I did, it won't be here until end of day Tuesday.

I bought a Aquatic Life Marquis Freshwater Aquarium Light Fixture 30-Inch T5 HO with 2-Lamps and Timer off Amazon and it arrived and doesn't work. I set it up and it worked for 30 seconds and now doesn't work at all. I just picked up a ton of plants today and need a light! I'll be hitting up stores tomorrow in Calgary to try to find a replacement. Any suggestions on places that will have good stock? I need a 30". No led stuff suggestions please. The $145 price tag was really nice, but not if it doesn't work!

I'm thinking of changing my substrate. I'm not in love with it. I currently have soil topped with play sand and I want to switch to straight pool sand. How would this affect my plants? My understanding is the soil becomes a living soil, will the sand only do the same? Pro's/Con's?

Thanks!

I can't remember the name of it!

I like the look of them too! But I read they do not do well in tanks dosed with liquid carbon supplements and I use Excel Flourish at water change.

Do you know where I can purchase locally?

I need to spice up my 10G tank! It is about 8 or 9 months old now? Open to suggestions for new plants (locally only please) and if you want to remind me of my plants names that be awesome too! Sorry for blurry pics, I'm not the best at picture taking, The stem plant on the right was just trimmed. I'm not much of a fan of the roots growing from the bottom of some of the plants. I just don't like the look. Any suggestions on different plants that don't do this that are still faster growing to maintain balance?

Thanks flyfisher! I just may have to take a gander next month and maybe get some cardinal tetra's! I'm not in any rush at all.

Thanks guys! I'd LOVE to have a school of Cardinal Tetra's! Like, seriously LOVE to.. I just can't justify 5 bucks each atm.

I'm looking to change my tank a bit and need some help finding some mid tank swimmers! I currently have WCM and they are always at the top. (yes, I know they are technically cold water fish.. Spare me please) The WCM would be coming out and being replaced by said fish! So they would be sharing a 10G with 4 Kuhli's, 2 rabbit snails, RCS, and mics other snails in a medium planted NPT environment. Only looking for 1 species and would prefer a smaller size and schooling fish. I've added a picture of the tank as it is right now.. Sorry, crappy pic, it is too bright right now to get a good one! I'd prefer to be able to purchase locally, or through a group order here. Thanks!

k! Thanks!!

K! Makes it easier then! Should I feed a bit more to make sure they can get some 'extra's'? For the other's that are in the tank they get leftovers of flake food, frozen blood worms, freeze dried brine shrimp, and some sort of pellet food I got from ckmullin that I forget what it is called.

So, I have a bunch of RCS and some others that were sold to me as RCS but they aren't red.. LOL! They are dark brown with a lighter brown strip down the middle! Well, while doing a water change tonight I noticed a bunch of babies! Do I have to do anything for them? Special food? I'm surprised they are still around as I have 4 Kuhli's in there! I'm not going to try to catch them as I have a moderately planted tank. :S

Thanks everyone! Will go searching this weekend.
