Excuse my ignorance here, but what are CFLs? Also, how would you go bout introducing them all at once? I'm guessing by letting them all float and do the whole acclimation process and then release them into the tank one by one? How long should I wait between bettas?

So, what I am thinking would be cool would be some black substrate of some kind with a big piece of driftwood and densely planted with some beginner plants. What type (wattage/brand) of lights would work best do you think? I'm using a glass versa hood if that helps.

Hillstream loaches are adorable! I've never had loaches before, are they difficult?

Yeah, I've always heard you at least need 5. I was planning maybe around 7 or so for my 30. Do you have any plant suggestions? I'm thinking more medium lighting, but I've never really done much more than the really basic plants.

So I've got an empty 40 gallon, no lid, no lights, filter, nada. Any suggestions for theme? How about plants? And best of all, FISH. Haha, I am stumped on what to do with this one. I also have an empty 30 gallon with the same problem. :blink:

Sooo, I recently got a 30 gallon. Well, I've had tanks for almost three years now, but never a betta sorority, in fact, I just finished cycling and setting up my ten gallon divided male betta tank. So, I need help from people who know what they're doing.. How many girls should I put in there...
