What's your favorite tetra?
I haven't had the opportunity to try too many tetras but I have to say I really like serpaes, especially the long fin variety. The red provides color amongst my mass of silver/zebra angelfish :D

Paintball CO2 tank vs regular 5lb tank
I noticed that paintball tanks don't require the fancy gauge at the top of a regular tank(solenoid? regulator?). A 5lb CO2 tank would probably run me $50 but then I see some setups going for $200+....

Are these stealth heaters the titanium ones without a light? I always thought titanium>glass in the sense that it's "shatter proof". And now it shatters a tank? O.O
Unless it's not titanium...

Is it a good idea to dedicate a 75g to RCS?
Or would it be sort of boring to look at because RCS stay small?
Would I be able to have any tankmates while still having population growth(maybe otos or corys? small schooling fish or guppies?)

Larger fish in a planted tank?
I've always wanted to try an oscar in a 75g planted tank with a nice foreground carpet...but I'm pretty sure it would uproot everything.
What about something like a green terror or a 5-6"...
