Yeah, a week or two definitely. Add the schoolers first, then add the betta a week or so after. Idk... I might consider using the hex as a QT lol.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

noo not my hex! and shouldn't the betta be first its most territorial

Lol, I didn't think so you always put the most territorial last. That way the new guys aren't "invading" the bettas property, therefore minimizing aggression.

Probably. They might even school together!

thatd be cool, hey why isn't my dw leaching tannins?

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

in the next few weeks i may want to give some star grass trimmings away just a heads up also why isnt my dw leaching tannins? i only boiled it for 5-10min

 

[Homedog98]

Some driftwood never leaches. So lucky you! Lol. Mine didn't leach either... Just grew some weird stuff lol. Yours probably won't do that though since you bought it.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

i wanted it to leach lol it did when i boiled it...maybe im not seeing anything because my filters jam packed with filter material and thats taking the tannins out

Remove any carbon... That aughta do it.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

nope no carbon i took it all out when i started dosing ferts

 

[Homedog98]

O... Then yeah... Yours just doesn't have tannins I guess. I'm sure there are lots of members here that would LOVE to trade with you if you really want tannins lol.

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

im thinking of getting a fluval 105 because im working at the store and might be able to knock down the price even still i kinda want a canister or would i be better off gettin an AC50-70 which is cheaper but still good

 

[Homedog98]

I'm no good at canisters lol. I'd go with HOB though since it's such a small tank

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

105 is rated up to 25g i also want to upgrade to a 20-25g but i just cant afford a new light so im stuck with the 15

Ok then... Your obviously better at this then me lol. I'm a fan of HOB on anything under 55 gallons. It's just easier IMO. But hey, go for it if you can get a discount!

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

lol itd stiill be expensive base price ranges from 95-120. what kind of AC would be good and its not over kill is it

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

hey guys gals what's this white fuzz on my dw?
