Prevent Genocide!

Last year I dove headlong in the world of 29 gallon fish tanks. I bought myself a Walmart tank, some tank stuff like a back filter, and a mess of tiger stripe fish. The result... Mass Extinction.

The ammonia and nitrates got all screwed up and my piddly heater couldn't keep up with living in a borderline abandoned building. So by mid-winder I had 29 gallons of ice. Since the spring thaw I've had a feted glass box of old fish water on my desk.

So I've started a new. With the help of the local pet store guy (Mark Dawson of the "Fish Bowl") I've got all new gear. -I'd link to the Fish Bowl site but they don't seem to have one.- In any case... I have a new under gravel filter powered by an Airtech 2K4 and a Whisper Heater 40. Whatever that means. I'm running all that for 2 weeks or so to give the happy bacteria population a chance for to settle in. I'll also get some live plants and build a LEGO under-sea lab. When I get the fish I'll probably get a new back filter.

This is your chance to prevent genocide. If you have any helpful suggestions on how not to decimate the coming refugee fish population; speak up. Or their blood will be on your hands!
