Thank you!
Theres a chance I might be keeping him biggrin
I'm going home next week, and my mom has another betta of mine, in an Eclipse System 3 (most expensive 3 gallon tank ever @.@ Thankfully, my uncle gave it to me LOL), and when I upgraded my 20 long to a 29 gallon (same footprint, just a bunch taller), I put the 20 long away, where I wouldn't see it and set up again.
Anyway, I'm hoping that mom'll let me set the 20 long up for her, and I can divide it and let Katsu Kaida (the betta she has), and Hotaru take over it. I'll plant it all up, make it look all pretty, and it it'll be a nice low-maintanence tank for her to enjoy, and I get to keep Hotaru all for my self (but he'll live 10 hours away....).
I hope she goes for it. The 3 gallon is giving her algae trouble, and she had to go out and buy a toothbrush so she could scrub it off every day LOL With the 20 long, if she has that bad of an algae problem, I'll get her 6 Ottos, or a couple Nerite Snails.

That Eclipse, is it this one? That is the one I JUST bought and am still working on! I plan to take Bella Noel (my female betta) and Kuhli Loach, Dune, out of their 2 gallon tank and give that to Sushi. Then I am going to plant the heck out of the 3 gallon to keep down the current (and just for funsies since everybody's been getting me all psyched for a live planted tank again) and put Bella and Dune in there. In the future I will do a 10 gallon of Killis, or, as I like to call them "mini-bettas" xd

Akari_32 Kipluck That Eclipse, is it this one? That is the one I JUST bought and am still working on! I plan to take Bella Noel (my female betta) and Kuhli Loach, Dune, out of their 2 gallon tank and give that to Sushi. Then I am going to plant the heck out of the 3 gallon to keep down the current (and just for funsies since everybody's been getting me all psyched for a live planted tank again) and put Bella and Dune in there. In the future I will do a 10 gallon of Killis, or, as I like to call them "mini-bettas" xd Yep, thats it smile Its a nice tank, but for the price you could get something bigger LOL Planted tanks are so fun! Be aware that they stopped selling the light bulbs that are specifically for this tank. You'll have to look at the bulb it came with, and see what type it is (T-something and inches), get creative when you need a new bulb. I always get my bulbs for my bigger tanks at Lowes or WalMart. You can but a T9 bulb for a 20 long hood at Lowes for $6 compared to $15-20 for the same thing at the pet store! Good to know. I can often find the right bulb in a hardware store... I am not afraid to ask people to help me track it down either. That is good to know.
This weekend I went to Petco to replace the filter (not the machine... the little carbon pouch thing) in Tortuga's tank. I did a full water replacement, Scrubbed her little decorative surf boards, and cleaned out the filter, then ran to the store to replace the carbon part. Well, they don't carry it anymore. They carry the pump, but not replacement filters? What the heck?! So I ended up making my own. rolleyes

I always just buy the AquaClear filter sponges and cut them to size. Much cheaper than carbon inserts, and they don't need to be replaced, just rinsed out as needed.
