Width: 26.5", Height: 15" Depth: 13" the water is fairly hard but I have peat available to soften it

Hi I have recently decided to get back into keeping tropical fish and I would like to get some ideas from the community. I have a 20 gallon tank with lighting and plants with either a Fluval 305 external filter or a combination of two internal filters (depending on what fits under the tank) I...

I haven't yet, still planning the tank 1. I would of if I could, I have used peat and that PH down stuff, none of it has had any effect, but all the fish/invertabrets I've chosen have been specified to tollerate a ph of 8 in caresheets. And yes the substrate is childs play sand

Hi, I have a 17 gallon tank at ph of 8 (that doesn't seem to be open for change) it has a fluval U2 filter, is this community ok? can I add anything? should I take anything out? what order shall I introduce them to the tank? 6 Glowlight tetras 3 Zebra nerite snails 4 Amano shrimp 2 Dwarf gourami...

I have heard that, but aren't they also quite sensitive as well? if so I don't think I could keep them, my tapwater's PH is ungodly and also, if I'm honest, I am really not good at remembering weekly water changes

that's exactly what I was looking for, thanks :) Yeah I was thinking glowlights but I've always liked X-ray tetras and seeing as they are pretty much the same size and I don't plan to have any long finned fish currently I'm swaying more towards X-rays. My LFS isn't exactly good enough to have...

Ok so I am stocking it for 17 gallon (because I'm pretty sure it is and if not I got pretty good filteration and it is only 2 extra gallons) I've been thinking of 6 X-ray tetras and 1 dwarf gourami. I would quite like some sort of catfish (either a pleco or some other sort of glass sucker or...

Oh also shrimp are kind of a must but they don't exactly have a massive physical or chemical precense so they wont be much of a problem

I have pretty good filteration (fluval u2 I do believe) I plan to have it heavily planted but unfortunately plants die a lot with me so I sense this may not be a permanent arrangement haha. I appreciate the suggestion dude, any suggestions in terms of tetras? don't be afraid to make it a long...

I'm from the UK but I'm not sure which is the typical type of gallon that people refer to. I'm only assuming it's the U.S gallon because the majority of people are from the US as opposed to the UK ;)

Sorry, not entirely sure about the dimensions, I will measure them tommorow. but in litres the tank holds 65 if that helps at all. I'm pretty sure the tank is actually 17 gallons rather than 15, sorry about that

I appreciate the response. I'm just interested into what type of gallons we're talking about here? it is 15 UK gallons but 17 US gallons. I have never seen that site before but it looks good, thanks for the link. And don't worry I'm not new to this (despite only recently joining the forums) I...

Hi, I am starting up a new tank (15 gallon as the title says) my tap water is pretty hard (ph of 8) and I am currently cycling it. I can change the ph with peat and ph down but I would first like to know my stocking options for its current state. thanks
