank(36G bowfront if it matters?) and stand, but i've been researching the other bits and pieces I will need. During the research i've developed a few questions that i'm hoping to get answers to ^_^. My main questions are below, but I...

Hello everyone, Came across this forum while at work(still at work... I know im a bad boy). I've recently(well not really been wanting to start one for a long while) started my venture into a freshwater aquarium and i'm trying to learn as much as I can before actually starting. Hoping by...
