I don't miss the town and I'll never go back but it's all round rolling hills and valleys. Kind of made you feel safe like arms around you... or something like that...

I am also from (but no longer there) the Pennsylvania backwoods (Bradford) and it was only a matter of time before Walmart became the major employer in much of the state. I often tell folks who have good customer service skills that there is good money to be made selling cars. However it sounds...

Roger that on the light. Much less. In my search for silk plants I found this which might do nicely for the top. https://www.marineland.com/products/plants-and-accessories/bamboo.aspx

Easy enough I'll just leave em off the list. Thank you sir, once again, for helping me to make an easy decision.

I plan on having no live plants in my tank only silk. If floating plants are good for the gourami is that just for shade/cover or would it be something that "dangles" which might give a spot to hide? I've seen some artificial foam floating lotus leaves and yes even artificial duckweed. :)

I think I agree as well. So.. if you don't mind doing a numbers check I would be grateful. I checked AQAdvisor but I know calculators should be verified by knowledgeable folks so here we go. BTW I'm taking my Aquatop 300CF back and will probably go with a Fluval 407. Byron should I be concerned...

Just an update but I went back and redid the numbers based on Seriously Fish and my chart definitely looks different. I really think the mollys are out due to their hardness needs. I think I could pull off the platys or the guppies but I'd probably have to add some tap water back to my RO water...

I ran Black Ruby Barbs for 2 years in a 29g and the never sat at the surface and were always extremely active. The only thing I can think is they are gulping oxygen as it seems like your other tank parameters are in range but I'm no expert. How is your surface water movement/agitation? As a note...

You'll get no debate from my sir as I don't know how any of this works. You taught me more about the subject in 15 minutes than I'd gathered up to this point in my life. I understand what you mean now. I think you are basically saying C is A + B but just because you reduce B it won't reduce A...

Ok so I read both articles (you didn't think I was going to... did you? :) ) and I have a question. If TDS is everything in the water and a filter removes some (TSS) why wouldn't that affect the TDS? I learned a lot. Thank you very much. :)

This is neither here nor there but I just took a look at the Neon Tetra page on Seriously Fish and compared it to the Neon Tetra page on Animal-World and going forward I'll have to use both. I have no doubt, based on the comments, that the numbers are more accurate on Seriously Fish but...

I'm making my own RO water with a Filter Direct AR122 6 Stage RO RODI filter and my tap water is the source. I'll be using Rowaphos in my Aquatop canister filter as one goal is to completely eradicate phosphates in my water as much as food/waste will allow. Thank you very much for the...

ClownLurch thank you for the information. I didn't really know the backers of Animal-World but they did have a lot of information so it was a starting point. I'm already checking out Seriously Fish right now and will update my statistics. Compatibility I've already checked but that's from a...

Thank you Naughts for checking out my post. Unfortunately I don't have that information available this time. Neither my test kit nor my RO Filter (AR122 KoolerMax) have arrived yet. I do see, though, that dGH is an important factor so I shall keep that in mind. Very much appreciate you taking...

I've chosen three fish for my new 55 gal tank and I'm looking for a fourth tank mate. I've some candidates and I'm looking for any insight folks might have as well the answer to some questions. Thank you! Tank Parameters No live plants, silk only Mostly wood hardscape and perhaps a few rocks...

This is only the second tank in my history. The first was a 29 gallon planted tank that didn't end well. I love plants and am a huge fan of aquascaping but in the end all my plants were murdered by black algae and my tank was overrun with midget ramshorn snails. I rage quit and gave all my gear...

I'm working on a 55g minimal phosphate tank and am planning to utilize RowaPhos Phosphate remover as a part of my setup. I have a nice Aquatop canister filter and will be running r/o water but on several of the review sites it's stated that RowaPhos works best in a media reactor. I don't really...
