After a bad algae incident a few months ago i decided to completely redo my 10Gallon tank i replaced the sand, filter media, and cleaned all the decorations. its been over a month now and the tank is fully cycled and i have: 1male guppy 1 female guppy and 1 otto ive had the male and female...

i personally wouldnt trust any fish stuff from walmart, their stuff is usually very old and who knows if its still any good. best algae solution is to get a pleco or some other type of algae eater i had a slight algae problem but after leaving the tank light off for a week my otto ate it all...

ive done some pretty cool stuff back in highschool with CADKey and 3ds Max but after that i havent touched any 3d program

i used to play it a lot but i gave up on it after realizing how the developers only care about adding new content instead of fixing bugs that have been occuring from day 1 of the release that game is way to buggy for most people to even consider paying for a premium account

hi all, ive been pretty busy lately with work and havent been able to come here as often but now im back as some of you may know i currently have a 10gallon freshwater tank, and used to have some platies but i sold them a few months ago and im left with 1 otto anyways i might be getting a new...

if you have firefox there is an extention called Flashgot which is the same thing as flashget you can also check out Internet Download Manager (IDM) its also a very nice one

ive been thinking about the timer thing and will go pick one up tomorrow its might be BGA, its a really bright green color and really slimy, but i havent noticed any smell yet

i dont have any live plants in the tank, ammonia and nitrites are at 0 i dont have a nitrate test kit yet my parents left the light on for 2 days straight and i havent added any algae remover since that first time and it was only half the dosage directed on the bottle i have a 8watt T5 bulb...

quick update: my mickeymouse platy has passed away the other 2 platies and 1 otto are fine or as it seems

recently ive noticed a huge bloom of really bright green algae thats pretty much all over everything except the tank walls it pretty much turned the top layer of my sand green which i sucked up with a gravel vac and threw away but its still over some of the decorations. anyone know of a...

go with sand, it might be a pain at first during the whole washing the sand process but in the end its going to save you a ton of time because none of the food or waste will go down into small gaps as it does with gravel making it hard to clean just remember though, with sand you will have...

an air pump is NOT necessary, as long as you dont see your fish coming up to the surface for air then ther is plenty of oxygen in the tank

the sealant alone wont hold more than a 30gallon tank in my opinion you would need some kind of reinforcement at the bottom edge and top edge and maybe in the middle the sealant will only keep the water from leaking out in bigger tanks however im sure there is some special sealant or glue...

i borred it from a friend and tried it on my computer which is rated a 4 on the vista experience crap unfortunately you have to have a computer rated 5 for the game to even work properly with a rating of 4 the game is extremely laggy even at the lowest quality on EVERYTHING! overall that game...

you must use the macro setting like lilfishie said also turn off the room lights and leave the tank lights on and dont use the flash the flash will often scare the fish and it will jet to another side of the tank before the camera actually takes the picture ISO setting should be on its...

lilfishie is right, we need depth/height whichever you havent given us tropical fish do great in sand, i myself switched to sand and noticed the fish are much more active than they were with gravel

if you are in the US both petco and petsmart stock them

i would say at least a 50gallon for an oscar they need room to move around

ive never used anything like that but regular playsand works great for freshwater tanks just makesure you wash before putting it in your tank also: playsand is very cheap at under $4 for a 50lb bag which could probably cover up to a 30gallon tank maybe 50

i tested my water today and the ammonia was over .25ppm ive had this tank running for over 2 months now but i did recently switch from gravel to sand over a week ago and ended up changing like 80% of the water could this change have un-cycled my tank? i just changed 50% of the water so...

anyone have the new halo 2 for vista? im goin out and gettin it today! WOOT!

its pretty much impossible to tell without a nitrite reading adding just food into the tank will take much longer for it to cycle its better to add a little bit of household ammonia to the tank and keep monitoring ammonia and nitrites

why do you have 2 heaters per tank anyways? 1 should be plenty as long as its placed in a spot with plenty of circulation and yea having the central heating on in the summer is a bad idea for both you and the fish lol

my 50watt marineland one was about $32 at petco i would go with visitherm for the 5year guarantee i think marineland has a 2 year idk

i also have a marineland one its absolutely great the satus light doesnt matter much because it keeps the temperature within .2degrees of what you set it to id rather have the thermometer prove my heater is working than a status light which fooled me before and cause a few fish to die from...

those lights will create excessive heat in the tank its best to get one that goes on top of the tank the 2nd link might work i think its an LED but the first one is like a cold cathode or flourescent light and will get pretty hot

its only to heat the glue up enough to make it sticky again so i can cover a larger area with sand much more quickly the torch wouldnt be left in one area for more than 1/2 second, just a few quick passes over the glue to melt it a little bit

just saw the movie today and must say it was pretty good its a great time for the release as this summer is full of some of the greatest movies ever

just got a brilliant idea!! i can apply a very thin coat of hotglue to the plastic surface and then use a small blowtorch or lighter to heat the hot glue and then sprinkle some sand over it and pat it down with something to make it sink into the hotglue a little and then reheat it and sprinkle...

it may be time to rinse out your filter media in old tank water as waste rots it starts to smell really bad also keep doing water changes

ive tested this stuff in water and while it IS washable its pretty hard to get off a sanded plastic surface after its dried even after soaking it in hot water for a few hours the thing with this type of glue is it works best when its really thick when wet that way theres more glue than water...

is the elmers school glue safe to put in a freshwater fish tank after it has dried? im making a small cave for my platies and want to cover the ouside with sand but the only way to get the sand to stick to the plastic surface is by glueing it on so would it be safe to use that glue? here is a...

get a pleco or other type of algae eater if you get Ottos then get like 5 of them as they only get to about 2in each they will suck all that algae up and keep it under control

the easiest way that ive found to catch small fish like platies is by having a pretty big net (at least 5in accross) and try to corner the fish and slowly move the tank towards it eventualy the fish will start to swim to the top of the tank where u can have the net right under it and quickly...

you cant have both the integrated(on board) and add-on cards running at the same time the bios will make you chose just 1 because both cards are completely different and operate differently however most cards now have dual monitor support and will let you plug in 2 or more monitors into the...

whats your price range?? its hard to determine a good upgrade without knowing how much one is willing to spend $100 will get you a pretty nice card, certainly not the best but will be able to play almost all games with pretty god quality

homedepot is having sale on playsand this week and i was in that area so i picked up a 50lb bag i plan on washing it tomorrow and have it in the tank by afternoon would it be safe to put the fish in the tank right after i put in the washed sand? or should i wait a few hours? i also talked to...
