I get everything in the store at cost... So whatever we are able to purchase it from our distributors ;) it definitely saves a lot of money for me! (Besides my two tanks, I breed reptiles and have a cat and a 4.5 month old corgi puppy). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I am still learning all the lingo lol I work at a pet store and would have easy access to many units, but some of the favorites among the staff seem to be the deep blue solarmax HO 230. It's a dual t5ho with moonlight LEDs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't plan on injecting CO2, I'm not against liquid carbon though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys! I have a 20 gallon long that I am looking to upgrade the lighting on. Right now I have an Aqueon good with a 17w full spectrum T8 light. Now that my tank is cycled and mostly stocked I am looking to add more plants and upgrade my lighting. Plant wise, I currently have some anubias...

I just have the standard 17w full spectrum t8 now, but I plan to get either leds or a dual t5 fixture. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a 20 gallon long that is almost cycled. I currently have a few pieces of rock and a piece of driftwood as well as some anachris. I was thinking of attaching some anubias or java fern to the rocks and maybe some moss on the driftwood. I plan to stock with 2 German blue rams, 10-12...

The 26 gallon bowfront I picked up from a coworker has the 24in LED+ fixture and it's beautiful! Very customizable too! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay. The filter is an Aquaclear 50 and I don't mind doing frequent water changes. My LFS gives store credit to those who bring in some older fry for them to sell, which is a good thing! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After looking more into it he really REALLY likes the Endlers. How many would you recommend for this size tank? He also might want some bottom feeders, like cory cats or some sort of loach. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not dead set on keeping the betta, so any and all suggestions are great! My boyfriend said that he would prefer a lot of small fish to only a few larger ones. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like tiger barbs, but this is going to be mainly my boyfriend's tank as far as what he chooses to go into it and he is buying everything for it. He just doesn't want to put the time in to learn everything, whereas I love asking questions and learning as much as possible! If we wanted to keep...

I spy that Betta too! I'm not all sure what is left in the tank. I know at one point he had some badis badis, albino bristlenose pleco, guppies, peacock gudgeons, kuhli loaches... He is very indecisive so he was always changing it. I guess as we break it down we will see what is in there...

I like the idea of some rainbows! Here is a picture my coworker took just now. Looks like he already had a great set up going! I just want to add more plants. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am getting a 26 gallon bowfront from a coworker soon and would love to know how you guys would stock it! It will be fully cycled, he has had he tank up and running for about 2 years. It has some rock, driftwood, and plants. I'm currently cycling a 20 gallon long that I plan to stick with...

I have been doing 25% water changes daily for the past several days and started noticing some Nitrites! So excited to have my tank cycled soon. When using a gravel vac, what is the proper technique to clean the gravel? Most how to videos I have seen day just to stick it straight in the gravel...

I am just getting into the aquarium hobby, but I breed reptiles! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for all the extra comments. If I had known about fishless cycling before, I might have gone that route. Might. As others have said, both methods work. Back on topic: I will be performing another water test at around 530pm EST when I get back from work. So that will be about 22 hours...

I totally understand what you are saying. I am good friends with the people who work at my LFS. When I first got the giant danios I was intending to keep them in my tank until I did more research and learned that they would not be okay in a 20 long. It is also my preference. I prefer to do...

I just retested my water Ammonia 0.5 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 0 ppm pH 7.4-7.6 Temp 78F Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where can I get some if the filter floss? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Near where the filter is it kinda looks like bubbles, but the rest of the tank is for sure particles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I figured it was normal, but hasn't seen anyone else's tank look like that! Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know that the giant danios cannot stay in this tank long term. My LFS will let me bring the fish back after I cycle the tank so I can stock it the way I want. I will re-read that article, now that I have some more questions. My water out of the tap has 0 ammonia. I only feed a tiny pinch...

Okay thank you very much. I just completed a 50% water change, and I will retest the water in an hour. I filled a few vials with the water straight out of my tap so I can check and see what the ammonia reads straight out of the tap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know it is very high, which is why I am posting to ask about water changes. Do you think a 50 percent water change every other day will be fine? I know I won't be able to test my water immediately after the water change because the Prime will give some false results for the ammonia. I cane...
