it's a penguin 200 w/biowheel so I do have some water turbulence. I love the picture of your full tank. How long did it take??

Thanks for getting me on the right track....do I need to worry about the fish with the CO2 or will the plants suffice for O2. Should I stop my filter and just run CO2???? Thanks for all the help....desperately needed!

I have the seachem flourish and flourish excel liquid. Can I get the name of something better? I used that stuff in my other tank (about a 30 gal too) and plants started getting brown spots. Too much fertilizer??

I have about 30% plant coverage on bottom (just planted) should I get CO2 now or wait until I notice some growth going on. Oh, about the light, I wasn't sure if it was the same as gardening, some shade some sun or full sun or shade effecting growth..

I have a 36 x 12 1/2 that's 16 1/2 in depth. I just ordered a 96 watt light. Is that too much light for low light plants or can anything grow in it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thankyou for replying! One goldfish might be big enough but why all of a sudden and 5 at once???? It seems more plausable that I would see one gone every week unless my goldfish snapped and went on a crazy feeding frenzy. There are no remnants of any killing spree anywhere? Because there is 1...

Hello, I have a 35 gal with 3 goldfish, 3 tetras, a pleco, and last night there were 6 glo fish. This morning all are gone except 1. I have had the tank set up like this for about a month and last night I put a new glo fish in there. The new one plus the rest are gone. Would the goldfish or...

I am probably going to go with medium light plants..can you give me your favorite place to purchase along with some suggestions on what plants are not too tricky to keep and look good? Thanks for your help!

Hello, I'm trying to start a planted tank and have eco complete for the substrate and am now looking for the best lighting. The tank top is 36in by 12 1/2 in and 17 in depth. Where can I buy a whole cover with lights with correct watts for plants. Thanks for your help!
