Excellent. Thank you! I was not aware of that so very, very helpful.

I have an old-school All-Glass hinged top and 30" fluorescent light hood on my 29 gallon. I liked the look of it, and it blew out. I could only find one bulb at Home Depot. A Phillips bulb that is supposed to be daylight, but I'm getting a lot of green accented in the water. I think the...

Added 12 Neon Tetras So now it’s 12 Neons 6 Black Skirts 1 Dwarf Gourami Really loving the Black Skirts. They are adorable and stick together in their little group. The Neons are all over the place investigating. And the Gourami is mega-chill. Just making his rounds over and over.

I'm adding things a bit at a time. So far.. 1 Dwarf Gourami (thankfully I got a pretty low-key shy one). 6 Black Skirt Tetras I took the Australian Rainbowfish to the LFS because he immediately was harassing the Gourami and the Tetras, nonstop, freaking them all out. He's been in there for...

I had a bunch of Australian Rainbows and Giant Danios, all but one Australian Rainbow has died of old age. The one rainbow has been solo now for quite a few weeks, so time to start restocking. My current rainbow is quite a few years old, and he's barely 3". I'd like to just do colorful...

I've decided to leave the current sand in there. I did a few rounds of vacuuming and turning the sand over and it looks a lot better now. And MUCH less work when switching it over. Water is clear and testing good so I'm ready to start the restock process. Will do a little at a time, will...

Thanks for sharing the photos. I definitely like both. I'm pretty sure my wife will want to stick with the white sand, so I MAY just keep rocking with what I've got and not worry about it. Fresh clean white sand would be very nice though. My depth is probably 1.5-2" at this point. Was...

My 29 gallon has white play sand in it. It's been in there for at least 15 years. I've lost count. I'm currently in a transition phase in the tank where all that remains is a single adult australian rainbow fish. The rest of my danios and rainbows died of old age. I'm taking the opportunity...

Does seem like it was a rectal prolapse. And I say WAS because it did correct itself, and that danio is doing just fine now. I just really limited their feeding for a few days. It persisted for a few days then on day 4 or 5, I forget, it had corrected itself by morning. All is well. Thanks...

One of my Giant Danios has a red fleshy looking protrusion from what looks like it's anus. Any idea what this is? It's swimming around completely normal with the other danios. It looks to me like maybe it hurt itself somehow. Not sure what to think. Any ideas? Here's another photo...

mine recently looked brownish inside and it turned out water got inside it.

All fair points. That older Aqueon pro with the blue knob has been my backup heater for years. Recently had a regular Aqueon heater fill up with water suddenly and I was glad to have it on hand so I could quickly get that water-filled heater outta there immediately and have another heater to...

I'd like to use two heaters for redundancy. I'd also like to just use what I've got. I have a 100w Aqueon Pro (the older blue knob type) and a newer 150w Aqueon Pro (with the clear knob that lights up red). Would using these together in a 29g tank be an issue? I'd run them on opposite sides...

I'm definitely going to pick one of these up. Do you find they are all pretty accurate? Any variance between the ones you have?

This might work. I do trust the non-digital ones a little more. And no batteries to have to deal with.

I see a ton of these on Amazon, but most seem to have pretty lousy reviews when it comes to accuracy. Was wondering if anyone was using a specific model that they can vouch for. Was lookin at those. thanks. how tall is it?

Is there an aquarium thermometer that has big numbers / easy to read for poor eyesight that's also accurate. I currently have one of the typical little glass thermometers in my tank. Without my reading glasses on it's useless, and with them on, I can just about make how far up the green area...

Thanks. I appreciate the advice. The issue is the Whisper filter is really, really loud. It's in the living room and it's too much to bear for any of my family. I did cut a piece of the Whisper cartridge to the shape of the basket in the Tidal 55, so though flow is impeded ever so slightly...

I have the new Tidal 55 set up. I used the included blue coarse sponge, and vertically along the rear wall of the basket I put the old cartridge back from the Whiper, then the bag of Matrix on top / in front of the top part of the Whisper cartridge. I'm getting a little bit of the bypass...

Great, thank you!
