I finally have the 54 Gallon set back up and I am trying to jump start the Cycle with Tetra Safe Start Plus and Seachem Stability but I think a bunch of ammonia built up in my substrate and canister filter while it was sitting idle cause I've had it setup for 3 days and I haven't added anything...

So far the Moonlight Gourami I have has been starting to come greet me when I lay on the floor to check on them in the temporary 20 gallon. Which has been pretty cool to see. The guppies/tetras/corys mostly ignore me. I can't wait to get him back in the 54. But I'll need to get that water...

Yeah I suspected that it might be cheaper to re-buy the combo, especially since PetSmart still has it listed as $100 off. A question for you all, I have all my plants just floating in the 20 gallon with no substrate. I am still dosing thrive+ three times a week but some of those plants are...

A couple days after setting this up, we had an earthquake. The tank shifted 5 inches and sloshed out about 10 gallons, the glass top broke and fell into the tank and one of the glass panels cracked from the bottom to the top. But even with all that, I only lost one guppy and one Cardinal...

Finally moved the fish last night and got the new tank setup. We added one Platinum Guppy and a few more plants. We've landed on one Angelfish and one Moonlight Gourami as the centerpiece fish. Gonna wait a bit to make sure the cycle is still stable before adding fish though.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably pick up the Ich cure tonight.

The treatments all seem to not recommend using with inverts and talk about half dosing for fish without scales. I have the snails, corys and a bn pleco so the heat seemed the safest route. Plus some of the treatments say they can stain decor and I'd rather not have to empty my tank. Is the...

I have a cardinal tetra that white spots showed up on yesterday. It has 3-4 spots that are slightly raised, I'd show you but I can't get a photo, it's moving around too much. I haven't gotten any new fish for a while though I did get a couple nerite snails about 2 weeks ago. My tank...

I really like how it looks and how it fits snugly in the only good spot I have in my house for a tank. And since it is deeper than a standard 55 I am leaning towards putting an Angelfish or two in there once it is established with my current stock.

OK, thanks. It's sounding like a single Angelfish is my best option here. Or maybe An angelfish and a Gourami? I have read about the sickness in the Dwarf Gouramis, is that only a concern with the dwarfs? Pearl and Thick-lips were mentioned above. Do they have the same issues?

Could I do a single Angelfish and say two Powder Blue Gourami's? Or if I just did the Gourami's, how many would be ok to have? I've been reading up on Gourami's and I see a bunch of different info on how many to keep together. Another fish that looks nice is the Electric Blue Acara, Would a...

Thank you! I ordered a SunSun 404b and a bunch of Seachem Matrix to fill the trays with. I'm going to hook that to my 20 gallon and run it for a week or two to seed the media, then move it to the new tank and monitor for a few days. Since I'll keep my fish in the 20 till I am confidant the 54...

I'm looking at getting that sunsun 304b filter as well. I'm new to these canister filters, could I see what yours looks like in the cabinet to get an idea of how big it is?

Nice looking tank. What fish do you have in there?

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the info.

I am planning on getting a new heater for the big tank and once the fish are moved I'll add the heater from the 20 as a backup. I'm already planning on making this a several week process of moving my 20 to a temp location then seting up the 54 and making sure it is completely cycled and up to...

Yesterday I picked up a corner ensemble from Pet-smart. I am going to replace my current 20 gallon that we at first got for my daughter but I fell in love with the hobby. And now after being a member here for a while I want to try and do this right from the start. I'll be transferring my...

OK Thanks for the info. Leaning towards the Bolivian Rams or Angelfish at the moment. Are they best in pairs or singles? I'm liking the look of the Koi Angelfish but it says they can get up to 6", not sure the tank is big enough for two of them with the rest of the community or not. My...

Yeah I will for sure up the school size of my Corydoras, The Bolivian Rams look good, would they need to be a male and a female or could two males be together? I'm not looking to do any breeding. Had enough of that with my guppies. What about Electric Blue Rams? They look really good, would...

I am looking to upgrade my tank from a 20 to a . I'm currently at a high stocking level on my 20 and am looking to move all my fish to the new tank. I like having a community tank with a large variety of fish so I was wondering if there are any other types of fish that would be compatible with...
