I was wondering the same thing, well until now. i just remembered that i kind of hastily decided that the soil i was using may not have enough nutrients so i grabbed some of the soil around my house....

I have been doing some research and i decided to try a dirt planted tank. So i got some potting soil that ( from what i could tell didnt have any ferts) and put it in my tank, then covered it with a...

oh, ok thanks. i really didnt consider the actual space of the tank as being a factor in housing, i was more thinking in terms of water quality.

thanks for all your responses guys! =)

see you guys missed the actual question, what i was asking was if adding a sump, thus adding more water to the system, would allow me to keep the fish i already have

hmmm ok thanks for the warning, i actually think that i will take my chances and see how thinks play out, but i do have another small tank i can move one into if that does happen

I know angels like a little bigger tank but that is just not an option.
I do have a place i can rehouse the platy and possibly the neons.

ok, so in my 30 gallon tank i have:

7 harlequin rasboras
5 neon tetras
3 ottos
3 angelfish (1 big, two little)
2 mollies
1 platy
1 cory catfish

I'm kinda new to this too, but i have definitely made enough mistakes to pass along some advice.

i am not a fan of the golden dream panchax killifish. they are labeled as community which i guess...

ok, i switched my order so i will now have the 6700k bulb.

ooo man i bought a 10000k light light is that bad. I read somewhere that it was better for growing plants. and ok i can do the water changes

Oh ok thats not something i have thought of. I have pretty old lights. they are 50/50 65watt coralife. i have only one of two working. i usually leave it on about 14 hrs a day.

do you have any...

seachem flourish and API root tabs.

since the algae bloom i have basically stopped using the flourish

no, it is not exposed to any sunlight

I cycled the tank by taking everything, including: the substrate, filter decorations and fish from my cycled 10g tank and put it into my 30g tank and let the bacteria build up for a few weeks before...

Ok well before this outbreak happened i ran out of my test strips and things are a little tight so i havent bought new ones yet...
but since my aquarium is cycled i should have no nitrites or...

Im relevantly new to the keeping fish. i had a 10 gallon for about a year and i recently got a hold of a 30g. So after cycling the tank i decided to make it a planted tank. so i bought a bunch of...

i would go with ottos. i put a few in my tank and havent seen any algae since. In fact now im thinking that i may need to provide them with some other food.
