I just picked up a 4-pack of Hyper LED 12V blue led's, which, as near as I can tell, have the resistors pre-wired and heat-shrunk... now I just need to dig up a 12V adapter, then I should be golden... :) Then I'll have to pick up some neon tetras, should look gorgeous under the blue light... hehe

Thanks!! How many would you use, in a 15gal tank? do you think 2 blue and 2 white would do? I was thinking of drilling them into the back edge of the canopy, the whites at the back corners, and the blues on either side of the filter... opinions? Mr^Man

Hey guys! Recently, I started shortening the length of time my tank light is on, in an effort to control algue... (it seems to be helping) I guess maybe the light is too bright for a non-planted tank... Anyways, I was thinking of putting in a couple of LED's for tank lighting, when the big...

Wow, the Bolivian Ram is gorgeous! I google'd pics of it, and the first link was http://www.azgardens.com/images/Ram-Bolivian.gif I wonder if the local places have any... Mr^Man

Hey, guys! It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm back, for the moment, at least... :) Okay, what I have ATM in my 15Gal tank: - 4 pepper cories (cute little buggers they are...) - 2 fruit tetras (I know, they're dyed, but I didn't know when I got them) - 1 rubbernose pleco (I think... I...

I didn't realize they were dyed, when my gf was picking them out, and had she known, she wouldn't have ever gotten them, either... But since we have them, we'll love them like any other. Mr^Man

Hey guys!! This afternoon, I got my water tested, and while I was there, I decided to finally get started stocking my tank beyond my Mickey Platy (I had lost one when I moved last week, and the other was getting lonely.) My girlfriend wanted a couple of fruit tetras, one pink and one blue, and...

How does one in western Canada go about getting two of these? All we have for pet shops in town are Petland, which prob'ly won't special-order fish, and a small privately-owned shop, where I don't hold out much more hope there...

As a quick aside, now that I've learned a bit about fishkeeping, everytime I walk into the local Dairy Queen, it nearly breaks my heart to see the aquarium they have... it looks to be about 4'x2'x2', or so... but it has 5 huge fish in it... 3 that look like they could be cats, and 2 pleco's All...

Hi again, guys... To recap what I have for a tank, it's a 15 gallon, light-blue gravel, a few plastic plants, and some store rocks... About 3 weeks ago, I bought 2 platies (mickeys) to get the cycle started once I do one more partial water change, and confirm that my water's ready, I plan on...

The blue gravel was actually my girlfriend's idea... after we bought it, and I read a bit into the subject, I realized that I would've prefered a more natural, neutral color, which would better show off the color of the fish... oh well... I'm sure it won't be the worst mistake I make... lol

I decided to get my tank started cycling, by just putting in a couple platy's... LFS says they're pretty tough, and are a good start... I also put in a cave-like decoration, in case any fish are feeling shy... :)

This afternoon, I got a pack of AquaClear BioMax, and stuffed it into the back part of my filter (fits nicely), and primed it with Cycle. The aquarium department manager, to whom I spoke, told me I don't need to add ammonia, and that my tank should cycle fine. I also got a background, which I...

just thought I'd add these pics of the tank... y'know... just because... :D http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/Ye...er/IMG_0200.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/Ye...er/IMG_0201.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w286/Ye...er/IMG_0203.jpg (On preview, I see they just come...

Hi all, this is my first post to this forum, and I'm clueless as all get-out... Okay, on Saturday, I bought a Waterhome 'econo-20', which is a 24x12x14 (15g), which comes with an Elite Hush 20 filter and 100W heater. I equipped it with bright-blue gravel, 4 plastic plants, and various rocks...
