    By Far The Easiest Moon Light

    This was so easy and cheap its scary. I went to Lowes to get something (can't remember what) and I thought, lets go to the lighting section. Well bam, there it was, a 6' white rope light for like $6 bucks. So I checked to see if they could get it in blue and they could and did. It isn't as...

    Lima Shovelnose + Spotted Raphael = Food?

    Hi, My local pet store has a couple rather large (3.5 - 4'') spotted Raphael cats. Would one be ok with my 8'' lima? The Rephael is pretty FAT and has large spines. Vinny

    Nitrates High, Plants Look Like They Have Algea And Dieing

    Hi all, I got a 90G with high nitrate levels but all the other test show normal, like ammonia, nitrite, and a couple others. The tank has been set up about 9 months and most of the time all is well. I did a 30% water change 3 days ago but no change. The gravel is kinda dirty and there is...

    Back Grounds & Tree Stumps

    Needle Fish (gar) In South American Tank?

    Do you think a 90 gallon tank can support the fish I have listed plus another Shovel nose and one more needle fish? I have read that both these fish are best kept in pairs or in threes. The list is as follows: Pictus(3.5"), Pleco(4''), Giant Danio(2''), Jack D.(4''), Fire M.(2''), Banjo...

    Needle Fish (gar) In South American Tank?

    I thought the Fire mouth came from South America. If it does'nt then there are a lot of incorrect literature out there. I guess I should have labled it as a Central and South American Tank. Thanks Vinny

    Needle Fish (gar) In South American Tank?

    I may have messed up! For some unknown reason I bought a needel gar and put him in my South American tank. You could not have told me they where Asian and needed some salt in the water. Can these fish live without salt? The tank is 90 gallons and is home to a Sorubim Lima, Jack D., Fire M...

    Pleco the only one with ick?

    Hi, I'm Vince and I'm new here (only my second post). I may have a problem. I noticed just a couple of days ago that my pleco had hundreds of small white specks on it. Ick right. Well I'm not sure. At first I thought I saw a few (4-6) on my jack but then a day or so later I looked again...

    Phosphate Algae Phosphate algae

    I do have live plants that seem to be doing pretty well but I'm not sure what the names of them are. I know I have a banana plant and a amazon sword plant, also I believe one is a water hysteria(?) and some type of potted grass I just got from Petco. As for the phosphorus remover (bags of...
