My stuff arrived
I want a bigger tank, so I scrimped, begged, and saved.
$90 later and I get my shipment from Big Al’s. I got a 30″ T-5 light with 2 bulbs; it will provide about 1.3 wpg for the 29 gallon tank, an Aquaclear HOB filter, ammonia test refills (I used everything in my kit the first time I cycled the 10 gallon) and some gel-type fish food.
Next I need enough $ to get the potting soil, gravel, and plants to start things off right; about $60 should do it. Seems like a lot for a 29 gallon tank that I got used for $20, but I want it to be a real aquatic habitat…
In the meantime I’ve got to do a water change in that tank that I do have. The fish seem pretty happy if the gravel is orangy.
