This is the tank Phinneus is in but I removed the green one that was like the pink and I am thinking of trying the coconut thing. This is what it was looking like, I am currently doing a plant rearrange.

you really like your tanks colourfull lol :]

by **SheenaShoup** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:45 pm

Yeah. I'm thinking of adding some white or blue gravle in the red tank, it's a little low on that in there!

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:47 pm

i would change it to sand or black sand. the black sand will really make the betta stand out.

by **SheenaShoup** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:52 pm

Not to sure on sand yet, they don't have good vacumes at my shop, the hand pump kind, and I don't do online ordering much as it would be tim's card, I have no cc, so I think for now I am sticking with the rounded gravel. I will check out black gravel though. Thanks.

just use a air line tub to suck up any waste you dont need one of the pump ones.

by **SheenaShoup** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 5:56 pm

That was what I was talking of we only have the self start pump kind.

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:00 pm

by **SheenaShoup** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:06 pm

looks pretty much like this

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:09 pm

yh i have one like that. you can just use the pipe without the plastib bit thats what im meaning do with a air tube

by **SheenaShoup** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:11 pm

What would I use to start the siphoning? Does it work the same way? scratch

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:16 pm

just the end of the tube you have to suck on the other end with the other is in the tank to start it.

by **SheenaShoup** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:17 pm

K, I will see how it works. Thank Kizno! Very Happy

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:18 pm

glad i could help :]

by **Irish_Lass** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:24 pm

I know tonnes of people that swear by those air line things but they're what drove me to get the electric gravel cleaner. I could never get them to work properly. It drove me insane. pullhair

by **SheenaShoup** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:29 pm

It's a pain in the bum, but I have got the flow of it. Once you can do it, it becomes easier each time. affraid

by **kizno1** on Sat Mar 20, 2010 6:30 pm

its easy just put a bucket below the tank and the put some of the air line tube in the tank and suck on the other end to make it start just make sure it is a slope down to the bucket or it wont flow down and will just stop if its higher.
