5 gallon fish tank heater - Santon water heaters. 5 Gallon Fish Tank Heater
My 10 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium I got the tank 01/17/09. The person I bought it from had cycled it with the Clown Fish and rock/sand for a couple of months. I add more live rock rubble, fish and invertabrates, and coral. I am getting a new heater, cause the cheaper one seems to be slightly flakey. The lights are some sort of blue and white power compacts maybe? All in all a very nice small tank to get started in the hobby. It does cost a good deal of money, so a smaller tank is kind of ideal, and still very interesting to watch. UPDATE 03/17/09: Added: Sunpod Metal Halide 20" light and another Koralia fan....also added fish/inverts and coral but...I have rearranged eveything because I had 5 or so fish, they all pretty much died to Ich; or some other fungal/parasitic disease. I now have a small 2.5 gallon quarantine tank, with one Purple Fire Goby left. All of the creatures in my main tank are still thriving. It will probablly be fishless for 6 weeks. I will then add the one fish, if it survives. I will quarantine all new fish, one at a time, for 4-6 weeks thereafter. I did try to quarantine with Rid Ich;, but that doesn't do anything when the fish is already sick. What a pain, and of course a costly mistake on my part by rushing it. Starting Over
065/365 At one time, I must have been on drugs. I had 5 fish tanks running up in here, including this 55 gallon. I love aquariums because fish are so peaceful to watch. Sometimes we’d just sit on the couch in front of the tank and watch the fish swim, the cat too. Unfortunately, there was an accident earlier this year with two of my tin foil barbs. I wanted to heat up the water a few more degrees because it was too cool. I placed the heater in the tank, on the lowest setting the temperature is 84 degrees, but I turned it up and forgot. The temperature was in the 90s. Came home one day, they were belly up and a new meaning to the term, fried fish was born. It will take a few sessions of therapy to get over this, but today, I finally worked up the nerve to buy three fish. I will keep adding to it until it’s fully stocked.
