Thank you all for the responses. I think I'll look into getting some gouramis and definitely more cherry barbs.

Hello. I have a 75 gallon tank with 8 congo tetras, 6 zebra d anios, 5 panda corycats and 1 cherry barb. Would like to add more. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for the replies. They're very helpful. :)

I have a empty 10 gallon tank. I'm wanting to keep crayfish or crabs in it. I heard they eat fish so I'll keep it species only. I don't know much about them. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use Omega One.

I use to have a sand substrate but switched to gravel. I had a prefilter sponge on the intake of my filter. I didn't like the way it looked so that's the only reason I switched. I had tahitian moon sand http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=20545;category_id=2409 I liked...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I went and got a rainbow shark today. They were out of Boesmani rainbowfish at my lfs. I'll definitely get at least 1 more tiger barb too. My gravel has sharp edges so I don't think I'll be getting any corycats. Thanks again :)

I have a 30 gal. tank with 5 tiger barbs and 2 harlequin rasboras in it. I want to put more fish in but don't know what. I've had cories before and liked them. I've switched from sand to gravel though and heard gravel will irritate them. Appreciate any suggestions?

I thought I'd probably need one. I used a sponge over the intake. Thanks for the reply.

I just bought a Eheim 2213 canister filter for my 30 gal tank. I haven't set it up yet. I have a sand substrate and was wondering if I would need a prefilter for it?

Thanks a lot for the replies. I'll be sure and only use Prime for the initial cycling.

I ordered some bio-spira to cycle my tank. I bought some prime to use as my water conditioner. This website I found says I shouldn't use prime to cycle because it will remove ammonia. http://www.flippersandfins.net/CyclingBioSpiraHowTo.htm I wanted some opinions on whether it's true so I can...

Thanks for the responses. I'll try using those shims to level my aquarium stand.

I just got my stand for my 30 gal. tank a few days ago. I'm going to set it up in my basement but the floor is uneven. What should I use to level my aquarium stand and fish tank?

Thanks to everyone for the responses. I appreciate it and I'll be doing some more research on your suggestions.

I'm new to fishkeeping. I have a empty 30 gal. tank 36x12x16. I ordered a stand today from my lfs. I was wondering what fish and equipment to buy for it. I also have to learn about cycling before getting any fish. For fish I was thinking of maybe danios, glolight or lemon tetras, harlequin...

Thanks to everyone who responded. I think I'll go with the 29 gal or maybe a 38 gal like pkremer suggested. The 55 gal or bigger I think will probably be too expensive for me. I'll have to look around the lfs's and see which one has the better prices. Thanks again for the advice.

I've never had an aquarium before. I was wondering what size tank is good for a beginner? I was thinking of maybe a 29 gallon tank. I'm thinking of getting peaceful community fish. Would bigger tanks like 55 gal, 75 gal be too big for a beginner.
