Aquarium Advice Apprentice
It all started with my BFF sending me a picture of her new betta. I said, "Wow, that's a great idea, that's just what I need:FISH!"
Since that day, earlier this week, I have decided to pull my unused 55 gallon from the basement, and turn it into a glorious underwater garden. I'm going to try to take it slow, and do it right, and keep this thread updated on my progress!
I've ordered the lights, and they should arrive this coming Thursday. Per members' advice, I bought 4" T5 HO fluorescents, 10K bulbs, from fishneedit.com. I'm ultra excited, and planning on going out today to look for pool filter sand. The LPS has some plant substrate, so I haven't decided on miracle grow or mixing the substrate in with the PFS. Also on the list is bringing up the stand and tank from the basement and cleaning it out. It previously housed one tiny lionhead goldfish, who I was really attached to. When he died (disease ) I gave up on fish for a while.
So, here's to new adventures and beginnings!
