Here I am again with more questions for you lovely peoples!(tired of me yet? )
First is heater related question. I was looking into a new heater for my 36G because the one that came with it was only a 50watt heater. I was thinking of a Fluval Submersible(sp?) 200watt as the room the tank is in tends to be a pain in the #%$ to keep warm in the winter. Would this be to much for the warmer months of the year? Want to make sure my fish are toasty and not toasted lol.
Second, SeaChem Prime dosage. The dosing instructions say 5mL(one capful) for every 50G of water, would it be inadvisable to just use a capful for my 36G or should I really be working out the proper dosage for it(trying to figure out how to use the cap for 3.6mL lol).
Third, Has anyone had experience with ordering fish online? I wanted to get a Pearl Gourami and Bristlenose Pleco but none of my LFS carry those and they don't special order. So i'm thinking I may have to go with online if I really want those later.
Last but not leastest. I purchased an Aqueon water changer to help with the cleaning and PWC once I get to that point. With the water change part should I dose the tank with Prime before or after filling the tank back up and should it be a partial or full dosage?
Thanks in advance for any help! Looking forward to the day when I can be the one helping instead LOL.
