If instead of a 90 I did a 75, would anything have to change? There's a place near me that's running a deal on 75's with a nice wood stand that saves ~$100 and I'm finding that very tempting. Plus it's a new 75 vs. a factory 2nd 90, both Perfecto which is pretty much dominant around here since...

So, I was wandering through the LFS and I had an idea and I wanted to check my sanity. For a hospital or breeding tank, can I just keep a 10 gallon in the stand below the main tank? I was thinking that I can get already cycled water from the main tank whenever I need it for either of those...

Since there are no plants would there be any advantage to having compacts instead of regular flourescents? Will twin tube flourescents be bright enough or would 2x65 compacts be better?

I picked up some play sand today. I'm planning to have some limestone and some darker rocks for the main rockwork with some smaller river rocks scattered about for effect. I've been rethinking my stock and am now leaning towards replacing the lab. caeruleus with lab. Hongi. Any thoughts? I...

I've pretty much decided that I'm going to use Tahitian Moon for the substrate. I mentioned using limestone rocks earlier, but I have a quick question. Being in Indiana, where the water's good and hard already, the limestone isn't going to cause problems, is it?

You wouldn't have any pictures of one of those stands, would you? It looks certainly doable and cheap, but I'd also want it to look good.

I'm planning on gettig a 90gallon aquarium and I'm looking for a stand for it. I would consider building one myself except I have no room for the tools necessary, and hence, none of the tools necessary (well, I guess I do have a hammer, but from what I've seen, not nearly enough to do anything...

I'm thinking I'll probably keep a running journal here when I finally get everything going. I've seen a few around and they seem to generate some pretty good comments.

Well, after doing some further research, the plans for this tank are on hold probably until August. I have a two and a half week trip planned in mid-July. From what I can tell, since I intend to do a fishless cycle, I'd be adding fish sometime just before I left on my trip and that just...

35 or so then? Cool. I'll probably just get a couple more of some of the ones I have listed there. Unless of course someone has an idea for yet another species. Glad that so far it looks like my thinking has been proper.

Hi all, a week or two ago I posted looking for ideas for my new tank that I'll be getting in the next month or so (Hey, I like to plan ahead :) ). I've decided that I liked the idea of mbuna's for it so I've been going with that idea in mind. I'd just like someone to look over my thoughts as a...

I realize this is a ways off still, but where's a good place to get cichlids? Should I order them online somewhere? Or should I try to get an LFS to order them in? There's a place in Louisville that seems to have a good selection, but they seem to only sell (at least online) in groups of 6...

Excellent! I knew all along the 20 would be too small, but I also knew I'd have the 90 before the size got to be a problem.

Easy to say when you're not the one that needs to cough up the funds! ;) Let's assume I stick with the 90. The balas don't have to be a part of that, even if it would be nice since I know they need room to grow.

Well, the balas are already in my 20g, though not more than 2-2.5 inches so far. If they are too big, there's some LFS around here that I can probably trade them in for something. Or... there's always bigger tanks!

Let's try this And if that doesn't work...this...Then click on Fish. The rest are Formula 1 and some pics from Atlanta (I'm assuming of little interest to those on here). Yes, that's a measurable snowfall in Atlanta.

There's a guy at work that just had a 220g tank installed at his house just for Cichlids. I think he said there'll be 15 when it's finished. I've got to get over there and check it out sometime (and of course get some pics to post back here).

Nothing really special. Just a simple 20g setup. It's been going almost a year now. The balas are recent inhabitants that will probably get moved to my 90g when I get that and get it setup in the next month or so. Setup 1 Setup 2 The balas One of the cherry barbs and the tiger barb...

Hey all. I just discovered this site a week or so ago while doing some research for my new aquarium. I've had a 20g for almost a year now (yes, I know multiple tank syndrom, just can't help myself!) and it's gone pretty smoothly (made a few beginner mistakes w/ aggressive fish, but all in all...
