That does work with chlorine, thats the way they use to do it before water conditioner became popular. However this method doesn't work with chloramine which a lot of peoples tap water has now.

I wouldn't use that table if I was you.

You could always add live plants.

First off I would suggest starting a fishless cycle, you can find info in my sig below on how to do that. While your waiting for your tank to cycle you will have time to research what fish you want.

Op have you considered using a sump?

Read the links in my sig below, you have a lot to learn.

A picture would help

No not right now I don't and there's been many other times I've went quiet a while without using any. I'm not condoning doing so I'm just saying thats what I do from time to time. I'll probably order some prime soon though.

Your actually suppose to add it to the bucket before dumping it in the tank unless you going to put enough in to treat the whole tank. Reason being theres a lot more water then your conditioning for so its gonna dilute it and it wont work like it should. But most people don't do this and never...

I have a feeling your going to have some aggression issues.

In the wild they live in calmer waterpool areas of highland streams. Source: http://www.loaches.com/species-index/botia-almorhae

The cheapest fix is to get a lot of live plants

I looked on a couple sites at the fishes profile and they said 55 gallon.

Correct I was just letting the OP know that it is possible to get rid of all dead spots. :good:

Not necessarily I have seen a set up that had no dead spots.

Welcome don't see any pictures though! :hi: :good:

Aren't we all :good:

Go to a near by pool store and they will have it there.

Looks good is that a bowfont? If you can get you hand on some I would suggest pool filter sand instead of play sand, pool filter sand is heaver and won't stay afloat as long as play sand will if stirred up. Doesn't really cost much more then play sand.

What size tank is that looks like a 125 or 150 gallon but pictures to small to tell

It really depends on your stock and how the filter you have now is doing, however right now you have the bare minimum when it comes to filtration for a 29. I keep larger fish and larger tanks and I believe strongly in over filtering all my tanks. If I had a 29 which I do but there empty I would...

NP :lol:

I would suggest a Emperor 400 or an AC 110 on the other side of the tank unless you wanted another canister if so another 405 would work. Your gonna have it heavily stocked your gonna need heavy filtration.

So your running a fluval 405 right now is that correct?

You edited it bro, I calculated what you originally had not what you changed it to.

As long as the plant isn't getting sucked into the filter and blocking the water then it will be fine. What size tank do you have? I'm usually a big fan of having a filter on each side of my tank.

Well according the the calculator at the top of the pages its a 198 gallon. So your tank is higher then it is longer? I have a 150 gallon with two fluval fx5's on it. For a tank your size I would really recommend a sump. It would be the cheapest and most practical way to go.

What size is the tank?

Do you plan on having the media in the filter and running? If so I don't see why not it would be no different then in a tank.

I would up the number of corys and up the number of neons. Also most people will never have a true shoal in a home aquarium what your going for is a school. This is a shoal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AyJUB_Yl70&feature=related

Do you live in the states?

Call around to all the pet stores that you would be willing to drive to and see if they would take them. Do you have pictures of them.

Keep up on the water changes until both ammonia and nitrites are 0 and feed sparingly until you have things back to normal. Id probably feed every other day.

Well if you just left the pleco in there depending on how long it was the BB would end up dying because it wouldn't get enough food it would die until there was only enough left to cover what the pleco produces. The driftwood is going to take more then a couple days to soak. If it was me doing...

Would you be able to take your fish in the fish store and pick up the piranhas at the same time that way you filters wont have to set without an ammonia source?

Don't know about the shrimp never owned any but I would imagine. What are you gonna do with the fish that are in there now

Tank might be big enough for some exodons.

Don't know anything about piranhas but just wanted to say I wouldn't mess with the water or media just put them in there. If there hasn't been any diseases lately no reason to mess with it.

Its possible really depends on the fish because each one is different. What works for one person might not work for another.You could always try but keep a close eye on it and if he starts getting nipped you'll either have to return it or put it in another tank

Honestly from my experience and many others for some reason neons just don't seem to do good unless it a very mature tank. You can give it another try and if they die this time I would suggest getting something different and waiting on the neons tell a later time. As far as letting the bag float...
