congrat's, it looks like a good buy... :cool: now get it in your house and get it running, tanks emty look very sad to me....

cichlids for me, i like the dwarf variety, but a pair of nice tiger oscars take some beating....

Yes a vote for a pin from me aswell... can you define the statments better by putting a space in between each letter.... I.E. a. When you buy the fish try to ask the lfs staff to put as few fish per bag as posible as the fish will be less stressed that way. When choosing your fish make sure...

How do i check for oxygen content in my tank water.... :dunno: thanks

yes same here thats how i feel, all the tests were done and all is well, i guess he just didnt like the trip home... either that, or saw how much bogwood i have got and had a heart attack just thinking about the work he had to do....

i am after some oto's but they are like rocking horse **** i will get some one day, i will wait a while because they like older tanks

Hi... that is exactly the same thing that i do. i float for 30 mins to get the same temps, then open the bag and add tank water to the bag every 5 mins for 25 mins then release the fish....

Yes the tank is cycled, i has been running for well over 2 months (almost 3 months), and my test kits indicate everything is fine, i have only just started adding fish, and each time i test before and after, so far there has been fish in the tank for 2 weeks, and not so much as a change in the...

I must admit i do like a nice bright tiger oscar....

Well i bought 4 cory's yesterday 2x pepper, 1x albino, 1x bronze. i did all the stuff that you are supposed to do, and then realesed them after an hour, i woke up this morning and the bronze had died, :rip: the other 3 are fine, feeding and swimming, so that is the first fish i have lost in...

lmao, who told you that, a friendly fish shop owner..... :rofl:

Jeez you know how to make people happy.... just look at the tank i have just built.... there has to be something said about the good old undergravel filter....?

I agree with RVM, the ecco is fine, and my ehiem did NOT come with a spray bar, and it is best to get 1.

Mine is on the outside aswell... i have a rio 180. the best thing to do is try it ans see what you think, but the juwel filters are stuck on with silicone, so it will be hard to get it all the way across the back...

I had the same sort of problem as yourself, i have a jewel rio 180, in my eyes it depends what you have got in your tank, if you have plants that only need low light then go for 1 of each tube, if you have plants that need medium light then you will need to get 2 freshwater tubes (7500k), i went...

I had a feeling the puffer would be a problem, i just wanted 1 to show people an unusual fish, not to worry they will like the shrimp just as much....

Hi... the bog wood is about 8 pieces, i just wanted that sort of effect, i looked everywhere for a root system, but i could not find any, so i settled for a wall of bogwood... i don't know what i want from the planted tank side of things, i just want some plants so the tank does not look bare...

I thought i would post this tread in here as its mainly a planted question.... well my tank is set up, and running, it has been running for about 2 months now, it has taken me this long to decide what to do with it and what type of fish i would like. i would of liked about 3 tanks but my wife...

ok thanks, i have a jewel rio 180 with 2x 30w tubes, which in my estimation is 1.5 wpg so i guess i should leave this alone.....

Sorry to hijack.... jimbooo whats the moss type plant called on the second picture. thanks

Thanks for your help, i just hope they have it in stock.
