    Tank is up and started

    Took the water to my lfs other than PetsmArt and it's all good to go. The BB survived. So I added the sand and a school of neons and harlequin RasborAs! Here's a pic.

    My API test results? Do I need to cycle?

    So as you guys know I picked up a new 75 gallon that was already set up. I went and picked up ammonia in case I need to cycle it. But I took a sample of my water to PetsmArt and they said it was perfect. I know the strips aren't the most accurate so I picked up an API master test kit and tested...

    Changed my mind. Going fishless, how to dose ppm?

    Behold, my new 75 gallon! Lights? Canopy?

    hey guys, I am getting ready to put my tank together and get it set up (finally). I was wondering, would the filter that came with this kit be enough for my tank?

    36g bow front stand?

    Trying to find a decently priced one but the only ones I can find are crazy expensive. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm in the Chicago area. Trying to keep this cheap. Can I use any other kind of stands or does it absolutely have to be made for a 36 g bow front. It's the aqueon starter kit.
