Wow, that tank is almost exactly what I had pictured! That is a gorgeous tank! I've done DIY co2 before and I know its a pain in the rear. I also know that it fluctuates ALOT, you have tons of co2 when you first make your mixture and it slowly falls off as the sugar is used up and yeast...

I dont want to grow too many species. I was concerned mostly about the CF light penetration into the bottom of the tank. I want a ground covering ONLY with a rocky outcropping. No taller plants which is why I'm worried about the penetration into the bottom of the tank. I wanted to grow...

Perfect! That is the only 30" fixture I could find as well that had more then 2x24W bulbs in it. Thanks for the link though, that looks like a good price for it! Will the CF bulbs penetrate enough to get the to the bottom of the tank for a low ground cover? Or do I definitely need to upgrade...

I'm starting over on my 29g tank, I just moved across the country and get to start from scratch (mostly). Standard 29g Current compact fluorescent fixture...one "dual" bulb so I'm guessing 65W? Here is the light I have...Freshwater bulb no CO2 yet, have done DIY in the past with pop bottles..am...

I just bought the 48W 24" freshwater version of this light the other day from Ken at oceanreeflections.com OceanReeFlections I got it yesterday in the mail and set it up over my 26 gallon bowfront. It seems to be working great and the box came fast and in great condition (and its cheaper...

awesome! Definately keep us posted on it Jesse

I never thought of a paintball tank, I've got 3 20oz tanks laying around for my spyder. That actually might be a good use for them, I'm going to have to research using a paintball tank a little more, any idea how long 20oz would last in a 29g aquarium? also are there special "kits" for using...

Unfortuantely the people at the store told me he'd be "perfect" for my tank, and I've had him for almost a year now which means I doubt they'd take him back. Also I bought him in Ohio before I moved to Arizona and he took the trip with me. Now that I'm in AZ the only local pet stores I have...

I guess this isn't really the place to ask questions, maybe I'll just redo them over on the FW boards later so they'll get a little more exposure :-) Anyways just wanted to say Hi! I'll check back incase anyone does answer them here though :-) Also I plan to get an ammonia test kit sometime...

Thanks for all the welcoming! I'd love to do a heavily planted tank, and I think some of the planted tanks I've seen on here are absolutely beautiful!! Right now I need to mainly find a good lfs, the only thing really close is petsmart, and I have two of them. I know they have live plants in...

I just learned that my current fish may not be the happiest is the world because I apparently have schooling fish without schools :( My 29 Gallon currently has: 1 4" bala shark 2 1" Tiger Barbs 1 1" Red-tailed Shark 2 2" Rosy barbs 1 4" pleco (my 10" pleco recently passed and this was his...

I'd love to do a heavily planted tank, and I think some of the planted tanks I've seen on here are absolutely beautiful!! Right now I need to mainly find a good lfs, the only thing really close is petsmart, and I have two of them. I know they have live plants in little plastic tubes but they are...

not to be confused with the terrible 90's "band", I just found this forum yesterday and decided to join and post today. I've had FW aquariums since I was about 8 (i'm 23 now) and realized after my reading yesterday that I really had no idea what I was doing. I knew basic diseases (ick, fin...
