I don't know at hand just had a look but the watts most be on the other side, but it is very bright, but I'm sure it's 60 watts, as at the time I got the tank I told the shop keeper that I will be growing real plants, this was over 2 years ago and just starting now :good: Not messing around...

I don't know a lot about cold water fish, but why add salt? salts are more for a treatment,plus gold fish are not from the sea, and goldfish should not be in a small tank you would need a big filter for the amount of waste they produce. I think if I'm right? one goldfish should be in a 20g tank...

Think he means when you need to clean your filter sponge etc clean it with the old water within your tank not clean water from your tap as this will kill off the beneficial bacteria, So when you are going to do a water change and you need your filter cleaning do the cleaning in the water you...
