seachem flourish excel (liquid carbon) helps a lot. I've considered a c02 set up but haven't gone there yet. I also keep the insulated drapes closed part of the time. I have a 75gal with windows all across the back and on one end. I live in the Midwest. Tank is in west window.

What a coincidence ! I haven't been on in months but got on to research how to get rid of cyanobacteria and saw this. I decided last week to get a dwarf puffer but of course now they aren't at any of the stores..... i'll be following this to see how your baby does !! I read they "pick" their sex as they grow. If one of several starts producing the male hormone the others will be female. A truly interesting little fish !

I think you have too many in that tank. i'll take one or two ....hehee....

thanks i'll order some !

it's out ..Thanks for the advice !! I've got blood worms and will get some of the betta food. What's NLS ?

I just got a betta. I've had goldies for a few years now. It was a spur of the moment adoption. Unfortunately...from Walmart ! I have some Repashy Soilent Green. I put a little cube of it in last night but it hasn't been touched. How long can that remain in there? Should I just take it out and try another one this evening? She's been hiding in the plants since I put her in the 10 gal.

Thanks for the link ! Just ordered some

I'm sorry I don't. I think it came with an aquarium I bought. It's at least 3 years old. I would think they would all be pretty much the same. http://www.1000bulbs.com/product/95309/GROW-AS4RD.html?utm_source=SmartFeedGoogleBase&utm_medium=Shopping&utm_term=GROW-AS4RD&utm_content=Air+Stones&utm_campaign=SmartFeedGoogleBaseShopping&gclid=COrG-sWt4rwCFSFo7AodyHQAMA above is page I got the pic from. it looks almost exactly like mine. I just searched air stone. I've never ordered from that site before.

I use the tetra whisper ap150 in my 75 with airstone like the one below. It creates a large rolling surface agitation....almost like boiling water.

Thanks !

Wow it's fantastic ! Makes me want to empty my tank and do the same. For now I have black drapes hanging behind.

More pics please

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have no idea if the tank it came from was healthy or not.

I wasn't sure where to post this so please move if this isn't correct place. I have some sand that came with a used tank I bought a few years ago. It's been sitting around because I was afraid to use it. I have not idea what kind it is. It's a light greyish white with some black in it. I was going to just dump it in the garden but my daughter thought it was worth keeping. Is it possible to sterilize this and use?

Maybe a sky background? ...of course fish don't swim in the sky LOL...
