Got the tank setup last week and added some plants, let it sit and cycle for a week, did a partial water change today and then added 6 Neon Tetra to start out and see how things go. Looks good so far, and the fish seem happy.

  • They need to start making larger Edge aquariums. 55 Edge!

  • @Garymayo haha! thats nuts... but AWESOME!

  • Always some fish guy quick to give advice about a tank. The Edge tanks are a lot of fun for a small tank. I have a 220, two 180, and several smaller tanks, but I love the look of the Edge.

  • @Garymayo totally... my tank does awesome. but theres always some dick, not necessarily even on youtube, that has something to say about what is wrong.

  • Letting the tank sit for a week is not cycling. Google fishless cycling. To cycle an aquarium you have to be very careful to make sure that beneficial bacteria convert nitrogenous waste faster than your fish produce it. You'll have to do a fish-in cycle now because yo have fish. I recommend joining a forum like aquariumadvice. Then you can get better advice and be sure that the tank is cycled.

  • @iGeekAquariums who cares. So what, I used a term incorrect. The fish were fine, and as you can see this video is over a year old and the tank is doing fine.

see all

  • very nice !

  • really nice! I find thse tanks so easy to maintain and the fish do fantastic in them. I've got 3 tetras, 3 pink danios and 3 guppies (temporarily) Im having a harder time with the edge 2...haven't got it cycled yet.

  • @sparkomega but they are right.

  • Very cool

  • @jakeny7

    I know that the tank needs to be cycled. I am not surprised that your 55 was fine... you did indeed cycle it by transferring the bio media (also know as "seeding" or instant cycle) I do know a lot about fish tanks. I was just making sure that the person who uploaded this was aware... No need to post hating comments. What kind of rainbows do you have?

  • @sparkomega

    Oh, if it is over a year old, it is definitely cycled. Your tank looks great. :) Keep it up
