>why is a 20g high a bad place to start?
I originally thought that a 20g-high tank was 20" wide; but a 20g-high is 24" wide, while a extra-high has a 20" width. When buying lights, you'll have a much easier time finding fixtures in increments of 12".
My first reef tank was a 29g, which I think is a perfect starting size, but a finding 30" lights at the time was a pain.
>Im not looking to go BIG. i already have big for fresh water, and thats where im sticking since i have this tank as an extra and want to make use of it.
Just pushing the concept that the larger the tank is, the more stable it is. Go with largest tank your available space and finances allow.
>I plan on educating myself as much before i start, so i know where to start as well, so all opinions are great, thanks!
Awesome starter book: The New Marine Aquarium: Step-By-Step Setup & Stocking Guide
>And as far as patient, yes i plan on it. Looking for something that will slowly become a beauty, and something i can just sit back and watch life take over really. I plan on maybe 2 or 3 fish if that, small, a few shrimp or a star fish, and some coral, but i realize there are fish that destroy coral so im learning which are good which arent.
One of my beliefs is if you want a fish tank, build a fish tank. If you want a reef tank, build a reef tank. Try to pick fish based on how they can help maintain your reef, not just look cool. I love me some gobies and blennies.
Think about starting with soft corals. Zoonathids, Green Star Polyps, leathers and mushrooms are all great starting corrals.
>Why do you say bare bottom to start with also? I also want to have this as a self filtration tank also, that requires less maintenance once its stable and set.
I like bare bottoms because they're very easy to clean. If you really want to have substrate, I would still recommend going bare until after your rock is fully cured.
Oh, cool, gotcha! Man, so many ideas... it'd be cool to have a 5 - 10 gallon betta fish tank. They're so curious about their surroundings and so colorful that I feel like they would keep a child's attention...
Or, if you had the space, a giant (like > 60 gallon) fancy goldfish tank. They're so peaceful to watch, and have great personalities. Plus, if you take care of them well, they live practically forever! And apparently can learn tricks
A friend of mine recently set up a 20 gallon long with some glofish for her daughter. It's pretty sweet - provided you're into the 'fake' look hahaha! For what it is, I think it looks neat, and her daughter is mesmerized.
The nice thing is that these fish are all pretty hardy :)
move the fish to a cup with clean water (bottled water ideal, or if its tap water, let it sit an hour or two to adjust to the room temperature)
then, empty that fish tank using a small bucket or cups of water.. whatever u have to do. then when its light enough to carry, dump the rest of the water outside or in the toilet and wash the tank real good in the tub. u can use bleach if u want, but make sure u rinse it for a full 5 minutes with water to make sure its clean. Any leftover cleaners can kill the fish.
look on amazon or at walmart for a cheap power filter. they are easy to use and work great. example: https://www.amazon.com/Tetra-Whisper-Power-Filter-Three-Stage/dp/B001CHXJSK/
you hang it right on the edge of your tank. it'll replace the built-in filter, and it will work fine with what you have. you'll never have dirty water again and since u only have 1 fish, you'll only have to change the filter floss a couple times a year. make sure you dont overfeed the fish. only feed enough, so that everything is eaten within 5 minutes. if there is food left over after 5 minutes, you are feeding too much
good luck
Would not do neons, that's a lot of fish for a very little tank, and neons are very active and like swimming space, so they'd get stressed in a 5 gallon. Generally, the minimum footprint recommended for them to be healthy in is a 20 gallon long tank. In a 5 gallon, almost all of your options are just single fish, such as a betta or a pea puffer.
Something not included with the tank that you'll need for pretty much any fish you want is a heater and a thermometer. This is one of the cheapest heaters I've found, that is still adjustable and works well.
If it's a male Betta fish, I would NOT recommend putting anything else in the tank with him, your results may vary but Betta's are by and large solitary fish. Don't know about the snail, but you may run the risk of introducing disease/fungus to him by putting snails in his tank. Leave him alone, put a plant or two in there, and keep his water clean and he will be happy. I highly recommend feeding him Hikkari pellets (follow the directions and do NOT overfeed!).
Good luck!
I use Python brand gravel siphons and have no complaints. The small is $5 on Amazon; large is $10. Their squeeze bulb siphon starter is a great add-on for $6 and I think they're totally worth the extra cost.
This 44 second video shows how deep gravel cleaning looks. I don't do it much as my tanks are planted but it's not hard to do. Just get the siphon going and push into the gravel, suck until the water coming up starts to become clear, then let the gravel out and push down elsewhere. It's kind of fun. 😊
GE Silicone I is safe to use but you have to let it cure 3+ days. You'd have to move the fish elsewhere in the meantime. A food-safe plastic tub (look for recycle number 2, 4, or 5) will do as long as it hasn't been exposed to chemicals or anything like that.
It's mostly prefrence, I like sponge filters because you don't have to keep buying new filter cartridges. The only disadvantage I can think of is sponge filters keep their beneficial bacteria colonies while cartridge filters loose those colonies every time the filter cartridge is replaced.
This is the filter I use for my 20G community tank and I love it. Aquarium Air Pump Sponge Bio Filter,Upettools Silent Mechanical And Biological High Density Foam Purifier Filtration Fish Tank Water Fall Air Pump. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4JYC5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_q3RDDb0B33BJG
Ok, I'll go ahead and let ammonia drop to 0 ppm before dosing it back up again.
For the filter, I probably should've done a bit more research. The filter cartridges seem to be both filter floss and carbon filtration. So, in replacing the cartridge, I'd be throwing out a substantial percentage of my bacterial colony, right? However, the filter does have a biowheel spinning out front, where supposedly a large percentage of the colony is housed. I would hope that changing the cartridge won't set back the cycle too much.
Here's a link to the finnex one:

Like I said on the post looking for people who might have experience with these and could recommend one over the other, or another one entirely.
API Fungus Cure Powder, will turn your tank green, but works if he is not to far gone. Follow directions on the back of the packet. I have added the link below so you can see what it looks like and maybe pick it up at your LFS.

If you go to a local pet store they might be able to give you some cycled water or some filter media that you can put in. Don't put a goldfish in there, it will just stress out your remaining fish even more. If you can, get some Prime and some Stress Coat and add them to your tank. You will also need to get a test kit so that you can check the water parameters in your tank. Once you know what the parameters are, get back to us and I can give you some more specific information on how to level it out. (If you can't find a water test kit like the one shown, test strips are better than nothing but I would order a kit ASAP.)
I've used the Rena automatic feeder for about 4 years now. The main reason I bought this one is because it has a light sensor you can turn on so that it doesn't feed at night and it has a small heater built into the drum so that the food stays fresh.

Ahh, I see. They really don't need that much support on the bottom. The glass is really strong as long as the weight is evenly distributed.
Now you have me wondering if it's possible for a long tank to bow and break if you pick it up from the ends. Too bad Mythbusters is done.
I was looking at those but the cascade is the same price.... Cascade CCF3UL Canister Filter For Large Aquariums and Fish Tanks - Up To 100 Gallons, Filters 265 GPH https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002DJ9NY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RrURDbG3PD113
https://www.amazon.com/Hikari-Tropical-Sinking-Catfish-Loaches/dp/B00025JZAE?th=1 This stuff will sink and takes a while to dissolve. Fish out the leftovers after maybe 2 hours because it will be a lot for so few fish.

Easiest way to do water changes I've found is with a water siphon with faucet adapter. here is a "cheap" one on amazon
African Cichlids are very territorial. Don't waste your money on other varieties of fish without doing research.. those cichlids will kill them most likely. I've had Jack Dempsey co-habitat.
give them several places to hide, rocks and pots plants are cheap/easy decor.
