My 40b has cycled and I added the fish from my 10g. Params were good,amm-0,nitrites-0 and nitrates-0. I put alot of media from another tank in here plus tank water in the canister filter. Still took 3 weeks easy, thought it would have cycled faster using media from another tank. What do you think,…
I just did my params on the 40b that’s cycling.
I added ammonia yesterday.
Today the ammonia is 8.0
Nitrite 0.50
Nitrate 0
PH 7.6
Do I do a water change? I have plants that seem to be melting, maybe ammonia is
too high. I can’t remember, it’s been a …
I’m cycling my 40b now and I am interested in wayyy tooo many fish.
I was thinking of :
Emporer Tetras – 6
Hab. Cory’s – 8(I have 5 pygmeous cory’s to add to the mix)
Whiptail Cat -1
This seems understocked to me, what else can go in with this tank? I was thinking Honey or Pearl gouramis….
I’m finally setting up a 40b that’s been sitting around waiting for me to have time.
However…I don’t have the best eye for aquascaping and contests I’m not going to win,lol.
I’m trying to get some dimention to the tank and perhaps make it look like there’s a road to the back. I’m very far from…
I’m finally setting up the 40b today. I’ve read where some people
put styrofoam under the tank. I bought a wooden stand and realized
when I put it on the stand that it doesn’t go down to the base, there is a 1and3/4″
rim going around the stand, sooo the tank would be on top of the rim and an…
Has anyone ever used the fake rock that is sometimes used on
walls or around fireplaces? I want to do a terraced effect in my
40b or possible one whole side and thought that this might be better then using heavy rock. The thought just came to me and I haven’t done much research yet. Maybe too…
A friend has a large catfish, don’t remember the name but I will post a picture.
He is living in a 125g, way too small for him. The catfish was a gift a couple years ago
at 2″. She needs to find him a home. He will go for free and has to be picked up.
Anyone interested please PM me or email…
Just got my new light fixture for my 40b. SolarMaxHE 236. It was on sale at
www.kensfish.com (http://www.kensfish.com) for $55, it’s by Deep Blue. It has an LED moonlight, strip down the middle
of the 2 bulbs which one is a 6700k mid-day and a 10,000k daylight.
Each bulb has it’s own switch and…
How long would you leave a sponge filter in your main tank
to get seeded?
Would a week be enough or 2 weeks? I’d love to get my 40b going already and I still
haven’t gotten a canister yet. Just not sure which one I want, probably an Eheim 2215, but I figured till then I have a sponge filter I…
I was wondering if an Eheim 2215 would be good enough for a
40b? Or should I just go with a 2217? I have a 2217 on a 75g with an AC 110, maybe 2217
too much for the 40b? I also need lights for this tank. I want to plant some low/moderate light plants/moss. What do you suggest? When I get a…
