Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello All~ Well I put the 55 together tonight and it looks really pretty. I have a few beefs though; for 1; the hoods it came with have no openings in the back, so how the hell do I fit the filter on it & the air pump tubes and stuuf? Do I cut the plastic off or what? I have one hood on and the other off in order to have the filter on and the other things. Why in the hell don't they cut holes in the back? :x That is the most irritating! Second I got two thermometers with it; they are strips; do they go in the tank or on the outside? Those are the only troublesome issues I have. I bought 6 feeder comets and stuck them in there. The pet store guy said to have these comets live there for a week to 2 weeks to create bacteria and cycle the tank or something, before adding the expensive african cichlids. So I have ugly, stupid comets swimming around for now. I took a pic of it, but no laughing o.k. It is a very crude start i know. I need a background and deco and more plants and stuff. I mean it, no laughing. This is gonna be challenging, but i love fishies!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~Melissa~
