So, can you put a florescent bulb to an incandesent fixture? Alternatively, do incandesent aquarium bulbs come in wattage ratings lower than 15?

OK, this bio-spira really works! I added the new fish in with the bio-spira yesterday, and they're all happy and active! In contrast, the fish that died last week just sat on the bottom of the aquarium from beginning to end. By the way, I'm pretty sure the Aqua-Tech kits at Walmart are the...

OK, I got the 1 oz bio-spira for $14.99. I used a dropper to add 2 ml of the solution to my 2-gallon tank and 5 ml to my 5 gallon tank. I carefully poured the rest into a 1 oz dropper bottle and put it in the fridge. I don't know why the bio-spira doesn't come in a bottle. I guess they want...

Man, this bio-spira is kind of hard to find. I've found two stores in my area that have it. One only has the 3 oz size in stock for $21.99. The other has the 1 oz size for $14.99 and the 3 oz size for $24.99. This is pretty expensive, especially since I only have a 5 gallon tank. One store owner...

Woo... Lots to read. I perused some material, and this cycling sounds like a lot fo time and work. I came across a link to Bio Spira from Marineland. http://www.marineland.com/products/mllabs/ml_biospira.asp So, is this the quick fix?!

But I don't think generic brands of household products are made by the same manufacturer. Well, I bought the 5-gallon hex tank from Walmart convinced that it was the same tank. The front picture was identical. The description even mentioned an Eclipse filter at one point. Woops! :o). At the...

I had one small Oranda goldfish (about 1-inch) in the tank. The tank was running for two days, and I added some water conditioner right before putting in the fish. What do you mean by cycled? What's new tank syndrome? How long do I need to run the tank before adding fish?

OK, so my new fish died with five days in the 2-gallon hex tank with undergravel filter that I bought. I don't know if I want to try another fish or invest in a better tank first. In that case, I could buy an Aqua-Tech tank from Walmart or the Eclipse system. I assume those of you who...

Well, a fish's mass goes up with the cube of its length, so the rule of 1 inch of fish for each gallon probably only holds for small fish. Ten one-inch fish can occupy ten gallons of water, but one 10-inch fish would need a 55 gallon tank!

I just saw some aquarium kits at Walmart that look like the Eclipse Systems with Bio-Wheel, but the brand name was Aqua-Tech, and they were significantly cheaper. For instance, the 5-gallon hex kit was only $30 compared to about $45 for the Eclipse counterpart. From my brief look at the hex box...
