Thanks for your help.    When I add the water, I add the Conditioner.  Do I also add Stress Zyme?   Sorry, but I am trying to get my head around everything I have to remember to do.  I have just finished ordering the Python, so want to be prepared to use it properly, and keep my tank healthy.

Thankyou fluttermoth,    This is good to know.    Forgot how expensive this hobby can be when just starting out, and really don't want to purchase things that aren't necessary.  Would rather save the extra money to spend on fish when the time is right.

Thanks for posting this.  Very helpful information.

I was considering purchasing one of those Python hoses that you use to clean the gravel and do the water changes.     Just wondering about when you add the water back into the tank.  I have been using a bucket, and add the water treatment to the bucket, then dump the treated water into the...

My tank has been set up now for about three weeks, still going through the cycle process.  Waiting for our fish guy at my place of work to come clean our tank, so that I can get something from the work tank to help mine, as it has been running for over 10 years.   But in the meantime, what API...

I have just received a ship by mail for my tank,but it is broken. What can I safely use to fix it?

Thanks for your answer Nin.  My son also loves your tank.  He really likes the theme, and is now saying we need to do something like yours.  I wish I would have thought of the black bottom, as it shows everything off so nice.  Maybe one day we can change things up, but will keep what we have for...

Thanks for the reminder. I have read that and understand the importance of cycling and that is why we don't have any fish yet.

Wow, I love your tank.  Looks incredible. Being a newbie after so many years being out of the hobby, I had a couple questions if you don't mind.   My son really wants to put his Betta in my 35 gallon tank, once we can add fish.  (Still going through the cycle process) Is it ok to add a Betta, if...

I joined your forum last week and have learned a lot.   I just recently set up a new to me 35 Gallon aqaurium.  About 8 years ago we sold our aquarium after having it for 10 years.  But now have the itch to get back in the hobby.  And my son is getting excited as well.  I catch him sitting...

Well I got really lucky with the set up we found.  Got a 35 gallon, with stand, and everything needed.  Just need to get the stuff for the cycle tomorrow, and the inserts for the filter.  We scrubbed everything really good and have set everything up, and filled with water for today.   There are...

Glad to know I can find the ammonia at Walmart.  I had a feeling that was going to be my biggest challenge.   I live near a Paulmac's Pet Store and a new Petsmart that just opening this year.  And I am about a half hour from Big Al's.  Do you have any suggestions on the best place for fish and...

Thanks for the welcome.  Yes I have read, and re-read about cycling.  Something I was unaware of so many years ago, but glad I am now. Will wait to see what the new setup comes with, as far as supplies, and then will start my list and probably hit the pet store tomorrow after work, to get...

First I have to say I have enjoyed your forum.  I stumbled across it when looking for information an a Betta for my son. Then I started checking things out, and got the itch to set up an aquarium again.    We had one for about 10 years, but packed it up about 8  years ago.  I am happy to say...
