Re: Update on 45 gallon tank and DPs
I was holding them for a friend of mine until his tank was set up. It was a win-win situation; they cycled my tank and me keeping them allowed him enough time to setup his tank. He has a 55 and he now has 3 goldfish, including these two in it... should be plenty of space for them to grow huge! which they will.

Re: Update on 45 gallon tank and DPs
Wow, I really like your tank. It is very visually appealing and highly soothing to look at. Makes me want to lay on the Java Moss and take a nap.

Yeah I have seen those light fixtures before but never owned one. I need to go with a T5 fixture myself.
