What are some good fish for a 55 gallon tank?
Depends what you like. You have room for lots of options.You could go with a peaceful tank and have a number of calmer species like neon tetras.You could go with some active shoaling fish like tiger barbs (they’re a lot of fun to watch).If you want a community tank (multiple species living together), you might find these helpful:How to Choose Compatible Fish for Your Community AquariumStocking a Peaceful Community TankOr you could get 1–2 fish of a slightly larger species. A 55 is just about big enough for one full-sized oscar - they’re renowned for being intelligent fish with personalities who will actually interact with their owners. They’re sold at only an inch or two, but they quickly grow more than large enough that they should be the only occupant of a tank that size - also, they’ll eat any other fish they can fit in their mouths.Be careful about buying fish that start small but get big, aka “tankbusters.” A lot of stores will sell them and tell you lies about them not growing bigger than a certain size - do your own research before you buy. Tankbusters - INJAFAlso, make sure your tank is properly cycled before adding fish, and only add a few at a time to avoid poisonous nitrite spikes.One last caution. Livebearers (platys, mollies, guppies, etc) are fun, pretty, and hardy, but they are true to their name and can quickly overwhelm your tank. I once had a breeding pair of silver lyretail mollies. Lovely, but pretty soon it wasn’t a pair anymore, it was a couple hundred of them.
What kind of fish can I put in a 60 gallon tank?
What you should o first is make sure you understand the basics: The Nitrogen Cycle and the Fishless Cycle - getting your aquarium ready for fish - INJAFAfter that figure out if your water is hard or soft, that will influence the kind of fish you can keep.then decide what you want. Do you want multi coloured gravel and sponge bob ornaments? Or do you want a planted tank? Or perhaps a biotope.After that you can decide on fish.I think if I had a 60g and hard water I’d either go for a shell dwelling community or I’d do something like this: How to set up a Central American themed tank?If I had soft water and a 60g I’d get several big pieces of driftwood, some leaf litter and go either asian with 30 tiger barbs or south american with 35 green neons.If my water was sort of neutral and I was in the mood for something different I’d set up a fast flowing stream. Get river rocks in various sizes on coarse sand, add a power head, get 20 white clouds, let it mature and get some “hong-kong plecs”
How many lumens would I need for a 60 gallon tank / lumens per gallon?
If you are "in to" plants in there then you would be making a very bad choice. Look at this but mostly at the charts near the bottom of it and see for your self. I have that light but got this link after I got the light. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/showth... Finnex RAY II rates the best on that chart. It only has the growing power of 1 T8 bulb. That 60G is way too tall for that light. If it don't use the word Spectrum and say 6500K at least then it's hiding something from you so don't. And much higher than that is not good for plants as much as between 5400K and 8000K. I have to keep a T8 bulb in addition to the Double Bright to get any growth from my plants and I have a short tank. If my words don't convince you maybe that chart will before you waste your money.
60 gallon aquarium what fish and how many?
It depends on what kind of fish you will be having in it. There are 4 main types: Tropical (non-aggressive), semi-aggressive, aggressive, gold fish. - for 60 foot tank you can have plenty of tropical fish (30+) or gold fish BUT you can't mix them together. - if you get semi-aggressive, you may be limited to 15 or less. - if you get aggressive fish, you may be limited to less than 8. I would recommend to go to a pet store and decide which type of fish you want (because you shouldn't really mix different types). For example, goldfish like cooler water so you won't need a heater but if you get any other fish, they will need a heater. When you get to the pet store and decide what type you like, then you can determine how many you can have. The pet store will tell you the exact amount of fish you should have of this kind for a 60 gallon tank. Also, make sure not to put fish in there before 24 hours of putting and leaving the water so that it can settle and make it safer envrionment for fish to adapt.
What kind of bulbs do I need for my ball python?
As you are probably aware snakes, including ball pythons, do not require any extra UV supplement other than the ambient lighting of your room. For your nighttime heating I don't think that the black light will be of any use. Instead I recommend an Under Tank Heater (UTH) This will be useful for both you're day time heating as well as nighttime heating. These UTHs can be bought at your local pet store or online. When using any sort of UTH, make sure there is some clearance beneath the enclosure to allow air circulation to prevent a build-up of excess heat. Also, no UTH should ever be used without some sort of control on the amount of heat it puts out. A reliable thermostat (Johnson Control, Ranco, Herpstat or Helix) is best. If you want to stick to bulbs I'd recommend a 125 Watt ceramic heater, just be careful to ensure that the socket can handle the voltage, cause you don't want shattered glass all over the enclosure. A ceramic heater doesn't emit any light, which is great since any bright light would stress the snake out. The bulb would also dry out the air making it more difficult to maintain the appropriate humidity level. Also maintain an appropriate distance of at least 15 inches (depends on bulb wattage). I am going to assume that you know how to heat an enclosure properly, but i will go ahead and explain. The heating system should be placed to one side of the enclosure and the other side should be left to be cooler, so that the reptile can thermo-regulate properly, and keep from overheating, which would be fatal.In the end I would recommend that you switch to a UTH system, as it has none of the problems of a Ceramic heating system. Hope this helps,Happy herp keeping
Planted 10 gallon aquarium lighting questions?
I'm no expert but I imagine that bulb would be just fine. The full-spectrum color is what's important. You may want to get a glass aquarium top (or cut some acrylic at a harware store) to slow down the heavy evaporation you're going to experience and to protect your betta in case your clip fails.
How many lumens do LED lights produce per watt?
Where have you found a 240w LED? No one is producing a single emitter that can handle even a fraction of that amperage. The best commercially available LED lamps are generating right at 100 lumens per watt. This is quite good, but unfortunately only equals the better fluorescent lamps. The best fluorescent lamps are producing closer to 110-120lpw, which is really very good. Typical LED performance is more along the lines of 60-80lpw, which is actually not quite as good as the widely available CFs at comparable wattages. [edit] The other two answers are not reliable. The one talking about "it depends on the leds emitter" clearly is not fully aware of how the LED works or what its parts are called. The other one is sending you to a site that specializes in lights targeted toward the marijuana growing community. Take their advice with a grain of salt. Breaking: there is a brand new lamp called the NanoLeaf which is supposed to generate 133lpw which is excellent, but it is not widely available yet. When it breaks cover in the US, I will be all over it for the hard-to-reach chapel pendant fixtures, an inconvenient 25 feet off the ground.
Why do betta fish like small tanks?
Betta splendent is a Labyrinth fish native to marshes across central and southern Asia. While selectively bred for flowing fins and bright colors, Bettas are adapted to live in pretty inhospitable environments compared to many freshwater fish. Their native habitat is weedy, plant-choked wetlands, with very little room to maneuver, and often stagnant water. They can thrive in these environments because their labyrinth organ allows them to breathe air, like gouramis. This allows them to live in water with a dissolved 02 at effectively zero, opening up areas uninhabitable by other fish. Due to the weedy nature of their natural habitat, Bettas are also adapted to live in very small spaces, which, when coupled with their ability to breathe air, makes them able to survive effectively in small bowls.Like almost all fish, though, Bettas have gills, and buildup of metabolic and nitrogenous wastes in their bowl will kill them just like other fish, if at higher levels. It is therefore imperative to at least filter their aquarium/bowl, as well as keep it at an appropriate temperature, to let their metabolisms work the most efficiently, to promote health and reduce waste slightly.Bettas often do fine in larger tanks, but owing to their fins, they are not very good swimmers, and can be sometimes bullied by rambunctious tank mates or out-competed for food.Ideal tank size for 1 Betta and a couple of peaceful tank mates is 5–10 gallons with some floating or tall plants. They can also easily go down to 1 gallon or less (only if filtered however). There isn’t really a safe tank size for 2 adult male Bettas, as they will actively seek each other out and battle for dominance, sometimes to the death, but for a single male and a harem of 4–5 females, 10–15 gallons with no tankmates is ideal for watching their fascinating courtship and breeding behavior.
