How deep should my substrate be. I plan on using eco-complete for my 29 gallon tank and need to know how much I should get. It will be densely planted if that matters.

like mfdrookie said, keep doing water changes until you get your ammonia to a reasonable level

Sorry to hear about your loss sarah. I am going to be more carefull about all the equipment I buy for my tank now

Will 3 bolivian rams (1 male and 2 female) and 10 neon tetra be compatible in a 29 gallon tank?

to get rid of the hard water stains, get the glass wet and use a razor blade to scrape it off. Hold the razor blade horizontally and scrape upwards on the glass.

You won't have to recycle the tank as long as you use the same filter as you were before and you keep it wet. Most of the bacteria lives in the filter and not the substrate. The sand shouldn't effect your pH or ammonia. PFS is recommended by most people here.

really? I didn't know that. so the evaporation won't hurt the lights at all? you saved me $20 :)

hey dann.yy, I am looking for a light for my 29 gallon tank and I think this is the one. I don't know if I will be able to get any money soon though so I don't want to keep you waiting. If I do manage to get some money in the next couple of weeks I will take you up on your offer.

thanks timwag. I am most likely going to go with the coralife fixture. I might buy it from dann.yy if I can find some money soon. otherwise I will just pay full price on doctor foster and smith. I am also going to get the all glass versa top since it cant be put over open water

I am setting up a 29 gallon tank and want to grow some dwarf hair grass in it to cover my substrate. Will this light be enough. I want to get the 24" double fixture. If it is not enough, could someone recommend a cheap open top alternative?

usually it is just the bottom that is tempered glass, but I'm not 100% sure if that goes for all tanks

This is the coolest background I have ever seen! :shocked!:

you could put some koi in a 55 as long as you have a TON of filtration and you have a BIG pond to put them in after they get to big for the tank. The pond is a must though. If you don't have a place to put them after they out grow the tank (which will be fast), don't get them!

big tanks with lots of small schooling fish looks cool. ex: tetras or danios

the bigger the tank the better

+1 on the liquid test kit and you may need to get a siphon to clean the substrate

here is a link that should help get you started: Low Light Plants

just attaching the moss with some string or fishing line will be fine

I know you said you used 4 bags of flourite, but how many pounds did you use? I am planning on setting up a 29 gallon planted tank so I am trying to figure out how deep my substrate should be

thanks mfdrookie, i didn't really know where to put the HOB filter. I will try and put a piece of glass across the refuge and see how that works

I will also have a Fluval 205 canister filter with an inline heater. I know this might be over kill but I believe you can never have too much filtration

This is a 10 gallon sump that I plan to build for my 29 gallon FW tank. What do you guys and gals think? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Will a sump defeat the purpose of adding CO2 to a tank? I have heard that you don't want any surface movement when using CO2 to reduce the gas exchange.

like everyone else has been saying, hold the vaccum above the sand (how far from the sand depends on what kind of sand you are using) and make little circular motions with it to stir up the debris on the sand. Just experiment and you will get the hang of it.

I don't want to steal your thread fishguy, I just had a quick question. Can I have one angelfish in a 29 gallon aquarium or will it get to big?
