Set up: 35 pounds of pool filter sand 30-60 HOB whisper filter 80 gallon sponge filter 100 watt heater Various rocks Hoping to get a few plants to put along the back. Sorry for the hard water marks :( Tell me what you think! Stocking ideas would be great!

The three tanks I got on the trade had 4 heaters, one looks identical to the one in the tank, the second one identical just smaller (100w?) and the third says aqueon 200 but it makes a sound similar to a busted light bulb when Move it

They're basically all a few different types of tetras, three guppies and a few mollies. But they're in a different, warmer, part of the house. I tend to keep my bedroom fairly cold haha.

I just wanted to go ahead and give it the benefit of the doubt before I tried a new one. This is my first tank using a heater because my 3 other ones I have set up are stocked with hardy fish that don't really need one.

Here's a pic, sponge filter isnt currently set up.

Right now it's positioned in the top back corner opposite of the filter, thermometer is diagonal from the heater in front of the filter. Where would you recommend positioning it?

Would 200 watts be too small? From what I've read I thought that's around the standard size for a 55 gallon

Yes it's working. A red light comes on and off at intervals of a few minutes, and I've pulled it out of the water and it's warm to the touch... Not sure what brand it is.

Trying to get my new tank to cycle, and as its coming to an end to the process, I realize it's pretty close to the same temp as my other tanks without heaters just by touch. It's a 29 gallon (I believe, it's bigger than my 20 and smaller than my 55... Got it off a trade on CL as well as the...

I'm about to acquire 2 55 gallons and a 20 gallon thru a trade on craigslist and I'm actually going to mainly focus on the 20 gallon. Here's what I was KNOW will be part of the set up. 20 lbs. base rock 5 lbs. lives rock HOB filter rated for 60 gallons. Heater, I forget exactly how many watts...

I've had both these tanks running for about 6 months now. Red tank: 5 lemon tetras 3 cardinal tetras 1 black Molly I personally think the plastic plants look like ****, can anyone recommend any live plants that would look good? Also looking to add a snail or some shrimp to this tank Blue tank...

Does anyone know the major differences over these? Except the 200$ difference which I think would mean more/upgraded built in equipment.

I think she's done.. I feel bad for not being able to save any :/

I have literally had this dalmation Molly in its new tank for less than 30 minutes and it started giving birth! What do I do!?

Okay thanks! Would one of the plecos that only get a couple inches long be okay for one of the 10 gal's? After they've been running for a while.
