After my horrific experience with my last two pets
(RIP SNOWIE AND CHLOE) I cleaned out my tank thoroughly and cycled it for the last week.
Today I decided it was time to, well try to (i don't think i ever could), replace my pets. I thought i'd start with one like I did before and I bought Chloe number 2.
Anyway this is how my new tank is set up
As you can see I did not take my chances with another one of the same thermometers that leaked alcohol in to my water (see thread: DEAD in sick axo category). It can read celcius and farenheit, it also has a settable alert alarm, i have it set to alarm if the water temp drops to 11 degrees celcius or below and it will also beep if it reaches 25 degrees celcius and above.
The guy replaced it with a $40 digital one for me.
Tank setup: 2 ft light on side of tank (hardly use it mostly actually during the day when it's bright anyway to keep the plants growing although I have decided not yet to add live plants until my new baby settles into her new home) got two filters going, one undergravel and another resun hang on, big garden pebbles for gravel, the little troll bridge which they love to hide under and also the log for hiding in.
