    Hi.:bigsmile:

    Best: Buy yourself a timer for your lights.

    Worst: Do a 3 day blackout on your tank to get rid of algae.


    Guys and girls do not be shy.:laugh:


    Kind Regards, Dewald

    Best: I think that tank looks too small for that table. Maybe you should get a bigger one
    Worst: But, you will have to get rid of one of the other tanks

    Best : Get the best filtration that you can afford.
    Worst : Tinfoil Barbs fits into a planted community tank without problems. (Rude awakening for some neons)

    Best:
    You keep water, not fish. Take care of that.
    The solution to pollution is dilution.
    Just because you can do it, it doesn't mean you should do it.

    Worst:
    Any salt can be used for a brackish tank!
    To test for electrical leakage, put your hand in the tank to be sure.
    Become a TASA mod, it's fun! :p

    Best:

    Goldfish make good friends for a Betta.

    Best news: you can have a fish room in our new home :)
    Worst news: you've got to move your 1.8m tank down 16 steep stairs to get to the house entrance :(
