Got a great deal new tank
October 12, 2008 4:10 pm Daily life, fishOnce again, thank you, Craig’s list. I got a 12 gallon tank for 30.00 with the same eclipse hood as the 6 gallon I sent back to Pet Solutions. (Twice the capacity for less than ½ the price). I called Pet Solutions and told them I got another tank and they agreed to issue a refund instead of sending a new tank. I highly recommend them for their great customer service.
This tank has some obvious scratches on the front, which bothers me until I remember the great deal we got and that Lily and Fin (I have names already – even though I think I shouldn’t name anything unless it lives a whole month) won’t care about such things.
I am 4 days into my fishless cycle and have measurable nitrates today. (not from any legitimate cycle, but from a product called “cycle” that many claim doesn’t work. I think it worked fine, for nitrate) I found some great advice online that says to wait until the tank can process 4-5ppm ammonia in 8-12 hours. So I’m not there yet.
I just sit in the kitchen and watch the bubbles in the tank. I love it. I can totally see why aquariums lower blood pressure. It’s so beautiful.
