Good idea, but stick with the 70watt unit, with CO2 anything will basically grow. Fishneedit, has an inexpensive unit: http://www.fishneedit.com/75w-metal-halide-pendant-ligh75.html

Prefect, CO2 with low-medium light will still provide ample growth and again light is always the best way to throttle growth, not CO2.

Dwarf Sag for sure, but here's a new one that I'm thinking of purchasing from aquabotanic, looks interesting. Lilaeopsis mauritius: http://www.aquabotanicstore.com/Micro_Sword_narrow_leaf_p/pf108.htm

oh a goldfish cant have nice things.... j/k

Since this is in the Marine section, my 20gal Fowlr uses natural Seawater from Catalina. Its $.69 a gallon, but I only need 5gal a week for water changes, so the price isnt bad, and no hassles of reconstituting R/O.

Even if Bass survive in your tap, which most likely they would, if your fishing near your home. But a 55gal is not really a suitable home to for 2 bass, you would need to plan on buying a much larger aquarium if you really care for the well-being of the fish.

Why would you put the fish tank you NEED, by the pile of free stuff on the curb? I feel bad the fish, more so than the owner.

It is definitely cheaper to get it filled yourself. I dont pay more than $20 for 10lb swaps. Plus its a good idea to find the Welding or Extinguisher supply place nearby for future use.

I would if they're ever on the west coast, I want to bring something home!

Impressive collection, I love the way you've lit/setup the tank. Wow, cant wait to see them in the 300gal.

http://www.greenleafaquariums.com/co2-diffusers.html Love this store, I've bought a pair of regulators and misc. stuff from here, cant beat the selection of plant goods.

Have you tried Plantex CSM+B, its dirt-cheap and works?

Yup, you're right about the reflectors, the shoplights are horrible about getting the light focued into the tank. And when you do get your 4x54 watt fixture, 2 bulbs will most be all the light you need, CO2 or not. I heard and seen the Sunblaze before, they're more suited for hydroponics, thats...

Stay Classy...

Try some open-cell foam, for example the foam used for mechanical filtration in the aquaclear filter. It will take alot more time for foam to clog before a stocking does.

H2O2 breaks down really fast, making it harmless to an aquarium. I spot treat halfway through an waterchange when the water is at its lowest, since I do 50% per week. This leaves a fair bit of hardscape and some plants exposed, ensuring that what I treat gets it good.

I go with the overhang, just a bit of future-proofing, or put a small nano tank next to the 30" tank, hehe.

I had really good success with H2O2, I would wait until a waterchange, so that pumps are off, then spot treat with a dosing syringe, usually within a few days, the BBA turns a bright pink and dies off. And if it was a piece of hardscape, I used Excel because its work faster and there is no plant...

I cant tell what, I'm supposed to see.

Fish tattoos arent done with a needle btw, its done with laser. I'm not condoning it btw, but its better than the dye injections, because that is on par, with being stabbed with a pencil to human. But if you want to do you part, just dont buy them, and if you see anyone eyeing them at the LFS...
