looks good i would only do a few things I would put the filter intake closer to the corner, move the filter return a little higher to the surface and use it for a bit of surface tension break, and I would move the heater down a bit to just be in line with the rock unless the rock is right...

most assuredly I agree I went last night to a private lfs to get some food to try on my daughters red devil. I just moved my brackish tank upstairs now a 70g tall with sand and some live rock and two shells for my 7 dragon gobies, but I wanted to add some fish that move a bit more in the top...

I really believe my aro will be fine, my wife constantly calls me dr. doomuch( not dolittle because im so busy) because of this strange relationship I have with animals. I used to think I was just a little off by what I was seeing with the many animals I have kept in my life, but, my wife says...

well with the backdrop, the museum artists are going to be painting a recreation of some of the surrounding displays to give it a killer look. I added some marimo moss balls and some dwarf lily banana plants to the tank to give a bit of real plant to the tank and I might actually place the...

well last night I added the first 2 new tank mates to the museum, I decided rather than rehoming the present gar I would grow new tankmates to a size where they would not be seen as food, with the exception of the arow that I put in last night with the knife. I am trying to grow out 2 florida...

for your info a gar is like a snake they will eat whatever they can fit down their mouth I watched my 7 inch gar eat a molly that was easily 3 times the width of its head and the gar powered it down

there is no set time frame for getting it set up but the desire is to get it righted forthwith I should be able to get the new fish in the gar tank within the weekend as I have a seeded filter ready to go on and should have the water quality in line by the weekend As far as I can tell this...

ok so rounds 1 and 2 of tearing down and cleaning up the museum fish room are over and done. Thankfully, the people there went with 100% agreement with my suggested plan of action and allowed me to totally dejunk the place. When done there will be a 75g tank with heated water to be used for...

I HAVE TO EXPLAIN BETTER IN DETAIL MY REASONING actually i have done my best to try to set up these kenyi in a place where they would be well off but the personality of the one adult is very nasty and the juvi is picking up and mimicing the adult. I have tried for some time to rehome this...

actually when I first looked at the tank i thought so too but took measurements from the back where the tank is maintained so that I could properly know what liquid volume it was so as to not overstock I also needed to know the volume so as to properly set up the new filtration i put the...

Actually the species of triops i am thinking of for this tank grow to 4 inches and make a great food source for catfish and are a very renewable resource since they reproduce easy and there is a fish room where I can run other tanks 1 for feeders, one for shrimp one for triops breeding look at...
