i have nothing to add to this because i've never kept piranha nor had the urge to. But i saw this on You Tube and thought id show you. ( if anyone thinks they will be upset or affected buy this clip you should not view it past the 10 or 20 second mark if at all.) But this shows the importance...

Hello And Put the light on a timer. Got to your local home center... Home Depot, Lowes, whatever you have where you live, and get a light timer and set it to come on in the afternoon, and go off at bedtime. All my tanks are on timers. This is what i have..... Light Timer Most of them...

I'm partial to white i have it in three of my tanks, it looks great with a black background. Whatever you decide just a few suggestions. 1. Make sure the gravel is inert and coated in a colorfast resin. Like this Gravel. 2. Get a small size the bigger sizes trap poop and crud and is hard to...

I ran into a situation this afternoon at an LFS in my area. I went in to get some cardinal tetras to go with the black neons in my 20 gal. (I wanted cardinals because i had read on here that they are hardier than neon tetras.) The guy (which has years and years of experiance) said not to...

J4MES...This place will build you a BIG TANK.... not 5,000. It would either be 4,500 or 6,000 and it will have to be Acrylic. The 6,000 is just under $140,000 U.S. Dollars. Go ahead charge it. :lol: And check out the price of the 45,000 Gal.

Hello and

That was a magic trick with a fish tank. This is a true Magic Fish Tank How in the world is this done. Wow!

Amazing.. At first i thought it was going to be a waste of five minutes, but it ended up being pretty cool. It would have been better if it was in english. I remember David Blane did a similar trick in his show street magic, where they were in front of a restauraunt and he threw the cards at...

If you have been keeping fish for three years you should know about fishless cycling and should have gone that route. You should also know that most people on here think that Cycle is a waste of money. The only product that i have known to work is Bio-Spira, it needs to be kept refrigerated so...

I'm Speechless.

I found this site earlyier today. If your interested apparently this guy will build you one for just a tad under Three Million Dollars. Scroll down towards the bottom... thier largest acrylic tank is 240x240x180 http://www.crystalviewtank.com/prod01.htm

See if he will get you this tank instead of learning to drive. Azaezl's New Tank

On my 55 i have dual HOB (hang on back) filters, one on each side and one heater in the middle. This works just fine becuse of the circulation from the HOB filters. I used to have a UGF on this tank but crud and junk building up under the plates led to bad water quality and fish death. At the...

I dont get into arguments... but i yell at my tinfoil barbs all the time. They get excited at feeding time and they like to splash, usually at the exact time when the lid is up and i'm putting food in. The have big tail fins and can move a lot of water, i usually look like i was drinking...

I definitetly wouldnt add the Bala to the list wendywc provided. They get to big in my opinion. These are two good reasons not to put a Bala in the tank you want to do Poopsy.

The tank is great.... But i want that Camera. Nice pics. Does the tank have a lid?? you worried about fish jumping out? And evaporation.

There it is... it has started for you already.... That's how it starts... 1 tank , 2 tanks, etc. That's how it was for me.. now i have 5 tanks. Wait till your mom gets the electric bill. :lol: J/K. Good Luck hope you end up with a great tank.

:)

:good:

If there's a floss cartridge and a bio sponge in the hood (lid) part.. i would see no need for the sponge that's in the box under the gravel, (other than to keep the gravel from getting pulled into the pump) If there is a plastic screen of some sort to keep the gravel from getting pulled into...

I know clown loaches eat snails not sure about yo-yo loaches.

That being said if you can isolate them (the fish or the snails) i've had success with a combination of Coppersafe (Mardel ) Maracyn-two (Mardel) and Melafix (API) on flukes but the Coppersafe will nuke the snails. I like mardel products because they dont kill the bio filter. Heres what Mardel...

The outlet on your wall should have two plugs right? use 1 powerstrip per plug. Thats what i did. or using your current powerstrip get a rectangle 3-way plug and plug it in the powerstrip and plug the tank lights and the room light into that, just make sure its not too wide so it dont block...

Lies about what... the tattooing/dying process being harmful/painful? Like i said who really knows if it is. Have there been studies? It's all just a moot point anyway, nothing can be done that will be effective unless a big animal rights group gets involved. And thier too busy saving whales...

Hello and Welcome. :) It's most likely just a bacterial bloom because your tank is not cycled yet. Dont use any products to clear the water it will clear eventually on its own. You will need test kits for ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate to tell how the cycle is going and when it's finished...

I sent an e-mail to a LFS store owner in my area disscussing the tattooing or dying of fish as this topic was discussed on another forum.... here is a copy of the e-mail i sent. Dear Steve, I belong to a website called Fish Index. It is a forum type website dedicated to the care and...

i would think your ok as well.... prime is a great product and it seems like you added it soon enough. myself i would be more concerned about he quote below. I have soft water too that is 100% pure so i dont use declohr, but i also dont need anything for my Ph, my ph is high but it is stable...

Not maybe.... definitely. If you installed a new filter, and didnt put the filter material from the old filter into the new filter this is why you are having ammonia problems. You have sent your tank back into a cycle. there's two ways around this, keep doing daily water changes and wait it...

He did not use tin......."The following materials are required: Brown Vinyl guttering"

I have not had a fish death in years... what are you people doing wrong?..... Beginners luck?

Maxta.. all air pumps should take the same size tubing. If its proper air line tubing it should fit on any pump. As far as pumps go..I have used the Elite series air pumps for years without any problems. I have four tanks and four Elite pumps and they have been running for years. It helps to...

I had this same problem with my 55 and a UGF.. muck and crud building up under the plates led to bad water quality and ammonia problems. I got rid of the UGF and the tank turned around in a hurry. Reverse flow UGF's are supposed to be better. The water is pumped down the tube by a powerhead...

Matrix Is Great! :nod:

If the poop and trash go between and under the gravel it is too big. If the gravel does not lift up in the tube when you vaccum it is too heavy. I had this same problem some time ago, i had gravel that was about the size of a shelled peanut, it was too big and too heavy to clean right, and took...

In my 55 gal my two barbs are Moe and Larry bcause thier alway's shovin' each other around. one of my three gouramis is Virginia the other two have no names as of yet. the apollo shark is just called Apollo. and my catfish is Big Sexy.

i have a basement so if i were going with that big of a tank i would support the joists with 4x4 supports under where the tank would go. essentily what tolak said.

That is the same thing i said in my post #16 thanks for backing me up :good: true it holds no benificial bacteria but it is already aged and has no chlorine in it, thats why i suggested using it.
