I ordered the power head.. it arrives today. Thank you!

Conditioner, python water changer are ordered. Question on air stones…. What’s appropriate for a 55g? Ice never had one and don’t want to get the wrong thing. What size airline tubing and how long and is it best to have a long stone or little ones? Or a circular disc?

No I can’t use any filters from any other tanks. In my past experience live plants did nothing but make a mess. I tried.. utter fail. I will have my water tested. Variety of food is a good plan. I figured to get the flakes to start so I had something

HI! I haven't had any aquariums in 12 years. Moving into a new place and can start my adventures again. I'm starting brand new fresh again. Bought a 55 gal Aqueon aquarium from Petco for $79. Originally $169. Ordered: 48" Aquaneat LED Aquarium Light Aqueon Quietflow LED Pro 75 Power Filter...

I have my Aquaclear 70 running my 29g at the moment... Before that were mollies in it... I seeded it with established media from my old filter 3-4 mths ago... I got the 70 with the intentions of upgrading...

Awesome! Thank you!

Yes... And I won't now... I have a 20g L I may use for a pair of GBR and some sort of tetras. The 29 is awkward to clean... and I like the shape of the 20g L and 40g better...

8-12 total cichlids you mean, right? I could do my Demasoni, a yellow lab, etc? At a certain point wouldn't I realize a few have paired off or females were holding?

Long term goal is a 55g.... Depending on the craigslist score OR Petco sale! :-) I got the Aquaclear 70 on purpose with plans to upgrade... This guy is about 1 3/4-2"... Beautiful! Here he or she is: Sex: male or female? Any guesses? Can you tell at all? Wish the pic had him or her with...

So one of them in the 29... What other non cichlid tankmates can he or she be with? I only have him..., or her! ... And my 2" baby Bristlenose Pleco

I got my first Damasoni cichlid.... He or she is in my newly revamped 29g tank... What other Cichlids can be be kept with him/her? I read they can be quite aggressive?? Is this true? Yellow lab? What other cichlids? This is lake Malawi right?? So I'll have to stick with this type... ADVICE...

Okay I got the install correct... However I got a T8 @ Home Depot instead of the T5 I had before. Wattage is same.. 17w.. However its not florescent it seems to be incandescent...? It puts off a yellow color instead of bright and beautiful that I'm used to..... I think I'm going to have to make...

RIP Jitterbug.. you were the most beautiful Betta I've ever owned... All water quality steady and normal 8.0, 0, 0, 10 :-( he became weak and slow and stopped eating... no physical marks on his body... Here he was:

My mollies and gourami are pigs... How do you suggest I feed him? How old is it? Any guesses?

I GOT MY BNP!! Not in tank yet! He or she is so little! Only 1.5".... How old??
