The lights on my tank I am not shure what the wattage is but it is a 10gal. tank that is made by odyssea it is like a nanocube. I understand what you are saying about leting the LFS check my water and i probbley need to invest in my one test kit. The only power head that i have is a small one...
My tank is about 5months old
It is a 10gal.
They are the stock lights that came with it
I leave the lights on for about 9hrs.
The water parpmeter is good i just had them checked
I use RO/DI
Some of the sand is starting to brown spots in it not shore what is causing it i leave my lights on for 9 hours a day.My water conditinons seem to be ok i have hermits and asteria snails.
I bought a new hairy shroom last night and put in my 10 gal. and i found a tiny white starfish not for shure what kind it is but i hope that my fish don't eat it. :wlift I just i would share that with everybody :lol3:
I think that you should go with a glass tank I have a glass 10gal Odyssea and I love it. The lighting and the filter a both built in like a nonocube and I have not had any problems with it. :-)
good luck
I think that I have bugs in my tank they are very small and look like ants but they are white and i seen them on my glass. Is this bad is there somthing wrong? I aslo seen two things that look like snails but they did not have shells and they were also white?
I get it from our saltwater fish store it cost about 30 cents a gallon and i only need a gallon and its on my way home. Thanks for the info.but does it need to have flow to stay good?
