Hey all, been a while since I had fish and glad to find a site like this. This is the biggest tank I ever had, 36gal bow front. Did the 24 hr cycle per petsmart reps and now wish I had been here first.
Whole reason for tank is wife has stage 4 breast cancer and wants some color and life around. Currently we have 3 tetras, 2 glo fish and 2 Dalmatian mollies. The mollies have been kinda down the last 24 hours so I got a master kit and checked water, in tolerable levels. Pulled about 5 gal out and conditioned 5 to o in. They are kinda coming back so hope I am working that way. Also added some kosher salt and went from the cheap filter that cam with tank to a fluval u4. Bought extra pellets for bacteria bin and hope to get those thriving soon!
Have a pump working a coliseum with small air rock and a 8 strand of LEDs with air tube so I should have some oxygen in the water. I have them both on individual valves to cut them down some.
Wife also wanted live p,ants so we have a few in with a white sand bottom. Only been about 2 days so hopefully I won't kill these guys!
Will get pics up as possible.
Oh yeah, we also have a 6 month old bengal cat, and she has been eying the tank a few times. Have tank on stand with nothing around, but we keep a good watch on her. Till later...
