Lovely!!! I really want to set up a tiny tank again, but I'm thinking of taking all the plants out of my 55g and start over... or putting them into the 36 gallon that's next to the window and gets plenty of sunlight. I need to get dental floss for sure to tie my plants to the logs. I'm not...

I didn't rinse my sand as well as I should have (being pool filter sand and all). It was cloudy for a couple of days, I ended up doing a 80% water change and then it cleared up well enough. Now I don't have any issues putting in water or changing it out now. :) If it doesn't clear up after 36...

Tanks a great idea for your science class! Glad you found us. :)

How pretty!!!! (Sorry, just catching up.) :D

Oh lovely!!! What do we have in the 5 tanks??

Returned from a long slumber... Good afternoon, all! My apologies for my long absence. I have missed you all! Many different changes... namely: I bought a house! I've also reduced the amount of active fishtanks from 4 to 2... my 2-55 gallon tanks are alive and well. I am having issues with...

The photos are absolutely gorgeous, btw. My apologies for neglecting to put them in my previous post. :) And GG, I haven't heard "Danielle Steel" in ages! :D I've not had a chance to read that one, but I might now. :D

So, the long light (which has the planted bulb) which was sitting on the 55g angel fish tank was bothering me, and I think had spawned an algae bloom. So, I did a PWC the other day and it helped a bit, but then I opted to just go for a massive change. So I decided that the lighting on the...

Are you married to the idea of skirt tetras? What if you got the 6 blackskirt tetras, a school of 6 rummynose tetras, and 2 dwarf gourami? Some mild variation maybe? Just an idea. :)

Shuffled the artificial plants/plants/driftwood/lighting among the 3 large tanks. Keeping an eye on my 55g angel tank, I don't like the look of the water, it's still cloudy. I know some of it is because I shuffled the sand around last night, so I'm waiting to see what else is going on with it...
