i tried the fx5 about 3 years back on one of my other tanks but had to replace it twice. the store i bought it from said it wasnt the first to come back. and yeah once some of my smaller fish get a bit bigger they will have to be moved to another tank forsure

hey everyone, just picked up a jack today that was dropped of at the local pet store. just wondering if anyone has seen a jack like this or is it a hybrid. its much more vibrant than my current jacks.

anyone...

could i run a couple t5s along side a couple normal florecent lights.

a friend of mine has a tank like this except its a bar top, for lighting he used modified thearapy stone lighting, there fake rocks with lights in them and in a aquarium like this they look really nice. i took a quike look on google images and this is kinda what they look like

hey everyone, im looking to get lighting for my aquarium but what should i look for, the tank is a cichlid tank with no plants, 104 inches long and 24 inches wide, the local pet store recomended t5s and quoted me 600 buck which im not willing to pay, i would like to have good lighting but am...

isnt cement suppost to be bad for fish, people always say that concrete ponds need a liner

prob is it has a glass front. its all wood 104x28x24 with the front being glass so a liner would not work. ive herd that some boat resins are ok to use in aquariums

does any one know any products i can coat my wood tank with. i ordered pond armour from their website about 16 weeks ago and still havent recieved anything from them yet and the service has been terrible. is there any other products like pond sheild

petstore replaced it with a fluval powerhead, its submersible

my 4th aquaclear 70 powerhead in a about 18 months just kicked the bucket. they have the stupid waterline setup on them and if a little water evaporates from the tank you have to adjust them, i had two die last year from the water level slightly dropping so the third one i had gotten i decided...

i built a trickle tank that would be capable of holding about 20 gallons ( guess i never mentioned it was for trickle.. sorry ) but just looking for an idea on what others have used, i also noticed that the local hardware store sells hagen biomax for a fraction of what the pet stores sell it...

1 gal bucket filled to the top, thats how most of them are sold. im going to be running my pair of fluval 405s with the balls for the first while

hey everyone, im setting up my new tank and jsut wanted to know how much bioballs i should use in my trickle setup, the local petstore sells them for $15 a gallon. there is about 300 gallons of water to be filtered. thanks

did you use silicone to adhere the glass, im just finnishing my 265 gall thats made from wood and some people where i live suggested a polyurathane product. i got the inside of the tank coated wth a layer of fiberglass mat and resin as an extra incase the pond armour does ever leak and am going...

yeah so the savinis must go as there starting to get a little bigger there getting alot more aggressive, i noticed this morning that my perfectly healthy firemouth was fighting with the salvini, the fire mouth WAS three times bigger than the salvini yet the salvini killed him by the time i got...

i thought of doing a wood aquarium, heres the layout i was going to use, the only thing extra i was going to do was add a single layer of fiberglass mat and resin under the epoxy so if the epoxy were to leak it would not rot the wood. what epoxy were you going to use. 8x2x2 240 gal

def a bad idea, you cant make brick with out chemicals.

well i thought about wood but i plan on setting the aquarium in my livingroom on a stand and not in wall, the wood would take alot of effort to make look decent where as the metal is thin and the powdercoat would give a nice glossy finnish inside and out. however if it the aquarium was in the...

yeah ive thought about using stainless, ill price it up when the shop is open. i was also thinking i could just coat the inside with the pond liner stuff

i havent found an aquarium this size for under 2k and im yet to find any reputable companies to build a tank, i have found a petstore about an hour away that can get me a marineland 265 gal for 2k plus shiping to there store but they dont insure the shipping so if it get broken in its travel its...

the only reason i am wanting to use glass is for scratch resistance, it does not happen often but every once and a while my oscar or my jack with freek out and slam ornaments against the glass, but the acrylic on the other hand can easily be drilled and bolted to the steel

im not sure what is in the powedercoat but i can find out, the powdercoat he is using is common black that he uses for automotive puposes like frames and suspension parts. the reason i thought powdercoat would be best is becouse of durabillity and the abuse it can take without chipping

i called around today and there is a guy locally that will media blast and powdercoat the inside of the tank for 200 or 250 for inside and out, the powdercoat should disgared any worries of rust or corrosion, i think :unsure: if so im only looking at a little over $1000
