That's actually a pretty good idea. I saw an aquarium stand kinda like this at my local pet store. I just didn't think it'll be able to distribute the weight good enough. But maybe I'll get one of those stands like this and then lay a peice of plywood down under it. That's a good idea. Thank you...

Hm. Okay. This is frustrating. I guess I'm back to square 1... Is there anywhere I can get a used one online? There's not much around me, so I'll have to order something. My entire budget after buying the tank and filter is $180. I still have to buy about a dozen things...

I found a desk that I think might work, but idk if it's sturdy... I'm kinda on a budget and need something under, say, 50 US dollars. Walmart has this 'Go Green' brand desk that looks promising to me. I need it for my 20 gallon, which will be scaped with large rocks. Here is a screenshot of the...

We have hard water. I have a well, actually, so I don't know the specifics. I have a PH meter (waterproof and reccomded for fish tanks) on my supplies list. I also just broke my tibia monday, so I will not be setting the tank up yet. It was the same day my neighbor dropped the deal... So I have...

Hm. Ok. I guess maybe I will. Thank you for the suggestion!

So, I was gonna get my neighbor's fish, but the deal fell through and I have a 20 gal high with the filter and no fish. So I am considering stocking options. I was thinking 1 lyretail mollie and 6 mixed variety platys? Is this good? Is that too much? I know mollies sometimes want a little bit of...

Hm. Good idea! Thank you for the tips, I appreciate it! I actually live in a very northern state... Bordering Canada. My house temp is 72 degrees. I think that should be fine then, right?

Lol. Thank you! I agree about the LFS, especially since all I have is a PetSmart that doesn't take good care of them. I did not know that black skirt tetras are also called black widow tetras. Also, I will definitely go to seriouslyfish.com to see what plants and temperature and everything...

He is coming from an unfortunately small tank with fake decor. He has a filter, so I will collect any old filter media. I also have no local fish store near me, other than PetSmart, which does not take good care of the fish. I don't trust them at all. All I know about my water is that it is ever...

Thank you for replying to me! I have well water, and through baking soda tests I can confirm it is slightly basic. Hopefully by adding some driftwood, I can decrease it to the ideal range. What do you think? Also, the tank is 20 gallons, 24 in long, 12 in wide, 16 in tall. Comes with a hood and...

Hi! I may be getting a fish soon, and I need a little help with him. He is my neighbor's fish, but they are moving away. He needs a place to live now. He is freshwater tropical, a long fin black skirt tetra. They call him Stripey. I have no idea how to care for a fish, but id love to give him a...
