    Replacing Filter

    I agree about transfering filter media to aquaclear and adding new if you have extra room. I love aquaclear filters over any other HOB.

    Cardinal Tetras and Hard water

    Just moved to Ohio and have very hard water. Tested GH 250-300. Will Cardinal tetras adjust to this? I know most of these fish are wild caught and come from soft water areas. What kind of softing pads can I use? Thanks for any ideas.

    new 29 gal setup

    Yep---- dwarf rainbows. They get to a max of 2.5". I was thinking 6-8 rainbows and about 10-12 cardinal tetras. You think black gravel is the way to go?

    new 29 gal setup

    Well after lots of input from this sight I am going with a group of neon rainbows and cardinal tetras. Mix of real and plastic plants, driftwood and maybe a rock or two. I'm thinking black gravel or something very dark to show up the fish. How many of each fish and should I put all rainbow males...

    Mixing yellow labid with school of tiger barbs

    Setting up a 29 gal tank to keep large school of tiger barbs. I have heard putting a yellow labid in with them will keep them in check. Is this true and would I put a male or female in. How many barbs can I keep in a 29 gal. Thanks:)
