Thanks for posting! In addition to the above, after the soak in fresh water, make sure to dry the plants out fully. This will allow the remainder bleach, if any, to evaporate. Thanks

Got it so you are overstocking this one? I LOVE ghost shrimp! They are an amazing invert! Have you thought about using Cherry Shirmp? you can see those a bit more. Dwarf Frogs are cool as well, just don't like frogs. I would use this stocking: Your betta 5 or so of the Shrimp 1-3 Small...

Thanks for posting! I looked up this filter on the webs, does this one have a UV filter? In addition, is this the only filter you are using for a 22 gallon tank? I personally never used this filter but if this is your only filter, I would recommend running another filter. I would assume this...

Thanks for posting! Is the 4th fish at the service opening and closing it's mouth? Are there any 'cotton' like substances anywhere on the fish? How are your water levels? I would say treat with some sort of aloe treatment, mostly found in chlorine treatments. This will give that supposed...

Thanks for posting! I would recommend not going anything lower than 5 gallons. The kits that are provided in the pet stores are more of novelty. So, I would get the following: 5 gallon fish tank HOB Filter-(Hang on the Back) Water Treatment For your first tank, I would recommend not getting...

How long have you had the tank setup?

Yah this stuff didn't, but I just water tested it and then tried to rub it off, it came right off the glass. Whenever I have time, ill just go and get some silicone and redo it. Resealing takes forever!

Hey guys! So I just resealed this retro 10 gallon. I call it retro because it has chrome edges because it is old. Anyway, I used acrylic with silicone that is white. Is this stuff okay to use for the seal? I am not worried about the toxins leaching out because I will be having the water sit...

You could also put a plate on the bottom and pour out the water from the bucket onto the sumerged plate

I would recommend getting the Aquon water changer. It is cheaper and better quality.

I would agree, you can't use just RO strickly. You need to add minerals back into your water or your fish will be worse off. The ammonia in the tank isn't bad and the BB will in fact consume it.

I'd agree with mumma. Or if he doesn't move for a week and is upside down. Good luck!
