I've been looking everywhere for a 55 gallon lighted hood and I can't find anything.. Do they not make them? I saw something at Petsmart but it was just some sort of long clip-on light that doesn't cover the tank. Could I get two 30 gallon hoods or something? The top is sectioned into two halves because there is a glass brace.. It is frustrating me!
Also, can anyone give me a general idea of how long a tank would take to cycle if I put about 2/5 tap water (added water conditioner to it) and 3/5 pond water? I took the pond water from my backyard pond. This is the first day the filter has been running with it because I had to wait for the silicon in the hole in the side to cure. I think a couple rosy reds got caught in the bucket too so there may be a couple fish in there. I could check a little later for floaters.. But just wondering if adding pond water would help cycle time. Thanks!
