Thanks for the replys.

The kit is brand new, bought it the same day I started my cycle. It's an API master test kit, which is the recommended one from what I've seen around here.

I am shaking...

Hey all,

I've had my tank going for about 10 days now. Added pure ammonia at the start to 5 ppm. Here's my issue: Once on about day 5 the ammonia dropped so I added more. I figured that meant it...

German Blue Ram Cichlid. Only reason I know is because I've seen them mentioned around here before.

I really like the cardinals idea, but after hitting the local stores (big als, petsmart and petco, hell even walmart) I can't seem to find cardinals anywhere, which is why I mentioned neons instead....

Ok, I've solved the lighting problem, and while I was doing that I had a good look at some fish. I've got two possible avenues in mind after having a look and would like opinions and how many of each...

Dimensions are 29.5 x 12.5 x 14 (l x w x h).

As far as plants go I don't see myself going planted on this tank, at least if I do it'll be a while yet before I go that way (1-1.5 years at minimum,...

Hey everyone!

Santa was good to me and brought me the stand and the filter I wanted so I went ahead and spent some cash today and got my tank set up. Tested the water before I added anything and...

Thanks for the list Dave, gonna have to check a few of these out.

Wow! What a change. Your Oscar looks better and better by the day. I'm not huge on Albinos generally (dunno why) but that is a fish I would keep. Awesome oranges and blacks on it.

Looks like a happy and healthy Oscar to me. Good job recouperating it!

Your oscar has some awesome color on it. Thanks for sharing the pic!

Nice Oscar!

Wow! Now that would be a sight to see.

Now that has me thinking. A massive school (for the size of the tank anyways) of tetras swimming around would be rather cool.

Not starting until then as I am getting the tank stand and filter for Christmas from the family, and I'd rather not move the tank from one stand to another. Also, that will give me time to get things...

Thanks! Sounds like a good plan to me...still might sub the tetras for rasboras, just doing some more research into rasboras to see what I think. I'm not likely starting the cycle until after...

Just got the tank and it's in good shape, although in need of a good cleaning. It's water testing right now, going to leave it overnight and see how it looks in the morning. It looks like it has an...

Thanks! I too have seen Pulp Fiction far more times than any one person should.

Heh, are you trying to encourage Extra Tank Syndrome? (I think that's what you guys call it)

That's what I figured. It seemed strange to me to add a full school of fish at a time, and that's what I had read somewhere. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Also just did a little browsing...

Yep after I get it I'm going to take a hard look at it and leave it with water in it in a safe place overnight to make sure she still holds water. Worse comes to worse I know a few guys who...

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, research is being done. Going to start with a fishless cycle but still deciding what to put in when, and how many of each to get. I do believe I read somewhere that its...

Hey all,

In my last thread I was saying that I was looking at getting a 20 gallon as my first tank. Well, after browsing some classifieds, I found a 30 gallon with most of the needed equipment for...

Very informative! Awesome looking tank as well :D

I thought test kits expired, and seems as I'm not going to be even getting the tank until January (unless I crack and splurge on it) I figured I would wait until I got the tank to get the test kits....
