Gooday, welcome to the forum. PH of 7.6 isn,t that far off from your "perfect 7.2" A small difference like that wont be harmfull to your fish. Unless you have really sensitive fish like discus theres no need to alter the ph just to get it "perfect". A LFS owner put it to me like this: If we go...

Some great answers! See, I tried to make a limit but the thought of having won lotto has sent people into a world of imagination and dreams, long live the dream!

I,de come back as a bottlenose dolphin and I wouldn,t like to come back as a jellyfish.

This isn,t from any aquarium book or site or anything but I,ve been growing hydropnically now for over 15 years and theres is something I can tell you about light spectrum. Now I dont know the scientific reason for this but this is only my observation and that of my hydroponic friends. When...

Hi Guys and Gals, If you were to win lotto tommorrow what would be your ultimate aquarium setup? I,m talking home aqaurium here so shall we say nothing bigger than what 6 guys could move.

This is my one tonner work hack. Its got a 3.2lt V6 that pumps out 140kw. The rear end is too light, its fun to drive in the wet!

Nice pic. I have a Germain shephard myself. When I was doing some research on germain shephards I found they were actually bred from the wolf. The original name for them use to be the germain wolfdog.

Oh Man, there are some seriously gorgeous hot females here. I had no idea some of the posts were coming from such beautiful women. :wub: Heres me at Kalbarri.

I just saw a report on the news last night. In england a scientist has just finished doing experiments with fish, I think he used carp or something simular. He had trained them to go into a box where there would be food after he had blown a siren. He left them for 6 months and then tried the...

Shouldn,t it be listed on the side of the bottle?

My barbs only swim head down when something is amiss. The first time they did the nitrites were too high, the second time there was an itch outbreak. I would deffinately be working on getting your nitrites down to 0 before using any medications or anything. Another tell tale sign of nitrite...

Um, I was going to say something but I,ve forgoten. :D

I think we are all guilty to some point wether we like it or not. If there was no demand there wouldn,t be a tropical fish trade in the first place. On the other hand, Mike Wickham in his book makes a good point: Wouldn,t it be great to be the first person to breed a species in captivity. If we...

Did you know fish are the smartest creatures in the world because they are always in schools! :D

Hi Anna, I asked you a question on someone elses post but you may not have seen it. You mention Protazin quite often. Can you tell me whats in it and percentages please. Sometimes we can,t get the same products here but I,m sure if I knew whats in it I,ll be able to find an equivalent product...

If thats an air pump youre talking about theres something I read elsewhere you can do. Wrap the pump in a tea towel or something simular and put it in a jar. Drill a hole in the lid just big enough to fit the airtube and powercord through. Then cut the lid in half using a hacksaw and then glue...

I,m about to install a Carbo-plus unit in my aqaurium and as I haven,t put CO2 into an aquarium before theres some things I want to ask people who use CO2. If my understanding is right, water agitation at the surface is the biggest killer of disssolved CO2 in the water. Should I stop producing...

Hi Colin, roughly working out you have about 12-13 gallons. Good lighting for plant growth is a minimum of 2 watts per gallon you can see straight away that you don,t have enough light. The tube you have is good but not enough by itself. If you can try adding another 15watt (this is minimum)...

Thanks everybody for the nice comments. Yes UM3R, all the plants are real. Camera used is a sony dsp-30 1.3mg . All the closeups were using the macro setting.

Hiya people, thought you might like to have a look at some nice planted tanks. Planted Tanks

Hi Chelle, hope everything works out for you. I know the fealing of having sick fish isn,t nice but hang in there! Anna, when mentioning medicines, it might be an idea to mention the ingredients as well as the brand/name. It seems a lot of treatments for ich and fungas use the same ingredients...

When your tank finishes cycling, ( you may have created another cycle by replacing your sponges) you may want to look at plants for keeping the nitrates in check. I have a big fish load and my nitrates hardly ever go over 5ppm, most time its at 0ppm though because I have 20 odd plants using the...

Geez, whats next, a computer that changes water for you, feeds your fish and tells them bedtime stories? :D

Excellent clear pics, what camera did you use and what settings?

OK one more....

Last one: The whole tank again.

Some of the cherry barbs.

One more of the family.

One more of the Bristlenoses.
