So i just bought a 46 gal bow front, and it came with the glass lid. The glass lid makes me a bit nervous, as we have cats. We have conditioned them to not jump on our current 29 gallon, but who knows what goes on when we aren't home. They aren't even worried about the fish, just like the...

Hello, so im perusing the marketplace and i came across this tank, with this small chip in the back. Post claims it holds water. Would this chip worry anyone? Would it be able to be easily (low budget) filled to reinforce and reassure its stability? Or is this chip just asking for problems This...

Perfect, thank you for your input!

Hello all, currently going through the nitrogen cycle. My tap water reads 0 on all levels, just to create a basis. Doing a fish in cycle, currently up to 6 red eye tetras. On day 11 we got about .50ppm ammonia, 0 nitrites, and prob close to 1ppm nitrate. Next day it was around .75 ammonia, same...

Ok, ill give that another read when im with her so we can read it over. Which method do you prefer? We dont have any fish yet so we can surely give either one of those methods a run. And with the water changes, i am just taking out 20% or so of the water (or whatever the nitrate+ammonia entails)...

Just from reading a bit into that, i think the fish in cycle looks like the better path, being that im a beginner, it seems like the better way without full knowledge of the science. So what would your suggestions be for who to introduce first and how often to cycle water (and maybe a crash...

Ok, so what steps should i be taking to assure im keeping up with this. Im gunna pick up test strips on the way home so that i can make sure its all good before i introduce fish. Currently have no real plants, may or may not introduce them, so suggestions for both scenarios would help. I did the...

The heater is in the back right under the filter nub, hidden by that black plant with red tips. I believe thats what you are thinking is the thermometer., i have a stick on thermometer on the right side of tank. And as for the nitrogen cycle, i have heard the term, but am kinda learning as i...
