I would def. recommend the eggcrate! that is some great stuff. I swear it has saved me a few times. I would add enough rock so that all of your fish can hide or get away from eachother.. I try to have at least 1 area per fish to hide... it might be a little excess.. but its a rule i tend to...

case closed haha.. that other picture is looking more and more hybrid.. who knows what its with :)

they are in a 220 lol... i have a thread started about the tank.. just search my name.. anyway.. idk its just the markings that are bothering me... ive seen some blue dolphins but never any like these... any chance we could get some different pictures? one thing on my blue dolphins is i see them...

If you are going to do the ammonia route make sure you get pure ammonia.. The ammonia should consist of just water and ammonia (ammonium hydroxide is identical to aqueous ammonia). It should have no scents, colors, or anything else. If it foams when you shake it, its probably the wrong kind...

Well... hhmm.. im having a hard time fitting those to be blue dolphins.. but idk.. these are mine.. juvies *sorry for the bad picks.. these are the fish just after being released in the tank haha*

thanks :) its been a long process!

Here are some updated pics of the tank! everything is going great now. The Frontosa didnt make it during the shipment.. only 2 lived so i end up thinking to myself it was probably an omen or something telling me not to do them haha. Right now Stocking list is 13 Blue dolphin Moorii 7...

This one of mine is really strange looking as well. I love this fish though

Haha Sorry. Right now I have 14 Blue Dolphin Moorii and 8 Synondontis Multipunctatus Today 16 Frontosa are coming in the mail.

My fish are finally starting to come in!. I got the fish in yesterday and took the pictures after they were in the tanks for an hour or so

Hey guys.. I have my new tank set up with most of the fish in and am wanting to add my last fish. I am really wanting to add **1** of these guys to this mix of fish. Tell me if this can be done. I know they are evil when kept in pairs when breeding time comes. But other than that I find Tons of...

I will be using the same kind of rock in the tank now except it will be a lot bigger. We have a local lake by us that they dig for rock. I can get tons of it for cheap. Last time 200 lbs for 20 dollars. Im sure it will cost a little bit more getting the bigger stuff. Which will also help hide...

So I was busy yesterday and decided to get the rest of the tank up and running! when i turned the lights on i was awakened by a nice scratch that i didnt see when it was dark. Zoomed Up view of it Now my tank all set up. I decided to take the bubble wall out. I thought that it made the...

Well I can live with a scratch.. Even though its a new tank :S this is good news haha

I would but that would so void my warranty on the tank lol. I will deal with it. It was bound to happen sometime! i just wish it was erm. a couple years down the road. I am adding another Rena XP3 so i will try to hide the stupid thing to the best of my skills.

Glad everyone i have talked to has thought its a scratch!... any ideas how to make it smaller besides hiding it? or actually fixing it or removing it?

Here is a zoomed up picture of it with my big lens

Ok so i got everything in my 220 and turned my lights on.. about an hour later i noticed this little mark and have never seen it before. That doesnt mean anything because when you shut the lights off on the tank you cant see it AT ALL. I can feel it only from the backside of the tank. not on the...

Here are some updated pictures of the background.

First coat of paint :D Its starting to look good! I should have tinted the primer oh well! once again wasnt thinking.

Im using inline heaters actually haha. I just stuck an extra heater to help get it warmed up. there are 2 on the tank

Plexiglass deal is not as good as i thought lol.. so thats a no go!.. I am going to look into the poster board. Does anyone have any pictures of some tanks using posterboard? I love the shiny black feel of backgrounds. Updated pics. Finally clearing up!

I was wondering.. what do you think it would look like if i got a 72 inch piece of plexiglass then painted it? good idea .. bad??

Does anyone have any ideas for a background.. I have been told to paint the back. I really dont like that idea its just to permanent for me. My luck i would badly scratch the front then be stuck using the back. So any ideas would be great

As of right now this is my total price list. At the moment it hasnt changed but will keep it updated. Rena XP1 119.99 (for the inline heaters) Fluval FX5 175 Sand 44 (end up getting way to much. Tank took about 150 lbs total) Heaters 76 ( 2 Hydor ETH 200 Watt...

Unloading Process. It didnt start out very level at first but finally did after about 2 days of sitting :D I only had problems with the Width part being level. the rest of the tank in all ways was Dead on. First filling the tank. I took a 2 days to fill the tank up completely...

Ok well here are some pictures.. Its been a VERY long process but finally done. The tank took 2 days to get in. I drove down to Omaha in a moving truck lol.. wouldnt fit in any vans. Was a very heavy load to get off the truck! finally got it in my basement and setup.

Hey guys i am getting my new tank this thursday and am wondering how many lbs of sand i will be needing? its a 220 72X24X30 I was thinking about either getting Pool filter sand or black Tahitian Moon Sand which do you guys think i should do? I will be keeping some fronts and syno petricola...

well the process has officially begun today. Filtration is almost done. Going to have Fluval FX 5 (got it brand new for 175$) with a Rena XP3(had it for a year up and running tank will be pre cycled) along with a hob filter (havent priced yet) Substrate: i was going to do black Tahitian Moon...

I got it from a local store.. i was searching online for everything then i decided to go to google and type in pet shops near sioux city and i called each one.. finding one guy who goes. i make roughly 50-100 dollars on my tanks i make more money on my fish.. then hes throwing out these numbers...

so my search is over! took a while. My new tank is a 224.3 gallon tank. I got the Tank stand lights glass top for 1000 dollars brand new with a 25 year warranty :D the brand is perfecto.. i decided not to go with glasscages. Cant wait to get it going.

part of me thinks i should just save for a bit longer.. and then get the tank with the stand etc.. I will see when i get my prices from the other 2 stores

this is a toss up! hahha i dont know what i want to do. Do you guys recommend building a stand or buying one

ok so it seems that glasscages does have great aquariums.. but what kills them is that they only have a 90 day warranty.. So yeah that is a huge put down for me. Now im looking at 2 new brands Oceanic and Great Lakes Aquariums. Does anyone know the warranty of Great Lakes Aquariums? I know...

from everyone i have heard the takes are very well reinforced like you said.. is there anyway to reinforce a tank... The only thing i could see happen would be the silicon blowing out.. but idk.. I just thought if anyone had an idea to clamp it or something.. adding extra silicon or modifying it...

thats the thing haha.. they only have a 90 day warranty... would anyone else have any good ideas on where to get a 240 gallon tank 96x24x25 for around 720 total.. something that has a better warranty?...

Ok so i am very very soon as in tomorrow going to buy a new 240 gallon glasscage aquarium for 720 dollars. :D im super excited and have read many good reviews and a couple bad but i figured thats probably how all companies are.. Would really like to hear what you guys think : ) thanks

it only gets 2 inches it looks like.. the marsilea quad one gets a lot bigger...

do you know about the marsilea minuta I really like this one. it seems like this one would work well
