    New Tank and need help! Swirling particles in tanks water.

    I trimmed some plants last night and cleaned off some gravel and removed some bubbles of decorations last night and today my tank is a little more cloudy than it was before. Is this a good thing?

    New Tank and need help! Swirling particles in tanks water.

    Thanks for the link. When i get some time i will try to read. I put in API Quick Start with tap conditioner and wanted to put fish in 24 hours after i set it up. The particles look just like the little tiny bubbles. So my thinking to add Polyfill to the tank is the only way to remove them...

    75/90/110g moving up questions regarding ammonia etc.?

    I just bought a 75g new tank and stand from Petsmart for $315 total. I realized afterwards that a Tropical Aquarium place an hour away from me sells a 75 gallon deep blue tank for $110 when i paid $175 on sale for a Topfin. I am thinking I can use same footprint and go to a 90G for $185-Deep...

    $1 per gallon

    That's a little bit scary. I bet it is probably normal though. The way I was looking at it if I go big with 4 foot long and 18" deep I might as well go a little bigger to 150 -200 gallon for not much bigger space if I can find one for 5' long x 24" deep. Then it would still go in the same place...

Should I return for used/new 75g complete setup I just bought the 40g breeder from Petco on this sale and am having a hard time locating a lid that will work. I am pretty sure the glass lid has to be one piece bc the Tetra tank doesn't have middle support...
