12 gallon long stocking suggestions?

[Austy16414]

Thats a fine idea as long as you can accept it not being the way you want for a while. Take your time, and get what you want for it and then set it up. It's killing me that I cant stock mine with what I want just yet. But I know soon enough, after I have everything I want and need done, It will be 100% ready when the fish arrive. I've been at the hobby now for 26 years, and I have rushed setup's and hated them to the point that I would tear them down, and either rebuild them the way they needed to be or i'd sell them.

This is sound advice. Knowing myself, I'm constantly upgrading my tanks anyway, so it should give me something to do with my down time. I'll throw something together and see if I can bear it. If I can't I'll just tear it back down and wait it out

That's quite affordable. In theory, I already have an AC20 laying around, as well as a small heater.. I could have it up and running soon and then upgrade along the way

Nice pickup. Those dimensions are rare to come by.

And for only 40 bucks. Thien (livebearers) is a super nice guy and I highly recommend doing business with him before he gets out of the hobby

Na no legs, but there not expensive to order. Or DIY. I'm actually going to be cleaning and taking them apart probably friday to clean all of the internals. It's just something I tend to mess with.

Ok no problem. I'll look into it and get back with you. Thanks a ton

Do they have the legs on 'em? No worries if they don't

Hey if you're down in the clear lake area anytime soon (this weekend), I'll give you one of these lights I have. They ain't much but you wouldn't have to stress over lighting.

Awesome man. What are they? Can't beat a free light
