They make those digital led fish tanks for people like the original poster.

LED 22 white/2 blue, .11 watts per led, 2.42 total watts, 460 lux, 165 total lumens. The light that comes with the generic 10g starter bio wheel marineland tank. Black sand in the tank. Thanks.

That sounds about right but my smell is new and tank has been up for 3 months. Is it possible I have too much prime lol.

It's an aquaclear 30 and there are no bubblers . Just a power head . I think it just got gunked up I cleaned everything out and it's working fine. I had a bunch of cheap filters that kept stopping which is why I bought this one. My tank hood doesn't allow room for another filter or I'd add...

I think my tank finally cycled but now I have some odor. I added a piece of ceramic wood which I rinsed in old tank water and let it set for awhile before adding to tank. I noticed the smell the next morning. Been doing 50 % wc every 2 days. Filter was clogged but running when u came home...

I may mess around with decor at some point but I got home from work and my tank smelled really bad and the filter wasn't working for some reason. I do a minimum of 50% wc every 2 days. Just did a 70% one ill monitor the filter. What causes them to stop or clog I guess. It use to happen when...

I assume you weren't referring to you switching yours the sky blue does look nice.

I put a piece of dark black window tinting stuff on there it may or may not come off easily I do agree there is too much black I think maybe switching to white or pool filter sand might help some. Or some plants

Well it's not as bare as mine so if say it's not bare at all but I'm a newbie so maybe my tank is just extremely barren.

I think I do to you can see in the photo all 5 tetras hang out together and the 4 Cory cats all group up. The cories use to hide behind the stones and never come out

I have one of those hydor pumps is that sufficient or do I still need the air stone

Old New Is the new decor more ideal for Cory and tetras? It's all fake stuff. I keep reading that Cory prefer planted tank and once I can get things stable I may attempt some plants. Any advice on keeping my fish thriving environmentally speaking

Ammonia has leveled off at the light green tint use to struggle with higher levels there. Nitrite levels have come down as well. And presence of nitrate obviously showed up at some point where as early tests had none. Tap tests 0 ammonia pretty sure the other 2 numbers wouldn't show up in tap...

Yea my tree stump should be here next week I have removed half the stones already but want the Cory's to have some hiding spots and not just an open tank. I have no plants besides some fake ones. I've heard plants can be frustrating and I'm already got my hands full with the cycling. But if...

Not sure about overfeeding the food is gone after a couple mins. I have to make the cories come out since the tetras pluck the food off the bottom. I did some algae wafers today but took them out after awhile as suggested
