New 29 Gallon....

**LuisV** · 04-13-2010, 02:36 AM

I had a Biocube 29. It started leaking. I tried to reseal and it leaked again. So I gave up on it. Brought home this 29 gallon tank and stand. Looks great, I really like it. Seems to be more room compared to the Biocube too. Although I did like the bowfront.

Thanks guys. Next trip to the store and I'll get sand. completely forgot about it when I got the tank! The old sand I have is mixed with gravel right now and it stinks!! I liked the sand so much better. Plus I hear the Cory likes it better too. Pics again when the sand is in! :)

I can't wait to see them!

The corrys to prefer sanded bottoms, although mine do fine with gravel.

Yeah. I wouldn't mind, but the sand looks so nice and it's kinda neat to see the cory move around and kick it up and even some sifts through his gills. Neat to watch. :) Also, do you recommend I have more than 1 cory in this tank? He seems to get along fine by himself? But after I got him I read that they should be in groups?

Definatley get more corrys, they are schooling fish. I would a get at least 5 more. Your tank has room for it.

Thanks. Corys it is. Don't know why I ended up with one. Probably because the people at the store have no clue what they're talking about. Now that I've joined this forum I feel like I know more than they do, and have access to WAY more knowledge as well. Thanks again.
