    cleaning outer glass

    Automotive wax, liquid or paste. Works amazing. Water beeds up and can be toweled off after a few coats, just like your car. No overspray either.

    Melafix

    Melafix when used correctly is a great product. It should help with most fungal infections. Give it a try.

    2 aquaviews need to go - FREE

    That was very nice of you to give the tanks to those who will use them best. I give it 3 days before they are full of sickly Walmart fish. :rofl:

    Newbie Whitespot Question

    Change 1/2 the water during a gravel vac. Raise the temp to 87-88 degrees and add a little salt. Keep it like that for 2 weeks. Do another 50% water change using same temp water and SLOWLY bring the temp back down. Do not lower the temp quickly, it will kill and/or stress your fish.

    Room Temp. For a lobster..

    Room Temperature is...um.... the temperature of the room the tank is in. My lobster is in an unheated tank in my living room and keeps at 70-73 degrees.

    Particles in water

    Get some 100% polyester batting from a knitting/craft store. It works well at removing those particles, is cheap as can be and tank safe. Just cut pieces that will cover the sponge, layer 2-3 and keep changing/cleaning them every couple days.

    My Angels Just Layed Eggs

    Since they ae on the glass you should wait for the wiggler or free swimming stage to move them out of the tank. Read this and pick up at free swimming stage. http://www.angelsplus.com/breeding.htm BTW this topic has been covered before, try the search function for more info.

    Where to find a tank-safe Buddha??

    If you use this laquer paint it will seal most stone statues and make them aquarium safe. This guy uses it for ponds with the fish in mind. http://www.aquaart.com/sealants.html

    a very important question :

    I wouldn't do the bike pump thing. The piston inside is covered in grease that finds it's way out the hose. Plan B. http://www.fishtankwarehouse.com/cart/shop...=view&key=PP017

    Angel compatibility

    If those two angels decide they don't like the butterfly, it's toast. Angels can be tough cookies. But it should be OK. I have seen the two cohabitate in the LFS.

    angels spawned!!!

    If the angels are the dominant fish in the tank they can raise the fry in the community. In about 3 weeks you should have more eggs. Once they start, they don't stop breeding. Check this site out, it's where i get my info. http://www.angelsplus.com/breeding.htm Seperating the eggs will give...

    Got a shrimp, not sure of the kind

    No name yet, but this one swims around the tank and has done a fine job of cleaning up. 1 molt just after I introduced it into the tank. Anyone know which one this is? Amano? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v193/onr...sh/P5100258.jpg

    Blue Lobster Molted AGAIN!!!

    I only buy stuff there on Tuesday night or Wednesday after they get a shipment and only if it's fresh stock. Normally I go to A Lot of Fish in Babylon Village. If you have never been there, it's worth the trip just to see the tanks. It is everything that Petcosmart or that place isn't...

    Yup leave it in. Hey did you get your blue lobster at Pet Experience in Bethpage? That's where I got mine. What species is yours? I am looking for a Male Blue marron to pimp my female out to.

    Are air stones beneficial?

    Airstones will set up an upward current and swirling effect in the tank so position it in a place that will direct water toward and not away from the filter tube. Try a bubble wall, they look great!

    blue lobsters

    Not true. I have a Blue Marron (Cherax tenuimanus) and she had a habit of snipping at ANYTHING that goes by, including Plecos, angels, balas(FAST fish) et al. I seperated her, and my tropical tank is much better off. Basically it should be kept alone, or with some feeder goldfish. Here is a...

    Moving House

    I moved my tank about 6 months ago. I filled a rubbermaid tote with water, put the fish in it and brought it over here. I ran the heater and filter in the tote till my tank was set up (3 days) with no problems. Fish don't need to be in a glass aquarium, they just need their water, normal tem...

    Ich and heat

    Keep the temp up for 2 weeks and SLOWLY drop it, fish seem to react worse to temp drops than increases. Good luck.

    to ugf or not to ugf?

    Aquaclear filters are great. Keep using it and start to experiment with different media to suit your needs. I find mid-rise quilt batting to be a great mechanical filter media for the top layer. Just cut to size. http://joann.com/catalog.jhtml?CATID=97248&PRODID=11884 You can get it at craft...

    I need some water changing advice :)

    Get a powerhead and a long hose right to the toilet. Attach a rigid tube with a gravel cleaning head to the powerhead inlet and attach the long hose to the outlet with a hose clamp. That pump once primed will be enough to move the water out of the lower tank. Just make sure the...

    Never heard of these...

    Rosie minnows are exactly what they are, 10 for a dollar here on Long Island. Paul, want me to ship you 100? I am sure you can get some good breeding stock out of a sample like that.

    Ich and heat

    I respectfully disagree. I have successfully cured ich with some salt, some water changes and 88 degrees for 2 weeks. No reacurrance, no problems, no deaths. Chemicals are not always the answer, although Coppersafe does kill ich too. Read...

    Fish Growth Rate Thread.

    In order to make this a useful thread let's take some things into account for the sake of simplicity. Tank and fish are what we consider "Good" ie. grow out room, water conditions, tank mate cohabitation is ok. Basically, how fast do different fish grow, give a start and current measure. Also...

    Why a BGK? They hide all the time. Balas do better in 4 or more incriments. How about a Red tailed black, those can only be alone and do ok with rainbows and plec0s. http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/gbicolor.html You could do 2 angels and a school of cardinal tetras, that's always colorful.....
