Thanks for the suggestions everyone! I've done some more research and reconsidered on the rams. I'm also going to stick with one powder blue dwarf gourami. Also, I went to buy the 29g tank I scoped out at one of the LFS I visited and they had sold it, so I ended up with a 30g. I'm actually...

Looking for suggestions on the best types/brands of food. I understand that it will depend on the type of fish that you have, so to make it easier what brands do you recommend? I want to feed my fish high quality and the least processed. Food that would closely mimic what they would eat in the...

Also, in regards to the cory cats...do they all have to be the same type? I read that they prefer to be in groups of 6. Does this mean I could get 3 different types, or should they be the same? 2 x Peppered 2 x Elegans 2 x False Julii

I've never looked into them before honestly.... Looked them up on LiveAquaria.com and I LOVE the look of the electric blue rams. Would you say two of them?

Good point... I had ADF before, but had them in a 20 and they did fine. I also called to make sure the LFS still had the 29gal that I wanted and they don't, but they do have a 30gal. I believe the 30's are longer vs taller, so hopefully it will work. I'll have to take that into consideration...

For the 29g I was thinking the following. Please criticize and let me know if adjustments or omissions should be made. Dwarf Gourami x 2 Fancy Guppies x 6 Peppered Cory Cat x 4 ADF x 3 Mystery Snail x 3 Thank you!!

Dcutl, on this 2nd choice (low end) it says 80 lights at .5wt which would mean it produces 40wts, correct? Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was looking at one similar to this that only produces 18wts (108 lights) and it's only a couple dollars cheaper. Want to make the best decision...

SMS1852, It looks great! I decided on the 70 as well....the cost difference is hardly there and it's extra room for media! I love your little skull. I also like the black...is it sand or fine gravel? I'm still trying to decide on substrate. I like the black look but I like the natural stone...

Thanks for the suggestions... When I feel like I've made a decision on the HOB for the 29g I second guess myself and wonder if I'll end up wanting a canister for it down the road and should just invest in one up front. However, if you guys feel like a HOB would be appropriate it definitely...

Back with more questions... I will need a canister filter for my 75g and I'm thinking I'll go with a HOB for my 29g tank, but if canister is the best way to go I'll do that. I want both tanks to be planted if that helps. Opinions please! Best filters and why...

Thanks Delapool, I've got that in my Amazon cart. I remember using these from my prior experience. Chi_Cichlid, Thanks! I was thinking canister filter for the 75g, but went to a local shop yesterday and he tried to talk me out of it saying that they usually leak and are harder to maintain...

Hey everyone! I had a few tanks years ago, and I'm sure things have changed as far as new products and better technology. Also, since it's been so long, I consider myself a nearly total newbie. Anyhow, I would like to get started again and am looking for recommendations on the best filters and...

Thanks for the advice. I went ahead and got the tank and it's all set up, except for a a turtle ramp and a floating log that I ordered. I also got an air pump and two small air stones that I'm going to put in the back corners. I think it's going to turn out really nice. I can't wait to get...

It looks really nice!

I thought I'd go ahead and ask if anyone has newts. I haven't even got my frog tank up and running yet and I'm already getting the itch for another tank... :rolleyes: I really think having some aquatic newts would be awesome. I've been reading up on them, but there isn't as much...

The past few days I've been getting my african dwarf frog set up started. I just got the stand tonight and decided where I was going to put it. I decided on my office since I would be sitting there more often and be able to enjoy them. I rinsed and put the substrate in a couple days ago along...

My name is Melissa and I have recently become addicted to this hobby. I currently have a 75 gallon tank with an Oscar and Severum. I just added another 20 gallon (I have yet to set it up) which I'm planning on having about 6-8 African dwarf frogs. I'm just waiting on a few things I ordered...
