Freshwater Beginners A place where freshwater aquarium fish beginners can go to post their questions and hopefully get responses from those more experienced. Also check out the Freshwater Fish Beginner's Guide and Aquarium Setup Guides. Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Stupid dollar store!

Even if it says "pure ammonia" on the label, they are lying. when you shake it, it foams.
Off to break down and scrub a new 29 gallon.

well, you got to figure any thing in a dollar store is not worth more than $.50 due to there mark up.

I don't know about you guys but I haven't been able to find pure ammonia anywhere near me in CT. So I went the fish food route for cycling.

I usually do not use 1 dollar stores for anything. Those products are so cheap that they might be harmful for you. Yikes. Do not want to even think about it. I rather pay couple of bucks more to buy something decent.

Don't know. I just do not trust theior products. Are you sure it is "Dawn" not "Davn". They tend to mimic names so they can look like brand names. :/

I didn't think silk plants there were safe. Hmmmm.....I've been wanting to redecorate Cami's tank.

You can't beat their price on scissors! Just as sharp as more expensive ones. I have 2 daughters and scissors tend to walk away around here. lol
