No, I have a feeling I'm just starting over with the cycle. So starting over. Ammonia - 0 Nitrites - 0 Nitrates - 0 pH - 7.4

Background: I set up a 10 gallon tank about 3 weeks ago, added plants. After about a week, I got a betta (fish-in cycle). I used Tank Buster which is a product like Quick Start that is produced by my LFS. I tested my water parameters nightly for about a week and there was no change (0...

LOL, I almost feel like I should feel bad about you guys wanting to get bettas again...

Yep! I'd never seen them before - normally my LFS just has crown & veils.

Hehehe, thanks. :)

When I moved into a place of my own, my brother gifted me with a white cloud minnow and another tiny fish in about a 0.5 gallon container saying that they'd be fine in it. Me being me, I did the research and went from that to a 20 gallon planted aquarium, to adding a 90 gallon aquarium with a...

I made the mistake of going to Petland with my 3yo in tow. I went to see what they had for plants there since it's a lot closer than my normal LFS and my daughter saw a betta and wouldn't leave until we bought it. So no plants for me.. but, hey..finally have a fish in my tank.... Ignore the...

I have completely lost faith in my LFS. I returned the 24" lighting and talked to the guy that does the planted tank seminars there about LED lighting and he suggested the 18-24" fluval eco light. (I've decided these guys must get some awesome kickback from them since they sell a lot of fluval...

Thank you :)

I've seen a lot of mixed comments on LEDs, but I like the energy use reduction, that's for sure. So will hubby with the electricity bill ;)

I'll see if it'll work with one. If not, I'll probably return it and get a 20" so it fits properly on the aquarium (which I'm actually thinking I might do anyways as I have a 3yo kiddo). If I do decide to return it, I might have to figure out if I want to do a T light or LED.

That was what I was worried about (the ballast was on for 1/2 price, so I got sucked in).

I was here before, but not an active poster (obv by my post count). Previously I had several tanks.. by the end of it, I had 4. From a 90gal oscar tank to my little 2-3 gallon hex tank. Now I'm getting back into it... and am amazed that I have forgotten SO MUCH. The basics I know.. but many...

I totally posted to the wrong forum here. But hey, while I'm here...I have some questions!!! I have basically forgotten 90% of everything in the last 10 years. I am starting over with a 10 gallon tank and went to my (usually fantastic) LFS.. and I know I overbought. So I'm debating now...

i really wish i could get US pricing.. cheapest i can find it other than ebay (ie, real retailer) is $430 for the Aquapod, minus shipping. Not available locally unfortunately. And if i ship from the US, i'll get hit with duty & gst which brings it to roughly the same amount. You have no idea...
