Thank You Goatnad! Ok, I'll call 'em Monday & ask for a larger piece. It's 8 mm thick / 5/16"... i'm a firm believer in 'buy once, cry once' so I tried to get the best tank I could find. An Aquamaxx, with low iron glass.... Bill

And I've got some left over A grade plywood out in the garage. I'm going to cut a piece to go under the tank....

Hope you haven't looked at my above reply yet cuz this is related. I took the tank outside to fill it up just to make sure it doesn't leak & the pad they gave me to put under it is 3/8" shorter than the tank. Actually it's short by the thickness of the glass used. Wouldn't this put strain on the...

Thank You for the replies! I see your point of it not being supported so I won't do it that way. The table is plenty big enough for the tank I just wanted the hose for the canister filter to go straight up into the tank. I read something where you shouldn't have a bend in the hoses.... Bad...

I just got a new 22 gal tank. If I set it up with one corner of the tank off of the table is that a big deal? A corner that's 2" x 2" x 2 3/4"... Tank is approximately 35" x 12" x 12"... Thank You! Bill

Thank You Athenaisfishy! Oh that's right, the vibrations. Yes, I'll have to move him... Thanks again! Bill

Will loud music hurt, upset or agitate my Betta? I just got my stereo amplifier back from the repair shop today, hooked it up & was blasting my music. It then dawned on me that it could harm him. Can they hear the music through the tank walls? And it plays loud. Same speakers they have in the...

Thank You Angel! It's not bloat if they quit eating. My guys a gluten... And he's swimming around now too... The filter doesn't look like it has all that much flow... But, I'll try the garlic juice on the peas... Bill

Thank You V227! They don't mention this when your buying filters from them! Bill

Angellove78, Thank You! Ok, I didn't feed him for a day & a half. Then fed him a skinless canned pea. Swished it up & dropped in pieces. He ate a piece & then spit it up. Put another whole one in (skinned) & he wouldn't touch it. Then soaked a 2 Tetra Small Pellets in water, dropped them in one...

Thank You Angel & V227! Ok, so no food for a couple of days. And I bought pee's at the market.... Bill

Thank You Coral! So I can hook up the Aqueon Pro Heater to the Finnex Controller? Bill

Thank You Zxc! Would you please give me the manufactures name (if you have it handy model number) of a temperature controller &/or reef controller that would be good to use? I'm new at this & I'm already getting a pile of stuff I've bought that I don't need Lol... Thanks again! Bill

Thank You Angel & V227! So the weird color & raw like look under his chin is Bloat? If not, how do I tell when he's not bloated anymore? Oh, is this pic I posted of him pooping? Thanks again! Bill

Are there any heaters that just don't fail. I don't really care what it costs. On Amazon reviews there are no heaters where at least a few folks haven't said; "I woke up this morning & my fish were cooked"... Maybe a private individual who makes heaters one at a time & they are perfect. As an...

If you show your local Petco Store their on-line price they will honor it... $21.99 + tax... If you order it on-line the shipping kills the good price...

Picture of my filter & replacement filter I didn't change the filter for the first 4-5 weeks. Since then I've changed it 2 times.... I try to keep his tank between 78-80 degrees. But it gets as low as 77 & as high as 82... I'm reluctant to use a heater. There's not one heater where at least a...

1) Crown Tail Betta. I'll post pictures of his body. Color changed on his body. Spends a lot of time just sitting on his plastic plants or on bottom. He didn't use to... 2) Tank Parameters; PH is lighter then 7.6 but not as light as 7.2... Ammonia over 0 ppm not .25 ppm...

Hello B, Thank You! but I should have logged in before I changed more water rater than after. I just finished changing a gallon. I think tomorrow I'll go get a bigger aquarium. Mine is so small it still looks dirty. Then I'll mark it down & change 1/2 weekly. He doesn't seem to like water...

Thank You Coral & Reygan2! I change 50% now & 50% in am... I will research plants... Bill

Thank You Reygan2! I will change out more of the water tomorrow (to equal 1/2 if counting tonight). What type of plants? I'll go get some... Don't know if it makes a difference but I use the special water that the fish store sells... I noticed after I stirred the tank water up by siphoning that...

Ok, took out a little more than 2 quarts (app 20% of 2 3/4 gal), tested again & maybe a little lower but not much. I'll check it again in the morning...

Thank You Mulch05! I'll do it now... Then if it's still high in the morning I'll do another. Bill

My Nitrate level is over 20 ppm. What should I do? 2 3/4 gal tank. I'm thinking I should replace a gallon or so of water. Should I use Neutral Regulator 7.0? Prime? Or both? Thank You! Bill Crown Tail Beta...

Thank You Fresh20! I'll make sure I get the gel. Bill
