Stay safe bro. As much as we all love our wet pets make sure you dont sacrifice room for stuff your family will need.

Just get a loach :wink: Plants are great to put in first since they will help keep the ammonia in check.

Planted. I love my thickly planted 29gal. It is by far my favorite tank to stare at.

Places mentioned above are where I get mine. Both stores pack them very well so you shouldnt have to worry about a broken top.

My cories dont seem to notice they are not all the same. My High-fin greens, pandas and sterbais all school together. In fact the larger greens help push the pandas to the food, its pretty funny

Water Changes I use Purigen in my tank and it helps too. Also live plants help a ton. They use the nitrates quite well. In fact in my planted tanks I have to add Nitrogen because the plants soak it all up and still need more.

Hmm maybe you still have bubbles on the impeller and its cavitating? Mine is noisy at first but quiets down.

I would say the Rift Lake Cichlids will be the closest to salt with aquascape and fish coloring. Never done them myself though.

I have 9 Tigers in my tank and have no problems with them fighting. I believe the females have a more rounded belly than the males. So Im figuring I have 4 females and 5 males and the dominant male has the brightest coloring. He runs the show.

I TIVOed it and will watch it tonight. I saw the big Doradid on the commercial.

Most fish are omnivores, so they require plant matter also.

Just read the bloodworm thing. Feed as treat not as a staple food and you will be ok.

Should be fine. I feed the little feeder guppy that got tossed in my bag accidentally the New Life Spectrum small fish stuff that I feed my Pristella Tetras.

They are just real sensitive to water conditions. Alot of people use them as a water quality indicator, the duller the red head the poorer the water conditions.

Yep just think of them like corn 8O

Looks like Anacharis

Yes you should skin the peas as the outer shell is not easily digestible (if at all)

When you are cycling your tank you are basically waiting for beneficial bacteria colonies to for to convert your ammonia and then nitrite. Some people use carbon when first setting up their tanks to remove whatever chemicals might be in the tank due to shipping and handling. My Eheim canisters...

Ceramic rings are for the biological bacteria, they are a porus material where they colonize. Carbon in only really used to remove meds or other impurities from the water.

I have white pool filter sand. It is a PITA to clean but when it is it looks natural (course it looks very natural dirty :wink: )

I am growing Wisteria, Jungle val, and anubias Nana with pool filter sand. Just try to stick with plants that pull nutrients from the leaves more than the roots. The lunar lights have no effect on plant growth. A good size bottle of Prime (250ml) will last you a while.

Look at the Current Lunar Links instead of the Coralife light. I like them much more. Also whatever you choose you will need more than 1. They say one light every 2 feet, so I would shoot for 3 lights. I have 2 Lunar links over my 29gal and it looks amazing at night. That light is ok for fish...

My lease says specifically no tanks larger than 30gal. It does not say how many though :wink:

Ive used Biospira numerous times and never had a problem. Like flipz said probably got too warm.

If you are adding water directly into the aquarium via hose (Python system) you should treat the WHOLE volume of the tank. This is due to the new water already mixing with the new water. At least thats how Ive always done it. With the little amounts for Prime I have to use its no big deal to...
