Like raising livestock, just usually not fish. but most of it translates to a good degree. And I've been my own boss for 40 years so used to figuring things out. Some of the rating may be due to the thickness of the glass. but if your careful with it, it should do just fine. Edited May 9 by Tony s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted May 9 Author Share Posted May 9 The light came!!! 🎇🎇🎇 Also I went to petsmart because I literally forgot it was there and drove past it and said, “oh yeah there is a petsmart there”. And got the topfin hood, it fits like a charm! The light is perfect I mean PERFECT. I have it on a 8hr cycle and in the morning I will set it to turn on at 9:00 am and turn off after 8hrs is over, I will show pictures in the morning, it’s off now. @Tony s, @macdaddy36 amazing light. Decent hood actually too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted May 10 Author Share Posted May 10 One of my WCMMs is yawning every once in a while. Could this be a issue? low oxygen right? Do I need a airstone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need a airstone? Gasping could be a sign of ammonia poisoning. I would suspect this to be the issue because you currently have some present. An airstone definitely wouldn’t hurt though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitecloud09 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 @macdaddy36, I am going to get one, (a airstone) and had a Q. Do I need a sponge filter? I am not against it but just wondering. This article is what I am looking at on AC, I probably will but everything that I need for one obviously, air pump, tubing, check valve, the actua airstone and a sponge filter. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/blogs/aquarium/air-stones-the-secret-weapon-every-aquarium-needs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macdaddy36 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 No, you don’t need the sponge filter if your only purpose is better oxygenation. You should get - Air pump - Tubing - Check valve - Air stone I would get a tetra airpump from petco/petsmart. I have 3 and all have been super reliable, quiet, and cheap. With shipping the co-op one might be too late if lack of oxygen is the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitecloud09 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Ok, I actually about to order it from Amazon right now, the tetra air pump, it comes with a check valve, standard tubing that has great reviews and the airstone itself @macdaddy36.
