Maybe the gravel contains some crazy new way of absorbing and holding ammonia or nitrate, but that would absorb only so much. could be some sinister way of selling a product. oh well at least government corruption is at 33% :( (oops, sorry, I'm a bit off topic there). :D

Here is my car, for anyone that doesn't know what it is.... Really, how in the heck can you not know what it is??? 8) PS. FishHeads, Nice rims, but, uhhh, You put them on a minivan!! A MINIVAN!!! not a lamborghini, Mclaren f1 LM. I guess some people just can't tell the difference.

Thanks, but my tank is on a hardwood floor so if I use shims, then the pressure will be too great on certain spots on the floor. I am worried it will compress right into the wood.

I have my 90 gal tank and stand all ready to accept water but how do I make the tank level, the floor is not perfectly level and the stand is 99% level. Can I just put some foam under the tank and it will level itself or is there some other way? :blink:

I made it using 3d studio max, and you can build it to any specs you have, I plan on using 3/4 inch plywood on the sides and inside posts, then on everything else MDF painted with clear coat to seal it. I don't personally like the wood textures much, I just did it so every one could tell what is...

Thanks for the tips Rose, I have never had plants before and they may not even survive with me, but I can always try. :D

They won't let me put pictures anywhere else, so Im just gonna put the assembly pics here too. hope nobody will mind.

Thanks for the comments, Mike777; I thought to cover all the wood in automotive clearcoat, that should protect it good, eh? Inchworm; I'm going to put the wet\dry trickle filter underneath, and then all the other stuff. I can't agree with you more, fishkeeping is addictive, this is my fourth...

Here is what I may building for my tank, I don't know if I should go with this or a welded one from my LFS. any suggestions?

thanks for the help, I didnt even think to put the tank in line to be supported by all the beams not two or three. Can anyone tell me how to level the tank, do I put a big peice of styrofoam under the whole thing or what??? :S And, yes all I can think of when I'm awake is how cool the whole...

I just got a new 90 gal tank and have not set it up yet, I'm guessing it will weigh about 800-1000 pounds when the tank and wet/dry filter are both full of water. Has any one had a problem with their floor falling from the weight, or any serious damage?? I am gonna be setting it up on the...

I just put in a fish food flake or two every few days for a month and added 2 capfulls of Cycle every week (25 gal tank), a month later and the levels were perfect.

I've had a Fluval 104 for over 2 years and I've got no complaints about it. the impellor shaft for a 104 at petland is only 9 canadian dollars, not bad, eh? When i clean the tubes i just conect then to my sink tap turn on the hot water, and then squeeze parts of the tube to dislodge any...

I agree with freshmike, a wet/dry sump would work best.

I don't understand why it is so hard to use a backdrop. I just cut mine to the size of the back panel, then put clear hockey tape on the side edges. it looks just fine.

I use a fluval 104 on my 25 gal tank and it works wonders, I can hardly hear it, and it is very easy to use, the thing has a valve that shuts off the flow when i disconnect it from the tank to bring it over to the sink to clean it. It also comes apart very easily, And it has lasted me for over 2...

You can find acrylic at most any hardware stores, and the glass, well... maybe a glass store? ;)

I had the same problem with my hagen air pump, but I also had excess noise from several other things including my fluval 104. I just added sound proofing to the inside of my tank stand. a 4 x 8 sheet is just 45 (canadian) dollars at my hardware store. now i barly hear anything. (Make sure you...

why not just use a battery operated air pump, it is ideal for a power outage.

I have seen neat looking dividers in petland they arent very expensive 12$ canadian. very easy to install.

I have just purchased a new 90 gallon tank and want to grow some plants in it, can anyone suggest some fairly easy ones that will be good with barbs? I have had a 25 gal tank for 3 years now and I am getting bored with the fake plastic. Also can someone suggest a substrate for plants to grow...

I am curious about adding the UVC because I don't want to harm the ammonia and nitrite eating bacteria, if the UVC kills all microorganisims doesnt that include the good bacteria that resides in my tank? -_-

I am Looking for some interesting fish that school together and will look good in a 90 gallon tank, anyone have some ideas? thanks.

I have had a 25 gallon freshwater tank for 3 years now and am getting a little bored with it, I have bought a new 90 gallon tank and have built a wet/dry filter for it. I also have an ultra violet clarifier for it. my question is should I use the UV light in my setup, and should I put it before...
