Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I'll make the whole damn world jealous if given the money to do so.


Don't make mistakes and learn from them, read and learn how to avoid mistakes.

a)Fix the damn problem
b)live with it

Re: Pictures of my Cardinal Tetras

Little over stocked. Must have been some serious filtration. Sounds nice. Planted?

Re: Pictures of my Cardinal Tetras

all live plants, swords, with out of water blooms. lighting was 3-70 halides suspended 12" above tank. pH ran about 5.7 very tea colored. filtration was a 30g sump return pump, mag 1200 with 3 re-directs. inside sump i had 2 biowheels loaded with carbon, and one hagen 400 with just floss. water changes were easy. well water coming out of the ground at 6.3
