  1. New member here. In the process of starting up my first aquarium. A co-worker gave me a 55gal tank for free. Just bought a stand for it yesterday. Hopefully I'll get it setup this weekend. I've wanted an aquarium ever since I can remember.

    I've been doing lots of research and I thought this forum would be informative.

    Thanks.

  3. Hey Buddy ,

    Sounds like my story. I learn the a lot from Fish stor and from net any problem you have go and Google it.

    Some sites I got and likt it is there.

    http://aqualandpetsplus.com/Bug,%20Snails,%20Mystery.htm

    Click on ant link in there on sdes this whole page is full of info.

    Sounds like you need lots of chemecals in your tank talk to Fish store sales guys and older guy would be better when you buy all those items they will give you all info.

    Best way to do is make a spare tank, it with fresh water and leave air buble in there and leave it for 24- 48 hours and then you can use the water for 25 % or 50 % change because Clorine will be out of there.

    For new tank before you put any fish in there add water conditioner and some other chamecals in there.

    Put some plants in there BUT make sure that no Small snail in there.

    They can populate like any thing and block you filter and fish can be dead with in 24 hours I heard those stories.

    Make sure you use the Heater and maintain the tempreture acording to fish chart.

    You can Email me I will help you out as much as I can.
