    DIY metal stand what holds 2 tanks

    Heh... Funny that... I've been welding and using O2/Acet since I was about 8. I'm only 23 now... you're not the only one. :D

    DIY metal stand what holds 2 tanks

    Having both, I've simply got to comment on the welding discussion... My old Lincoln Electric buzzbox is by far my favorite. There's just something about striking an arc with an e6011 that makes my heart go all warm and fuzzy. :wub: But having said that, I also enjoy my MIG. The only real issue...

    My BN Plec

    Here's my guy (unless someone tells me he's a she)... he's about 3" now... Pardon the filth... Cleaning day is today, not lastnight when I shot the pics.

    I got new fish!

    Today... I consider myself... the luckiest man.... to get 2 free fish. I ordered some Bolivian rams from my LFS a few weeks ago, and upon going back today, was given 2 more. (the 2 I didn't originally purchase) While I was there, I noted she had what i was actually going in to order, so I got...

    Rainbow Randolph

    First time uploading pics, be gentle. Anyhoo, that's Randolph, he's my rainbow shark. Also in the pic are 2 of the 3 Neon Rosy barbs that he lives with.

    Time to come inside...

    Just wanted to let everyone know, the fish have come in, and have been doing fine for almost a month now. :D They seem quite happy in their 39g home. But I'm sure the big guys can't wait to get back outside.

    Odd question...

    The question is could I put a Ram (either gold or blue) in my DP tank? I've got 4 DP's, and they're all quite calm in there, no chasing or picking. Also in the tank are 3 Oto's. Just a thought, I love the Rams, but I know they won't work out in my other tanks, and I've got no room for another...

    Violent Rainbow Shark?

    That was my thought on the greens. They're dark bodied, with reddish fins and markings... I thought it was a strech, but then I remembered he's a fish. Maybe he picks on the regular Tigers for associating with the Greens so closely. Guilty by association, ya know. I suppose I'll just deal...

    Violent Rainbow Shark?

    He's got more than a few places to hide. methinks he's just a prick.

    Violent Rainbow Shark?

    Picked on: 6 Tigers, 2 Green Tigers. Also in the tank but left alone are: 1 Julli Cory 1 BN Plec 3 Neon Rosy Barbs He WAS peaceful till about a week ago, now he's a huge prick. Can I slap him upside the head and make him cool again?

    Violent Rainbow Shark?

    I've got a tank full of barbs, and in that tank lives a lone rainbow shark. Recently, I've noticed that he's been quite the aggressive to the other fish. He seems to only pick on the green tiger barbs, but I've seen him go after a few of the regular tigers as well. I'm wondering if it's because...

    Time to come inside...

    Airstones will be no problem... I've got 2 or 3 pumps just kicking around waiting for something to do... (none of my tropical tanks run airstones anymore) Which is basically how this setup came about... it's all spares :) I figured I'd be alright, but sometimes you just want that little...

    Time to come inside...

    Well, around here it freezes solid, and my little 90g "pond" is going to fall victim to this as well. All that's living in there is a pair of goldfish (feeders purchased at the store for $0.29 each), a pair of fantails (from a friend) and a frog (wild, got here on his own... apparently likes it)...

    Imitator or Travancoricus?

    YAY! (not threadjacking... I swear) Thank you Lady for revealing to me that there is also a blue dwarf... which explains why some of the DP's I got on Sunday have really shiny blue spots and some have run of the mill black spots... :D Now I'm happy!

    Floating snail = dead snail?

    Well, when I got home, he was back at his post, cleaning away... Moral of the story... snails are stupid. Bring on the Puffers! (I'm getting some on sunday :D :D )

    Floating snail = dead snail?

    Please refer to the subject... I'm unable to tell, but if he's dead, I don't want him just floating around in the tank... Gold Inca snail (to the best of my knowledge) he's never floated before (to the best of my knowledge) I wont' be heartbroken... but I will be sad... for a moment. Be blunt.

    Upgrading filter

    Check out the Cascade filters. I've got a Cascade 200 on my 26gal bowfront, and I LOVE it. I was a hard sell on it, but I'm glad my GF refused to buy anything other than this one. My major issues with it was it looked very gimickey, and cheap... but it performs like a champ. Quiet, easy to...

    Figure 8's in Freshwater

    Well... I've got till the tank cycles to look for something... If F8's are as out of the question as everyone says they are, and I cant find South Americans (haven't seen em yet, been looking at verious LFS for WEEKS at puffers exclusively) How many dwarfs can I put in my 10g? And what would go...

    Figure 8's in Freshwater

    There is much discussion amongst keepers of puffers as to what conditions Figure Eight's come from. The general consensus is that they can survive in freshwater, brackish and marine if correctly conditioned although they tend to do slightly better in brackish conditions. Naturally they are...

    Super noob!

    Alright, I've tried my hand at the ol' Planted tank bit. And as of right now, all of my plants are flourishing... all but one. Now everyone point, laugh, and call me an idiot under your breath... but are you supposed to "de-pot" the potted plant? It's the only one not growing like weed in the...

    would it be ok to stick 2 filters in???

    :D Pretty sure that number is per hour... 300gal a minute through a tube that small is pretty impossible using a simple impeller. With flow like that, you'd have more fish stuck to the end of the filter tube than you had in the tank to start with. /Wishes he could figure out the PSI really...

    New Tank!

    I can't believe all you fish fanatics can't come up with some cool suggestions. I thought about Cichlids, but wouldn't they want more horozontal area as opposed to vertical?

    Good Fish Shops

    All About Animals 381 John Fitch Highway Fitchburg MA 01420 Not just an LFS, but also a caring pet store. All the fish, and actually, all of the animals are rediculously well cared for. The owners hand pick the fish stock, as opposed to having it shipped in. Very knowledgeable, extremely...

    New Tank!

    Well, what I want inside the tank are things that don't really go together... (see also: the "community tanks" of my childhood) and, quite frankly, the lady doesn't care for any of the livebearing species. The original thought was to transfer the current 29 gallon into the 26 gallon, and run...

    New Tank!

    It all started earlier today... My lady and I had been discussing another tank for a few days, and decided to go and look at prices today. We had no intent of purchase, and went to one of my local LFS that I had been to only once. I had a really good feeling about the place, as the owners are...

    Stinky Cloudy Tanky

    As for recent checkings, those numbers are from lastnight. As for the color of the cloudy-ness... It looks white in the tank, but upon pumping out the water, it makes my white bucket look green. Having thought it might be algae, I've had the light off for the last few days in an attempt to let...

    Stinky Cloudy Tanky

    Okay folks, here's the deal. My 29 gallon smells and is cloudy, and I don't know why. It's currently housing 1 itty bitty cherry barb (a mistake, accidently hopped in the bag at the lfs) 1 red finned shark (rainbow shark) and 4 neon rosy barbs. Also in the tank are roughly 6 plastics, 1 live...

    Betta Bow-Front Double Tank Kit

    I've owned a few of these, and had really good luck with them, but the trick is not to use the divider. Just one betta per tank. The valve on the bottom is extra convienent. Maybe I'm the only one that likes em, but Mr. Fishypants (the betta watching me type right now) doesn't seem to mind. As...

    Hey there folks, the name's Hank. As of right now, I've got a 29gal with sharks and barbs, a 5.5gal with some goldfish, and a .75gal Betta. Just joining up to meet some people and talk fish. -Hank
