Yeah I'll probably just try to get some general decor and maybe a plant or two and just wait and see what comes around. Thanks again for all the help!!

    That tube should be good as far as spectrum.  I assume this is over the 36g tank (not the 55g).  So the fixture is regular fluorescent, taking a 24-inch tube.  This is the same as my 39g.   First thing, tubes do wear out.  As they burn, the intensity they emit reduces, quite a bit, and they...

  This is a perfect approach.  So many build an aquascape they want, without regard for the fish that have to "live" with it.  And many fish have specific needs, according to their natural habitats.   First, I would suggest sand for the substrate, as this is something that substrate fish need...

So all I could find was total hardness (81.) Here's what I found maybe you can see something I don't? http://www.amwater.com/ccr/kanawhavalley.pdf

Hi, so my mom passed away 2 years ago and i just now decided to try out her passion with fish, I got her 55 gallon goldfish tank up and running with 5 fish in there currently. She had a 36 gallon that had a leak. I just removed the silicone and re sealed it. In a week i'll be looking to fill it...
