Against the card. White part

Good to know. Luckily mine rusted out. Hahaha now I'm running a knock off marineland double bright led system.

How? They have reflectors behind the bulbs.

Well the lights are fluorescent and 10watts each so you are putting 2wpg so I think plants in the low to medium should be fine. Just a warning though, I had them on my 10 gallon and condensation rusted everything inside the hood ad eventually blew the lights out. After like 6 months.

Sorry to jack your thread but I found this snail in my tank about 8 months ago(he was small back then so i let him live) and now I got about 15 little ones plus this big one and probably many more. I just like to know if its a pond snail too, it looks very similar to the OP's pictures but I...

Theres a sticky on the getting started page where u can fin info on how to do a fish less cycle.

Yeah I guess it all depends on many factors. I remember when I was a kid I had 20 long that my dad stocked and I never remember him doing the nitrogen cycle. And all the fish survived. But with my 10 gallon It took a little less than 3 months to cycle. And in the process I lost 1 Molly, 5 otos...

If I were you I would do a fish less cycle. Fish in is a pita!! If I had to cycle my tank again I would do a fish less.

Not that I know of. But I don't think is needed all you gotta do is keep testing and doing water changes daily if you have to in order to keep everything under control. And with time all of your readings should be zeros. Good luck!

I know that, thats why they are sitting in water and since I can't afford to get them sandblasted, I'm going to scrub them with a wire brush every other day. Btw they are manzanita branches. I got a ton hahaha

I know it's kinda hard to tell. At first I was conviced that it's in fact manzanita because they came off a flower arrangement of a wedding. But I started googling pics and they are not the same. Mind you this look like fresh branches and the ones I saw where almost white! I'm going to wait for...

Are this manzanita branches? I found a few but I want to make sure that they are real manzanita and not something else that can hurt my tank. Thanks people!!

Nerite snails are the way to go.
