I dig your story.. Enjoy your tank.. :band:

Cool, just keep an eye on your water parameters.:thumb:

Cory Cats would be good. Some type of Fancy Guppies. :fish2::fish1:

Stressed...:cool::fish2:

I have considered it. But I somehow got maxed out buying local..:fish1::dance:

I don't know Jeremy Kyle, but he sounds like a great guy. Introduce him to us.:popcorn:

Brad, What I know about plants? Bath them is a salt water bath before putting them in your tank. If not you will most likely get an infestation of snails. Thats no bueno. I am dealing with that right now. :banghead: Enjoy your tank! :band:

These guys do not appear to be eating any Trumpet Snails. I watched one roll right over the top of one and did not eat it. What should I do?:banghead::hide:

But a Master Test Kit. Look at the link. https://www.chewy.com/api-freshwater-aquarium-master-test/dp/121955 Stay on top of testing the water and doing water changes. :thumb: Unless you want snails taking over your tank, bath all plants in salt water before you put them in your tank. You...

I would keep testing the parameters daily. Keep us posted..:thumb::fish2:

I would keep an eye on the parameters. As for the smell? I really don't know. Tanks have an aroma to them. Maybe someone else can steer you in the right direction. How long has your tank been re-assembled? I am curious what your tap water measures in Nitrates.

I advise you to get a Master Test Kit. It is the best way to stay on top of your water changes. Well for me it is.:hide: First thing to show up is ammonia Next is Nitrites Then finally Nitrates. Once Ammonia and Nitrites and to a minimum your tank is cycled...

I recommend an ammonia test. If it's high you may need to do a water change. The problem is, you most likely wiped out your bacteria cleaning it like you did. I would not recommend you do that to your tank. Your substrate and filter house a good portion of your bacteria. Let's start from ground...

Brad? Any new stuff to speak of?:popcorn:

Sorry I read that wrong. Do you have an Ammonia reading?

They had a proper burial. I played Taps and Amazing Grace for them. :thumb:

That 36G looks rad! I would keep peaceful fish. Guppies, Neon Tetras, Cory Cats. A lot of this stuff is trial and error. But you can learn a lot here. :fish2::dance:

My tank is cycled! :band: Top Fin Bacteria Starter seemed to speed it up. Im not sponsored at all by Top Fin. Just sharing my 10 Gallon experience. I did a 25% water change daily from 2/27/21 to 3/20/21. I lost 2 of 16 fish. Not too bad. :fish1::fish2:

I have a 10G tank too. I have 10 Neon Tetras, 3 Guppies and 2 Panda Cory Cats. They all seem fine. I lost one Guppy yesterday. As for equipment I have a Fluval Aqua Clear 30 power filter which is 150 GPH. And have a Tetra 30-60 Air Pump with an airline in both back corners of the tank with a...

I would not sweat the Ammonia. It will come down to zero soon enough. Its good you have Nitrites, your tank is cycling. But I would do water changes if you had fish. Really, I have never done a fishless cycle. :hide::band:

I was just looking at all of them. They all look solid. I don't have experience with either off those brands. I had a Fluval and it worked great, but that was years ago. I have a Fulval Aqua Clear for my 10g. It is a better build do to having media choices and no cartridge's. :fish1: Let us know...

See if this works??:hide: Edit: it worked but the pic is not very good.

Im glad about the 10 gallon.:dance: I have a 10 gallon and have a peaceful community. I have 2 live plants. And I have a pre-filter ( I never had or heard of a pre-filter till this time around) and some fish. I like it. I have a 10-30 Aqua Clear Filter as well. I will work on getting a...

I feel like you are making a smarter choice. That will give you more cash to spend on a filter and such. Have fun!:dance::fish2:
