You are too funny!!

Thanks, what an excellent idea on the background!!! I actually have sticky back velcro here:) I just finished scraping old scotch tape off the tank from what I assume was a printed laminated background. The possibilities with velcro are endless, cool:) The plants are the cheapest of the...

Phew!! I was worried about posting about Glofish:) Pic from my phone, not great but an idea, yes, there is a blue one and a pink one on the other side of the AQ. Mesh bags hold the seasoned filter media from the old canister filter, both floss and ceramic hexs. Too bad I did not paint the...

The remaining fish from from the unfortunate March shipment are healthy and doing well in little 5 gal all in one aq (thumbs up). Dear husband and my lil one were in a bigger town with a fish shop last week and brought home some glofish. They are doing well. I am not a fan of gimmick fish (or...

Back in the day I had almost 30 tanks, I used black "shatterproof" submersibles in every single one. I never had one fail. I have looked for them now that I am back in the hobby after a long time, but yikes they are more expensive than I remember. On the other hand, probably worth the $$ for...

Have you tested or had the water tested?

Thanks @Belltrain :) I looked again this morning, in daylight, the nitrates are closer to 2.5ppm, not 0 but not 5. This is a new tank, but I took ceramic hex's and some floss from the previous 55gal canister and put them in the back of this little all in one aq. I have also been dosing...

Tonight, ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 0 Ph over 7.6

Hi, thanks!! I do not see any ich on these 3 remaining Penguins. Plastic plant was in the back but the circulation moved it up front and the fish don't seem to mind. Yes, the 3 remaining PENGUINS (lol) all look good, slime coat and scales are good from what I see, and they are all eating...

How fun, have a blast and keep us updated!!

Thanks!! I am going to try the Tetra one , should be here in a few days:)

Not that I can see, though they may be weak from the high nitrates they are acting pretty normal. Here is the full tank shot, blue light still on but it was taken during the daytime. Thanks for any suggestion:)

That would be a grammatical error on my part. In the past I have used Penguin biowheel hang over the back filters. I just checked my email order confirmation, they are infact penguin tetras, sorry for the confusion:)

I took a new pic to post, lil one then wanted center stage and hijacked my phone LOLOLOL!! I will post it later:)

I had atleast 50' of surgical tubing using the python adapters, not sure about your situation but an outside lawn hose reel worked well for me, plus I could drain it well after each using the turning of the wheel. If this gives you any DIY ideas:)

I apologize @Rbishop for another post on a common question, I searched 4 times under different search words and the newest I found was 2014, I hope this is ok.

Thanks in advance. So many options since I was last in the game. Also there is now pond BB?

Here is last night, I had the lights on the blue "moonlight" setting. They seem happy:)

Hi Tanker, I was able to get the temp almost perfect with my previous set up. I used to put my hand around the hose where it was attached to the sink to get it close by feeling, after the hose was full of the right temp water I would go check in the aq, it was easy to tell if the new water...

Thanks everybody:) After all the indecision and wavering, I now have 3 emporer tetras and a BN in a 5 gal tank though not on purpose..... That should be fine for now. I will get the 55 going again soon.
