I want to put this pretty tank in my kitchen. I have a very long counter. How many fish do you recommend in this tank? I would like to put at least 4.

The rule is typically 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. A single beta does great, but if you like the idea of more fish here are some combinations... 3-5 tetras (5 being a little too close to overcrowding), 3-5 guppys (male only because they breed frequently), 3 zebra danios, 3 corys, or 2 african bull frogs and shrimp. A snail is also a great addition to the aquarium because they keep it algae free and are low maintenance.

If you are doing a reef tank, I would go with 2 units, if its just saltwater fish with artificial plants and stuff, you could probably get away with 1 unit. I am looking to maybe upgrade to something like that, I have looked at a 47 Gallon bowfront, and would add another unit, and maybe play around with lowering the light level, or cutting back the white LED levels some. Under full blue LED's only, everything in my tank takes on completely different colors, and glows a bright blue, pretty cool at night sometimes.

I know next to nothing about growing flora in the aquarium except some BS I've read in forums. I have planted a low growing and tall growing pair of plants in my 29 high tank with the appropriate sized model of this light. It is a medium populated community tank and I do not use CO2. I do dose daily with Flourish Excel. My plants appear to be doing well and some new sprouts have developed and are growing. I will take a picture and post it in the user pictures portion.

I have a 65 gal (36" wide, 24" high, 18" deep) mixed reef (including fish, clams, sps, lps and a few softies) and have 2 36-48" units, obviously affixed as 36". Everything is great especially my maxima and derasa clams, euphillia, Birdsnest, all lps great. Oddly the softies don't grow as fast. I love the lights, you could start with one unit and add more later if u want.

You may be cramming to many things in there at once. Remember this is only a one gallon tank. If you get the three gallon tank you may have more room if it's wider.

I use sand and I have about 10 pounds of sand but I have a fish stand. I would not recommend placing this 6 gallon tank on a desk or shelf because 6 gallons of water I think is about 48 pounds plus 10lbs of sand anda few rocks will make it over 60lbs. If you are not going to fill the tank all the way then I would recommend doing about half (3 gallons and about 5lbs of sand) on a desk or shelf. I really like this tank and also remember its acrylic = easy to scratch.

I have about a gallon and a 1/2 bowl and I added 1/4 teaspoon each time. I changed water every week because it made water really 'greasy'. My fish is still alive and well:)

I have mine in a 77 gallon tank and it works fine but, I would guess for a tank that size that you may require something bigger or maybe 2 of them. Also depends on type of fish of course.

I would recommend a basket for the chicken, and a skimmer for the fish. Thats just my opinion. I like to keep the chicken off the bottom of the pot. Where the fish will not hit the bottom. Hope I'm making some sense of this.

I have 3 tanks and find it best to have one on each side for my larger tanks 155 and 265. I have only one on my 55 gallon. I would go with one large on one side and see how that does, it wont hurt to add a smaller one one the right side if needed.

YES! Do NOT put two Bettas in this tank! Not only can they see each other, the middle divider doesn't fit properly making it dangerous for both fish. I left for a few days and came back to both fish barly alive on the same side of the tank.

Well to behonest bro I have 2 blocks and I left my tank alone for 2 months without cleaning it and it barely got dirty. I have a 55 gallon tank and about 11 fish I know I overly populated the tank with fish but the blocks works like magic.

I agree with Philip - way too small of a tank! Those Angel Fish and that pleco are going to get REALLY big. Move them up to a big tank and enjoy the shrimp in the 10 gallon alone or with a few small, peaceful fish.

The entire tank is 2.3 gal.It's great divided for small fish. I used mine divided into 3 instead of 5 . i had 2 Betta's and put a dwarf frog in the middle.

I really enjoy this tank. I like the all-in-one feature. It does run a little hot and I have to keep the back open, but it's summer and I hope that won't be continued into the winter. I took out the BioBalls and am using a media basket with carbon, floss and Purigen. I also have chaeto in the back as well. You can find a lot of information on the salt water forums. There are plenty of them and good advice with most. But for a clown and rocks it would be a good size. Being a smaller tank you will need to keep up with water changes as well. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I only have a 29 gallon and my tank is loving the lights. My personal opinion is that it would be better to run two with a 60 gallon. Current is great though. You will love it!

the lowest setting is fine for my 15 gallon tall. I have 5 galaxy barbs, two albino cories cats, two amino shrimps, an otto catfish and a shit load of snails(Note: a bunch of moss cover my intake tube from time to time). But it depends on the fish you plan to get too. do your fish come from a place with fast moving water or slow? Since you already have a spare C4 and a tank just try it out. worse case you return the fish back.
