| New to you but far from new
Hi, I just registered a few days ago and was unable to login with Safari so here I am on IE. I am a retired Locomotive Engineer(CNR), had fish when I was a kid and started up again a few years ago, when was the nitrogen cycle discovered?
I have had a 5G/Aquaclear Mini in a reinforced Ikea bookshelf for about 4 yrs and have managed fairly well. A couple weeks back I was whining to the my fish guy that I had nowhere for a larger tank. Of course he points out that I could fit a tall 20 (turns out it is only 15 so my dreams of a pair of Blue Rams are gone, well kinda) with an Eclipse System 1 into the bookshelf. He had a used Eclipse for 20% of new so I went for it and built a beefier stand in the bookshelf for the new tank. I am pretty well ready for setup, checked tank for leaks, but have one question to keep me going. Given the tall tank the filter intake sits about mid-tank, is that OK or should I find a way to extend it closer to the bottom? I have many more Q's but will try to ask them in the appropriate area,
Thx
Wabash
P.S. I live in B.C but want to visit the "Old Country" one day, hence the Ukrainian flag,

| Welcome to Fish Lore 
I don't think the nitrogen cycle was discovered as much as research was done to find out what changes a new tank goes through and the effects on the fish. 
Mid level should be fine for your intake.
Glad to have you here, enjoy the forum. |

| Welcome to Fishlore!
The nitrogen cycle actually was likely discovered in the water treatment industry, giving name and logic to the process that fishkeepers have been working out over the past few decades. | |

| I'm using 3.2.1 I can login, it goes to that thanks for logging in page then back to the forum page but shows that I am not logged. I'll try "tossing my cookies" and see if that helps.
EDIT: That did it, I'm now able to login with Safari.

As for the 5, my brother has expressed some interest so I think I will give it to him. What would you put in a spare 5G ?
My current favorite is the Black neon tetra and I am so looking forward to a school of 11 of them in the 20G. | |

Welcome to FishLore wabash
For your Mac consider downloading Firefox - works great for me (I've never tried logging in with Safari actually) | |

| I'd put a betta or a dwarf puffer. I'm setting up a divided ten gallon so that I can have both! | |
