Hi Lozzy, and welcome to AA. Good for you for doing the research first. Very important for success with your fish. I assume, since you want plants, you are doing a freshwater tank. First I have a link for a heater: Amazon.com: Fluval M 200-Watt Submersible Heater: Pet Supplies. This is a...

Hi Pamela, and family, and welcome to the AA forum!:welcome: We're glad you found us. How exciting to be cycling a big, beautiful tank for the holidays. You'll find all the information, as well as any needed advice, on this forum for sure. Have fun!!!

Hi, and welcome to AA.:welcome:

Hi, and welcome to the AA forum! :welcome:

Barb... I was just rereading your original post, and realized that you don't have salt water fish, but I still think that putting your question in the saltwater section will get you a better response, because there are vastly more sumps and trickle filters used by marine aquarists, than by...

Hi Barb, and welcome to the AA forum! I can't really answer your questions about the sump, although I did have one, but so many years ago, I don't remember the details. However, I thought you might get a better response if you put your questions in the saltwater/reef forums. Here's a link to get...

Hi, skanham, and welcome to the forum! :welcome: Glad to have you. As Carey said, this is a very friendly place, and a great place to get information, as well.

Hi, and welcome, Starka! :welcome: HaHaHa....around here that's called MTS (multi tank syndrome). And so, welcome to the addiction, as well. I'm sure your fish love you for it.:flowers:

Hi jnj, and welcome to the forum!:welcome: I am so sorry to hear about your difficulties. It's really hard getting started, esp. taking over another's tank, which was how I started. I'll give you a link for some really good articles, which included an article on how to cycle a tank when you...

+1 If you make it a joint endeavor, you'll never regret it. and Welcome to AA:welcome:

Hi, kkimjames, and welcome to AA! :welcome: Glad you decided to join. I'm sure you'll be able to get all the advice you need in the forum. Lots of friendly and knowledgeable members here, when you need them.

Hi, Olorin, and welcome to AA!:welcome: Just a little aside, and that is, you can't believe everything they tell you in fish stores. Some are extremely knowledgeable, but most aren't. But momma.oftwo is right about schooling fish. I presently have 6 red eyes myself, but I know I need about...

Hi Andy, and welcome to the AA forum!:welcome:I can't advise you on the questions you asked, since the largest tank I ever had was a 125 Saltwater only. As of now, I am strictly FW. My advice would be to go the saltwater forum and post your questions there, since the really knowledgeable...

Hi Adam, and welcome to AA.:welcome: I could use some carport instructions, as well, but I can't say I'd be worried about snow. Haven't really seen that stuff since I left Buffalo after the blizzard of 77 (thank heavens).

Hi, fellow Texan, and welcome to AA!:welcome: Glad to have you aboard.

Hi there, noobaquarists, and welcome to AA!:welcome: The first thing I would say, is that you should change your name, cause, chances are, that you won't always be a nooby, and you'll be stuck with that name. Aside from that, I can't speak about any fish but the pleco, cause I have one. Do...

Hi there, Strangedude, and welcome to AA!:welcome:I bet you love your pleco, most people do. I love ours, but esp. a common, as I found the hard way, needs a MUCH bigger tank than a 20. They can grow to well over a foot long, I'm told. They probably need minimum 75, but bigger if possible. Also...

Hi there, Skywhitney, and welcome to AA! :welcome: About the mopani wood....Did you do anything to treat it before putting it in your tank? I have a piece myself, and from everything I have read about it, a pH drop is to be expected. Some people even use it to moderate alkalotic tap...

Hi there, and welcome to the forum! :welcome: Here's a link to some valuable information that you probably won't get from your local fish store: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/before-getting-started-check-out-these-resources-154837.html. Read through these, and see if they...

Hi and welcome to the forum!:welcome: In case you would like a link to the articles that HN1 mentioned, here it is: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/before-getting-started-check-out-these-resources-154837.html. Hope this helps. Just ask questions, if you have any, after you read...

I DO know how hard that is to type on the phone. However, to get to the point, I will give you a link to the articles that will answer your questions, because until you understand the nitrogen cycle, it will still be...

Hi there, DesertDweller, and welcome to the AA forum. :welcome: That's a big decision to make, unless, of course, you decide to become a multitank aquarist, which seems to happen to most aquarists around here. I also was a former aquarist, from the 90's, when I happened to take over my...

Hi there, ACeee, and welcome to the AA forum! :welcome: You've found the right place, if you're looking for knowledge and advice. I don't think my fish would be alive today, if I hadn't found this place. They are great, and more than willing to share their knowledge and experience, and...

Well, hey convict, petsmart has a marineland 60 with stand on sale for $249, or a 75 for $206, and those are brand new. I think you should get the wife more invoved, cause there's always going to be CL and/or sales...always. If you get her on board and involved, maybe she'll even want her own...
