I run one of those fixtures over my 65, but I put two 6500k daylight bulbs in it and it has really upped my plant growth.

I was able to clone my 65 gallon by using the filter from my ten. But that was a HOB filter. Not sure how you would do that with a Underground Filter. I would put the media from the new tank in the old and run it for atleast to be safe. You could also move the substrate and the decor from the...

Rocks I know it sounds dumb put cheap ( if not free) and look very natural. Not sure if you live in the city at all but if you live out in the country or near a farm, ask the farmer if you can pick through his rock pile. I'm sure he won't mind. All farmers that farm crops pull the stones out of...

Thanks everyone for the input and the advice. I plan on adding more plant it is just hard to find the kind that will thrive in such a low wpg tank. With only a 40 watt tube sitting over 65 gallons I'm a bit limited. Would love to find some java moss to throw on the driftwood but it isnt easy...

Not sure if you read the text of my first post, but I will be rounding out the schools as I lost a few to ich. My final plan is to re-introduce 5+ neons, 2 more head and tail lights, 3 otos, 3 danios, and maybe another cory. The ich took its toll, but i saved my cories, hatchets, and 2 otos...

I thought that it might belong there. If it does will a mod please move it.

After a nasty bout with ich I have decieded to redesign my tank. For those that are interested I lost my rams, one danio, two otos, and also 2 neons to the blasted white spot. I pulled out most of the fake plants and have added two more real ones as I am tired of the fake look. Also added a...

ok, Im using a med made by jungle labs made for cories and other scales fish. Will this work for the other fish to? should i dissolve the salt before adding it to the tank? As far as the quarantine time goes, I got anxious to get em in there and enjoy them in my main tank.

0,0,5 so water looks good. I have added the meds and will redose after a water change everynight. I guess I just wait and see.

Have done a water change already and the air stone is in the tank. I cant add salt to it because of the cories and otos right? Should I wait till the spots drop off to treat the tank again?

Ok so I purchased some blue rams and stuck em in my 10 gal to prepare for the 65. All was good for a week so I stuck them in the 65. Next thing I know they have ich all over them. I pull em back out hoping that I had caught it before they could spread it. I pull em them back out put em in the...

I am actually thinking about going to planted now. Only problem is I have very low wpg. Im talking 40 watts for 65 gallons Now I do have a couple of bulbs that I have dropped in and are sprouting. One I have had in there for about a month and it has grown into a never nice 10 inch plant. ?s is...

i picked up my filter and heater tonight. and will have to wait till mon to get the tank. Is it ok If i set up the filter on my ten (turn the flow all the way down) and let it run on the ten to gain some bacteria? I plan on setting up the 65 putting both filters on the 65 and then putting in...

Going to pick up tank this weekend. I think Im going to stick with gravel as sand sounds like more work to me. Anyway, how much gravel should I pick up pound wise. Could I mix this gravel with my old stuff to help the cycle that much more? Thanks in advance. On second thought, how about if i...

cool 250 huh so two like 150 on each end would be ok as i could hide them behind the drift wood

I do have the cash in hand, however I like to have everything figured out before go to buy, such as lighting, filer and heater. I would love to go with sand as I think it looks better, but does it require more upkeep? cujoho78 I see you have the filter I was looking at would you recommend that...
