I have a 15g tall tank with that twin tube Eclipse hood you're talking about. I don't use the Eclipse filtration system though; I used a hack saw to cut out a rectangle in the back to hang off a AC filter in the back. I had algae problems and weenie, dying plants, until I: 1) put in a...

Cool, thanks! I've ordered that stuff, and will see how things go. I've moved the largest two plants to the rear of the tank - I was really surprised by the size of the root systems! That was 3 days or so ago, and they seem to have survived the move. When the stuff comes in... the KNO3 ...

Cool, thanks! it's now 5-6 days later, and I'm still at 0 ammonia/nitrite/nitrate. My plants are still growing, but they seem a little "thin" and week, if you know what I mean. Would adding more fish boost the nitrate levels? Shouldn't there be some nitrates in the water, for the plants? I...

Hi, My 15g tall tank is about 3-4 months old, and a while ago I threw some Walmart bulbs into it. All three sprouted, and now I have 14"+ tall live plants in the foreground of my tank, along with the plastic plants. I never really planned to have a planted tank, but now that I've got plants...

I use www.kodakgallery.com (it used to be ofoto.com). I like it a lot. I think print quality is excellent. It's not quite as cheap as walmart (from what you all say), but they frequently have great sales that I take advantage of. I love that every photo that I've uploaded since I opened the...

My 15G tall tank has been set up for about 3 months ago, and I've been cycling with 3 female bettas. They've been happy and healthy throughout the process. I've done gazillions of water changes. Today, I tested it and got 0 for both ammonia and nitrite (YAY!), but I don't see any readings at...

no, no deep gravel vaccuuming - I did a little vaccuuming a few days ago, and the gravel seems pretty clean. (I have few fish, the tank is newer, and I don't overfeed). I have not changed the filter media since the tank was set up.

okay, I'm sorry, I can't type. My first email had a typo in it that is confusing. I have no nitrates in this tank, and haven't ever had any. For the last 3 weeks or so, I have had consistent ratings of about: 0 ammonia .25-1 nitrite 0 nitrate. At the time I wrote the first email, the...

oh - and the ph is high. And I use StressCoat to condition the water before I do any pwc. I let the water sit a day or two before I do the change. Thanks again, X

Hey, I have a 15g tall tank, w/ AC HOB filter. It's been setup since..... end of March?, but only had one fish in it until the beginning of May. For a while it had 4 female bettas in it, now it has 3 (two of the girls couldn't get along w/ eachother). It finally started cycling in the...

Yeah, me too! I just keep on doing my water changes - there are 3 female bettas in there. They seem happy and healthy, but the nitrites just won't go down. They seem to hang around between .5-1, I think. (whatever that means. light purple. ) Ammonia is pretty much gone, though. No...

I got a cute one on Ebay, for about $23 including shipping. She came from Texas, and was shipped via Priority Mail, which took two days. There are pictures of her in my gallery. X

new crowntail female w/pic! Here she is: I posted a few other pics of her, in my gallery. Her fins change color in different light; sometimes they look quite red. So far so good; she was in "isolation" (the little breeder thingee inside the tank) for about 24 hrs. Tonight I let her...

Wow, when I ordered her on Ebay and had her sent via Priority Mail, it seemed a little too easy and cheap. But she was shipped on May 16, and I just got her today ( May 18 ), and she looks spunky and healthy. Who knew it could be so easy?!? She's a crowntail with reddish fins and a whitish...

Many thanks to those of you who replied to my post asking for info about my new 15T setup! (Eclipse hood vs. AquaClear HOB, was the main question.) I got the Eclipse hood in the mail – it’s a twin tube hood that I paid approx. $63 for. It’s cool looking, but I’ve read both positive and...

Hi all, I’m new to the group. I’ve just purchased a new 15T tank, and have a few questions. I’ve had FW tanks in the past, the largest being a 37 gal with UG/HOB filtration. I had a female betta, some goldfish, and some white clouds in there, and they all did great. I really enjoyed the...
