I get a bit frustrated when people buy the api test kit and just wing it rather than reading the instructions. I also have a tank where the oscars were over running the filter before i pulled out the chemical filtration and put in 2 lbs more biological media. So I decided to use this tank before...

UV canister filter on a 75 gallon tank for baby oscars. I love them. They're so darn cute

It's worth mentioning that I run a bit behind on the video production schedule so the tank is actually filled and stocked now. Two baby Oscar's.

don't forget those pine and staples stands are also like $150. I trust mine more than that at least.

Dunno, Seems to work for some reason.

I appreciate the concern. I once shared the same concern util looking at what commercial stands for 90 gallon tanks are built like. Nothing but pine, glue, and staples

I made these with a pretty simple design and basic hardware store lumber. The screws switch threads at the end so the last half inch pull the lumber together. The chop saw was purchased at a pawn shop for $40. One of the tanks is already filled with water and cycling. Stand is holding up great.

The rocks had continual brown algae growth after the plants got torn up. Now they don't. Also prevention is great right?

Got two of these guys. A big one rated for 125 gallons for my 90 gallon cichlid tank and a smaller one rated for 55 gallons for my 29 gallon community tank. The 29 gallon one has stayed spotless and the 90 has greatly improved but isn't as perfect. I have to say it works pretty well. It's a...

Yes. Right now only a few leopard geckos. Once upon a time I had a reptile rescue so I had alot of stuff. collared lizards, five keeled spiny tailed iguana, monitors. I had so much. My basement is wired for it.everything is on it's own circuits down there. It's pretty sweet.

Never lol

True but this is so easy

Buying feeders in bulk is like a 20th the price. There is no way I can go back to spending so much on feeders. Pitty I never order from the same place twice

I won these three cichlids from a local breeder at auction.

Yes. Female nurse shark

I still have everything needed in excess to take on many more reptiles so of course I obliged. This little dude Is named pocket

Right. I know that feeling.

Many of us locally remember coming here as a kid and checking out fish and reptiles. Now they just do fish on one side with dogs and cats on the other

Of course I had to take them both

Scored some Versa Top glass lids for my 90 Gallon Cichlid tank and a master text kit.

He stares at the smaller tank without blinking. All day long.

Finally got this setup cycling. Went with a gallon of starter bacterial culture. Already chewing through ammonia like a champ.

Because I'm sticking with the older under gravel filters and pumps I decided to splurge on a new 48" LED Bar. This one is more and more impressive the more I play with it. Should make my cichlids Pop!

I think I'm being paranoid but I put 3 jackstands under my 90 gallon setup. Pretty confident it'll be sturdy now. Lots of old tarantula tanks in this video. None of the reptile ones though.

The filter plugs I am waiting on wont even be here for another week even though I ordered them a week ago. So I decided to make myself feel useful by mixing up some gravel substrate and making my own color blend

No. They will upsize when it becomes needed. Once again check out the picture. The 90 will be stocked separately around November

No. The 90 wont be ready to cycle for at least a week and a half at which point we will be filling our last gallon with starter bacteria from the local aquarium shop and then we'll begin our cycle. When these other fish grow they will go up in tank size but if you look at the uploaded picture...

I do appreciate your concern for the well being of the fish. I'll upload a picture to show you just how empty the tank actually is. Says my Pic is too large. Will the fish in this tank outgrow the the capacity of this tank? Absolutely. Right now all my fish are so small that they occupy next to...

It took pretty much all day to clean out this tank, filter, lid, and pump setup. By the end of it I was pretty over it.

Well right now the shark is under and inch and a half and so is the angel fish. The guppies are about and inch and the loach is maybe 3 inches. As they get bigger my LFS offers the option to trade in toward whatever I wish. In fact they just got 3 rainbow sharks at 7 inches from a trade...

Yeah dude, It's pretty much empty. So way overstocked. Of course the shark gets bigger and will need a bigger tank but for now it's fine

My water is reverse osmosis filtered. All 90 gallons. My lfs provides testing and starter bacteria free. My fish store owner and I went to classes together. I currently have a 10 gallon with a red tail shark, koi angel fish, a dojo loach, and 3 fancy guppies

Yes. My lps is a LFS. They are great but all of their distributors are in states that don't allow piranha

The only problem is my lps can't get them and I'm failing to find them online

Hello everybody, I've recently decided to branch out into fish. For the past 8 years I've kept, raised, and bred dozens of species of Tarantula including some of the most demanding old world specimen. During that time I ran a reptile rescue with at one point 27 lizards. my entire basement was...

That's super cool.

In the wall is neat. Any finished pictures?

I was just concerned because it was built like a 10 gallon stand which has to hold 100lbs not 800lbs

True. I bought it because it was half price and I like to support local retailers. As a local small business person I feel it is my duty to support them. For instance I could have bought my led bar online and had it here already but I don't need it until I get the tank cleaned and setup so why...

I scored this 90 gallon tank stand from a lps for half price after some minor shipping damage. Well looking closer it's only assembled with wood glue and staples. I know the stand supposedly will support a full 90 gallon tank but the tank is over 100 lbs and 90 gallons of water is 720 lbs, and I...
