I did another 50% change today, and he seems happier.

Do you know if IAL will affect the corries?

Thanks OFL the Bulbs New, Tank is cycled, took a month, Only today have i noticed them after the water change.

Pretty easy to wipe of, Phew nothing to worry about.

My betta is acting wierd since the last water change (he seems determin to force himself between the back wall and the filter) first time ive seen him try get behind the filter.

Saw him laid in the green Cabomba leaves at the surface earlier, hes amazingly active.

is 5 hours light enough for my plants? or too much?

Hey OFL, Sorry to hear about your storm issues.

Just a quick update, I have finally cleared my water up,

Its crystal clear again.

I have noticed some Brown dots appearing on the sides and fronts of the tank, are these bad news?

White clouds are sold in my lfs as cold waters fish..

I will Tty get some better pics, Thanks, Hes cute, Trying to think of a name .

I can't really see his fins well in your pic-but some daily water changes will help...he is a very pretty fella...congrats on your find....and free too.....
