Also, I will be starting at medium lighting. I feel kinda like you did. I don't really want to start from the bottom. Medium lighting has a lot to offer and I would like to start there. Now I don't want to get all intense. I'll probably keep the plants minimal and somewhat basic. They will...

Well here's the word. I'm going to Canada on the 18th to the 21st. Spending a lot to do it. The plan is, when I come back after a week or so I'm going to start purchasing what I need. First will be a tank; 55g approximately. Next will be all of the necessities , which I will come back to for...

What kind of light do you use and why? Is the finnex 24/worth the extra money? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

What kind of lighting do you use? I looked into the finnex 24/7. It's an awesome light with all of its setting and how it transfers lighting throughout the day. It's pretty pricey compare to the other LEDs finnex has. Other than it being "cool", is it beneficial. Sent from my iPhone using...

h What do you think bout canisters ? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Well what's the point of the canister other than it not being visible compared to the hob. The price difference is huge. I totally want to have a set up I understand and I want a very efficient and well established tank. If I should spend $100 more on a canister and I will make that big of a...

Canister or power filter? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Canister or power filter for a 40 to 50g Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

A filter should process your water about 3 times an hour right? One other question too; are LED lights worth the price. www.fishbeginner.info had an article saying they're a waste and that you can just purchase T2 T5 or T12s for way less money. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

No idea. I don't have a single piece of equipment for this whole thing. I start d with tank research and what size to get and then substrates and plants and the cycle then jumped to aquascaping and recently into the fish and lighting. So what I was thinking was sorta kinda get a descent grasp...

What do you think about LED compared to T5, T2 or T12 lighting? There can be huge price differences with LED. If I want medium lighting in a 40 -50 g tank what would you use? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Bichirs are too big. I started looking at loaches and they had the same look and were way smaller, pretty hardy and bottom feeders to help keep the tank clean. I saw that I would need a better filter with this species because they burrow and mix the substrate around. So I like the Kuhli loach...

Will that be worth it as a beginner? Should I keep it more simple? I would really like to be successful. I want it to be a thriving tank obviously bit just starting I don't want to get ahead of myself. I liked he suggestion of using co2 once the tank is cycled and everything is well so I...

Well as a beginner maybe low lighting will be best for me. I really want a nice carpet on the foreground. I read that moss really is the best for growing in those conditions. What do you suggest for mid and background. The Internet has 8939 options what's your personal opinion for a beginner...

Would you be able to help me out with all of this? You seem very educated about this. I've done a lot of tank research and looked into plants and the cycle and care but never looked into the plants with lighting and co2. Didn't really realize all that ya know? I'm trying to get into it and...

That's the thing. I'm just starting and trying to figure all this out I'm thinking at least 40g and willing to buy any filter of it makes that much of a difference I don't want huge fish just ones that are a few inches. And whatever anyone says doesn't mean I'm gonna get them just would like to...

Hey everyone! Just learning how serious this hobby is. I want to have real plants in my tank and I would like some unique freshwater fish in it too. Any idea or opinions on what kind of fish would be interesting and can survive together. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Never know though. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I was told introducing a more aggressive with a community fish can happen if introduced when young and grew together. But really any type of semi aggressive fish that grows to the same length which is 4 to 5 inches will be able to be able to go in same tank. Basically so they can both handle...

I am being persuaded to go bigger and bigger so I'm gonna say at the smallest 40g and no bigger the 75. I know that's a big jump bit 75 is really reaching. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
