Anyone in the Edmonton area with seeding media?

Me two

Great. ... I just stuck 30 tetras onto a 12 g tank

Welcome to AA! The cycle continues.....

Plastic diver from wall mart

Almost real lol. Yeah they are silk and actually look good and feel soft to the touch. The fish and shrimp like them a lot! Gives them some privacy and a place to hide. :)

Thanks. I chose to start with fake plants so that I would have less potential issues to deal with. Once the tank is fully cycled I will get some tasteful plants in there and make it 4 real

12gal tetra tank

This is my first tank. I will change things up in 6 months to keep fish intrigued and happy. Keep in mind I'm just starting out :)

If its the right size surely.

Totally. Don't even waste your time trying to shorten the tank. This requires precision.

From what I know some 10 gal and 50 gal aquariums are made from tempered glass meaning you cannot drill them ( it will shatter into pieces). You can always email the manufacturer and ask
