My Angels

Just wanted to post a pic of my completed tank and say thanks to all those that helped me out and answered my beginner questions. I got off to a completely wrong start but you guys really gave me good advise. Some of it was hard to swallow at first but I am glad I did. I now have a happy...

I have a 47 gallon tall tank with many live plants. My water numbers as far as ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates came in perfect. I ran the lights way too much when I first set up the tank but have cut it back to six hours a day for the bright light and just a small 25 watt when home, just to show...

I found an awesome fish store today less than ten miles from my house. I took my daughter in and talked to the guy for about 45 minutes. He really explained a lot of things and gave me awesome advise. He showed me products that I would need but didn't pressure me into buying anything (I'm broke...

Anyone ever used the aquatop ht 200 heaters? Are they good and dependable?

My tank has little particles floating in it. Not sure what it is. There are no fish. I have gravel in the bottom, but I washed it throughly. I have a 50 gallon filter running and a few live plants. How do I clear this up and what could it be?

My tank is taller than it is wide so there is very little floor space but a ton of vertical space. My decorations don't even come half way up the tank which created a huge void. How do I fill that space? Here is a pic when it had fish. Any suggestions?

I am still cycling the tank but I found my daughter is more apt to be patient when we sit and discuss what fish we are going to get. Right now I can't budge her from her beloved rainbow shark (I know tank is a little small). We have discussed tiger barbs, corys, and ghourimas. I don't want to...
