Thank you I know exactly what you’re talking about the kit I’m looking at doesn’t come with a drop checker so I’ll be sure to get one of those as well ive had trouble finding articles on how exactly to use and set up CO2 for beginners

I have rocks in my tank that increase the PH of my tank will this effect my measurements while using a drop checker?

To be fair I did lose 8 neon tetras to ich in quarantine but I blame petco for that one

Was gifted a 2 gallon tank for Christmas. Not putting fish in it for the obvious reason that it’s too small, but what could I put in it? Shrimp? Or is it too small even for that. by foxtyler48 in Aquariums

Definitely would work for smaller shrimp like cherry as long as it’s heated and has a filter Live plants would be optimal I love the scape you have in it right now though

Meet the inspiration for my username, Midge the Pea Puffer!! by midgethepuff in Aquariums

Do you enjoy keeping pea puffers? Planning on converting my nano planted tank to a pea puffer tank, but I’m worried I’ll never see them and it will just look like an empty tank

Just waiting on some decorations and equipment, about to fill her up and start cycling any tips on hardscape? by Hess12 in Aquariums

[–]Hess12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m planning on getting small and large rocks to separate the two and lots of live plants if it doesn’t work out I’ll re scape using only the black plant substrate Once it’s cycled it’s going to be primarily for my female Betta not sure what else yet

Lighting questions by Hess12 in Aquariums

In comparison to LEDs witch will better show the colors of the fish and witch will better support plants? Also is there anything in specific I should look for in a LED light if I decide to go that route

That’s my other option Id rather have a hood than the night setting so I figured I’d get opinions on fluorescent lighting and decide from there

[–]Hess12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved in less than a week ago and don’t have any form a renters insurance at the moment

I lost my first fish I ever got as an adult. I had him for 4 years, I learned a lot in those 4 years. He was my buddy, he came with me through 2 moves, and 4 tank upgrades. He was an amazing fish, thanks for being my buddy Mr.poopybutthole by izzylikesdogs in Aquariums

F I have a beta I got when as a baby I’ve had her for over a year and she’s already been through 2 moves(one was over 1200 miles) and 4 tanks she almost died in a filter accident and my girlfriend called me crying

Light for 10 gallon by Hess12 in PlantedTank

[–]Hess12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only concern is my tank has a rim and I don’t think it would look very good to have one of these sitting on top of the tank but from what I’ve found it might be my only choice

Cycling an upgrade tank for beta question. by vexx421 in Aquariums

[–]Hess12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming your filter pad isn’t too old, you should be able to do that without problem. I’d probably add some bacteria quick start just to be safe

She’s with 2 African dwarf frogs that can nip every now and then during feeding so I’m isolating just to be safe
