Sorry didn't think of that. Um it's just a stock good so I think just a cfl. Kinda new to the lighting department.

Well I found this one store but they have everything else too. But the reviews say its the best fish store around and there isn't anything better. but they don't have a lot of exotic types. And I would ship but like I said before its going to a dorm which means it goes through another building...

So I just got this tank and it came with the light. Just curious what all I can grow. Needs to be low maintenance but some ferts are fine. Also I love banana plants but I read they need moderate lighting. So could they work? If need be I have a desk lamp right next to the tank that I could turn...

Ya I thought about a betta but I have one at home. But if it comes down to not finding it the lfs here has some cool bettas(all black or white and one with orange) which is better then the petsmart selection at home. And I've been looking at things but it just comes down to finding them. Like...

So I just bought a five gallon for my dorm since I couldn't bring my tanks from home. I bought it used and it came with a hood and a few other things. Now I have a couple questions. One is 15 watts considered low lighting? I want to do planted but I don't want to upgrade the hood that came with...

Every now and then I take my drift wood, plants, and other decor out and vacuum the gravel really good. I don't clean anything else though so I don't disturb the bacteria. It's also a good chance to redecorate my tank. It's nice switching it up and making a new look!

Ok. Thanks. I'm just starting my search and these was for a good price on amazon. I will look into the one that you mentioned.

I'm following so I can refer to this throughout my ten gallon build. Just set it up and put water in it. I don't think you've answered this yet but is your hood a stock hood or something you bought separate? That's my last purchase and I can't decide. Your tank is beautiful by the way. It's my...

Does anyone have any experience with this light. If so would you recommend it? Also so you have any pictures. Any other light suggestions for a 55 gallon low light planted(maybe higher if light permits right now it doesn't). I'm kind of thinking of upgrading from the stock hood.

Ya. It isn't shiny. I just didn't know if the brown color was a dye added to it.

I have the red clay pots in one of my tanks but I was wondering if the brown ones could work too. I was wondering if they are painted that color or of they are fish safe. I like the look of them better. Thanks!

Same thing happened to me. I just wish someone would have warned me before I spent my money on them. I'm left with 2 and I they are just going to have to play with the neons.

Ok. My dad got me a light today but he didn't know what kind. He got the wattage your said but the kelvins are in the 6000's is this going to work?

I figured I could. I don't know much about lights. What wattage should I look for and is there anything else I should look for?

One of my light bulbs died today. I have the original lights that came with the tank. It's a 55 gallon tank and I think they are 24 in long. I was wondering what lightbulbs I could replace them with. I have a couple misc low light plants. I don't think I ever had enough light because they never...
