if the filter media is well established then i wouldnt worry about it too much,   that is assuming the filter media was always wet and you didnt let it dry out during this process

a picture would probably help, im a bit confused about what you are saying

  to make sales, sell inventory....   their job is not to turn customers away and talk them out of a sale, then the customer will just go elsewhere, to another store, i believe i have said that all along

  if i have done enough research about the car in advance (like i should have) then i would know the salesman is lying to me you are not guaranteed that one of these will happen just because a potential customer enters your store,   neither of these would happen if a LFS employee talks somebody...

  i don't agree with that at all,   its not a salesmans job to tell you what kind of car you need, thats the customers job,   if i buy a car and find out after a few days driving that i dont really like the car, and the car is missing some key features that i like, i wouldn't blame the salesman...

after looking closer,   the pics would look alot better if she had longer and well manicured/painted fingernails   just an observation

  it doesn't matter, if they have bala sharks for sale in the store, they are there to be sold, thats why they have them in the store,   if i go into a grocery store and buy chicken, does the store make sure i know how to cook the chicken properly before i leave? no, they dont care, as soon as i...

if one appears chances are there are many more to come,   brace yourself for a snail infestation in the near future

  in the business world, the customer is always right, you give them what they want

it is a business, a LFS is there to make sales and make money, just like any other business,   im not agreeing or disagreeing with you,   but you have to remember that the "fish scoopers" are there to do just that, bag fish for people,   i dont know about you, but if i owned a fish store and one...

  this is good advice, however, its much easier to just feed your fish the proper amount/not overfeed   this way no removal is nessessary,   put food in at small amounts, if all the food is gone in 30 seconds or a min, then you can give them a bit more,   its alot easier to add more food in...

are you sure that measurment is correct?   a 5mm crisp/pellet is far too big for your fish,   i would highly recommend changing to a good quality flake food like tetra min, or omega one,   your fish should be consuming all of the food within 2-3 mins,   if there is still food in the tank after...

cool....looks like she blows well....bubbles i mean

cool....who is the hot chick?

  thats fine, just dont overfeed and you will be okay   maybe up the waterchanges to 30-40% every week, just make sure to use dechlorinator

  meh....if the tank is properly taken care of/maintained, i wouldnt say 19 small fish is overstocking a 34L

a tank without any substrate will stay alot cleaner,   i would do a 25% water change once a week,   clean filter media every 2-3 weeks,   clean glass as nessessary (every few weeks should do it)   although this can vary depending on what your feeding, how often, and how much your feeding

  you can have the water level as high as you want, the water level is determined by the length/height of the overflow pipe, he cut it short as an example, you could have that pipe within 1mm of the top of the tank, and thats where the water height/level would be   yes i agree, i would use...

  why?   that could happen with any sump/drip system

    yeah i have been thinking about doing a drip system on my 300 gallon, i might do it and use this as the overflow

a good video i found for those who want an overflow on their tank for a sump or drip system, no need to drill the tank.....   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65yVr7DiDls

an empty plastic pop bottle works well,   i have made one in the past just because i wanted to try it, it worked very well, however sponge filters are so cheap you dont end up saving much money, if anything, and the sponges that come with the filters pretty much last a lifetime, so no media to...

pulled pork in the slow cooker, wont be ready for another 8 hours but smells great

  you arn't the only one,   that gave me flashbacks to high school math class

    i never knew there was such a thing

never use bleach to clean anything thats going into an aquarium

    i hope not....the tank in that video is way too small for tinfoil barbs

cloudy water is somewhat normal at first for a newly setup tank, you need to let your tank/filters cycle....this could take 4-6 weeks, after the cycling period your water will clear up, then you can start adding fish

if you want more flow buy yourself a powerhead, not another filter

    fish are not children, you can not control their behavior,   if you recently purchased these fish i would recommend waiting at least a week to see if they calm down,   after that you can decide what you want to do with them

i wouldnt recommend keeping less than 6 tinfoils, they are alot happier in big groups,   a 110 gallon tank is borderline size for 6 tinfoils, they should have at least a 6 foot tank as they are active swimmers, most 110 gallon tanks are not that long,   i have kept many tinfoils and in my...

not powerful enough for a 125L in my opinion,   if you are happy with that filter i would suggest buying a second one,   put half the media from your old filter into the new filter, and put half new media in each filter

  nothing you do will stop this,   they can become very aggressive once they mature, chances are its going to get worse, he will most likely start latching right onto the sides of your fish and suck the slime and scales right off them

    most people do it for bottom dwellers like plecos

use an elastic band to tie it to a rock, that will keep it on the bottom of the tank,   you can do this with whatever you like, cucumber, zucchini, lettuce, etc etc

  who cares?....make it fit   cut the foam if you have to and make it fit,   as long as water is flowing through the media it doesn't matter if it "fits" properly or not

  i never suggested putting 30+cm adult bala sharks in your tank, where did you read that? they would never get that big in your tank   why not a school/shoal of 2-3 inchers?   they would live a much happier and healthier life in your 6 foot tank as opposed to a kid buying them for his 20 gallon...

welcome

put the filter media from the old filter into the new filter
