something I havent seen anyone recommend are a school of Danios. very hardy and you could get glofish so you have one of every color (red, green, blue, purple and orange) and one zebra to get a school of 6. My kid loves them. I would personally also add some cory catfish, 2-3 guppies and...

yes, the tetra is one of the few that have bacteria in them that seem to have a very positive review on most aquarium sites (and amazon). I got it at my local fish store and dug all the way in the back and found one that doesnt expire until 9/2012 so its a newer bottle too.

maybe its only the newer ones like the one I got, but each of the bottles have a picture of a little water drop with a number inside of it that tells you how many to use.

I just wanted to thank everybody for recommending the API master test kit. it seems a little pricey buy its definitly awsome and better then the strips i used as a kid. plus I feel like a chemist when using them. my wife looks at me like I'm some sort of super scientist when I busted out the...

My ace hardware doesnt carry the ammonia everyone loves so I currently have some nice uncooked shrimp sitting in a little bowl in my tank preparing to rot. my initial baseline showed ammonia between 0.0 an .25 nitrites at 0.0 nitrates at 0.0 and Ph at 7.5 which all seems pretty standard for...

final post here is the wall withthe stones and substrate in place heres the whole tank with the driftwood in place (being weighed down by rocks) and lastly and sadly really cloudy so hard to see, is the completed tank with plants and light etc. now the cycling begins!

The Build I started by sticking all the rocks and driftwood into my dishwasher on friday night and ran them through on the hottest/longest setting twice. With the tank, I started by laying the lighting eggshell stuff on the bottem on my tank to prevent rocks from cracking or scratching the...

So I started my FIRST tank this weekend and I'll give the exciting details for everyone to read. lets start with all the expensive equipment. thats my: - 2 bags of gravel - bag of plant specific substrate - 1 bag of large and 1 bag of small stacking stones (for my wall) - seachem prime -...

they were Zoo med branded, and I have just checked, they say they are compatible with both reptile and aquarium (even if they have a big snake picture on them)

there were definitly a lot of pieces there that didnt look aqarium friendly, but they had a few nice pieces of Malaysian Driftwood that I grabbed.

Just got back from my LFS picking up goodies for my first tank. I was looking for River rocks and some driftwood. Young girl in fish said they didn't have any. walking around the store I found BOTH in the reptile section. and a pretty large selection at that! so keep your eyes peeled...

Time for Newbie question #2 today. I have a feeling this one may get me a few different opinions how many plants can you get away with in a 30 gallon tank before you need to worry about a co2 system? I'm considereing about 3-4 small clums of one of the dwarf grasses, a java fern and a...

good to know, thanks guys! I'll grab it tonight

I am finally purchasing the equpment for my new 30 Gal aquarium and I have what may seem like a stupid question but I just want to be sure. my LFS has the penguin Bio Wheel filters, and the 200 model (rated for 50 gal tanks) on sale for the same price as the 150 model (rated for 30 gallon)...
