Cool Beans, that worked. I left the window unit on low at 76 degrees. Turned a fan on, raised the glass lids and went to work. came home and tank was at 79-80. so I lowered the heater to 77-78, tomarrow I will see if I can keep my buddies at a comfy temp. Thanks all for input.

No I have a 48 inch light that takes two 24 inch bulbs. I bought them and put them in. no different than buying bulbs at lfs. sorry for the misleading, I got the bulbs at home depot. not new lights. ( bucks for both of them.) same bulbs at lfs they want 3 times as much.

all I use is fertilizer tabs every other month. One thing with heavily planted tanks, got to watch the water changes. That removes the co2, and gives way to algea. I do not use co2 cannisters. I lightly gravel vac only, no deep gravel vacs, poo helps the plants grow. I just down loaded photoes...

I have 55 gallon heavilly planted. I have low light, 2 20 watt 6500 t12, I got at home depot. Both bulbs for 9 bucks. My plants are doing great. and I have low to medium light plants. Most medium light plants will grow in low light, if they have reds or other colors they will just turn green...

They should be liable, for a short while at least. There are alot of diseases you cant see,even to the most trained eye. The agreement when a customer buys any pet is, it is a healthy pet. be those standards noone should be liable for anything they sell, cars,homes dogs cats or fish...

Here's the deal. I am battling ich in a 55 gallon tank. I have had tanks in the past, like 20 years ago. I have always done the drip method and just put them in the tank. never had a problem. Until now. Most fish stores only give a 48 hour warranty on fish. Petsmart gives 14 days. IF, we are to...

Just an update. The fish are LOOKING better. less spots on the fish. Maybe ich attack is actually working. we'll see.
