29 Gallon Tank Hi all!

[ClarkJ]

Hey everyone! I had a ten gallon betta tank up and running for a few years and really enjoyed it, but time and space issues put an end to that. I did a bit of spring cleaning recently and rearranged some rooms and now have an area set aside for my new 29 gallon that I couldn't say no to after finding it during a dollar per gallon sale. I'm still exploring my options but I'm interested in setting up a community tank with a lot of brightly colored freshwater fish.

I've been looking at guppies and neon tetras which are easy to find at my local fish stores so I'll probably start with them, but I'm loving the look of some of the kili fish, blue eye rainbowfish, and the rams. My tank has just started cycling so it will be a while until I have anything more than plants to show off, but I used this site to learn a lot when I had my 10 gallon and figured I'd join and share. I'm very excited to have a larger tank to work with (and I do still have my 10 gallon with all its equipment, so another betta might be in the future too)!


Right after I added the gravel and water on the new tank... kind of looks like it has a moustache, lol.

First of all, welcome! Second of all, nice aquarium!

Thank you!

I did have a question about reusing old aquarium decorations. Can I sanitize them with bleach, rinse, and then place in the tank with something like Prime?

All you need to do is rinse any old decorations in tap water and let them dry. That’s all I do anyway.

Rinsing decorations in tank water is probably safer, but either way will work.

I like to use super hot water to rinse of decorations for initial use and when they been in storage for awhile. Welcome aboard!
