thanks guys, boy I really like the discus but It seems so far that my tank isnt ready for them. I have the 55gallon, a BIG piece of driftwood, some rocks, sand bottom with some fake plants.. And unfortunatly nice and empty of fish. Another bad thing, my kit may be bad cause I havnt used it in...

Im looking into getting discus as well. I have a 55gallon tank with a marinland 350 w/bio wheels, I have sand as a bottom, with a large piece of driftwood, rocks, and fake plants. The tank is up and running and currently has no fish. Im looking to go with three discus to start with, I need a...

have any other people here had fish with there Clawed frogs? Would they possibley be ok with something as long as the fish was bigger than the frog?

Thanks Jamnog and reg2k2 Next time i go home (this thursday) I will do a reading out of the tap. Im not even completely sure how high the PH actually is because the test kits I have (test strips) only go to 8.4. No ammo-chips, using magnum 350 pro (using carbon media and of course the...

no I havnt taken out the rocks, I am hopeing to deal with the high PH because I spent 50 bucks on the rocks and dont feel like throughing them out into the yard. does anyone have any thoughts on the PH?

May 1rst water check Hardness 250ppm Alkalinity 300ppm PH 8.4 Ammonia .25 another week later.. May 8th Hardness 250 Alkalinity 300 PH 8.4 Ammonia .25 I started my cycle on the 20th of April, The ammonia level has been at .25 for at least 15 days. Should this start going down soon? I havnt...

lol... sounds like a great plan Tanked

what kind of fish do you have in with the lobster?

nice kittie :P

Well I also agree its rubish, I never said I was using it, I said that my dad brought it home with him. I just wanted to see what other members thought of it and to see if anyone actually used it. I was thinking about using it like gadazobe uses's Interpet Flora balance. Gadazobe, are these...

on the subject of water changes, how do you all feel about this product Tetra Easy Balance I didnt purchase it... My helpful dad brought it home, just wondering your thoughts.. thanks

I just set my 55gallon up with a Magnum 350 pro kit (canister filter), I found this to be a very complete kit (even comming with vacuum attachment), carbon, filter media, all hardware, dual biowheels. I havnt had experiance with any other filters really so my opinion is somewhat scewed...

hmm, ok, yeah my Albino is a clawed frog.. very young right now, no bigger than in inch long (not including legs) I thought it would have been the other way around, the puffers picking on the frog, just a thought, maybe I will leave my frog in the other tank and find some other tank mates for...

the puffers dont bother the dwarf frog at all? I currently have an albino frog in a 25 gallon and my big tank is almost ready for fish (puffers, either dwarf or figure 8's prolly) and I was affraid that the frog might not be the best choice to have in with them

I loved those days, enjoy the HS years, my senior year was to date the best time of my life :wub:

I dont think anyone should respond to anything shark89 says, people like this love the attention. The best thing to do is ignor the behavior, not encourage it. And I think any issues mod's take up with him should be done behind the scenes, wheather in PM's or emails. just my opinion. And of...

good stuff, i like it too

Im jealouse... the step-mom wont let us get a long haired cat cause she is allergic :(

Hardness 120ppm Alkalinity 300ppm PH 8.4 Ammonia 0.25 let me know what you guys think about the cycle... and also should I do water changes? im using fish food to make ammonia.. fishless cycle also.. should I be using my paper filter in my magnum 350 instead of the carbon?

ok, i am curently cyclying my tank (fishless used fish food)... I am using my magnum 350 with the carbon... so I should be using the paper filter that came with it? I was under the impression this was used for polishing... thanks

i must say im glad im not allergic to anything, My step mom is allergic to just about everything (we just found this out) and thats why she got sick all the time hope you get better :thumbs:

thats a soweet piece of wood you got in there.. oh yeah.. and nice fish too! You got a nice mix in there :P

add have to say I like the last picture of the jewel the best and a close second would be the labido in the barrel.. im jealouse of that barrel ;) looks like you have some healthy fish! thanks for sharing

those are definitly some pretty loaches, i love how bold the colors are

hmm :/ that would explain the rise in hardness The Alkalinity went up actually, I put the ~ to mean approximate not minus, Im not sure if you made the mistake of reading it wrong or maybe made a goof while typing? But I guess regarless, there was a fluctuation like you said and PH stayed...

thanks and I like the turkey baster idea.. good stuff

hey guys and gals First day Hardness - 0-25ppm Alkalinity - 120-180ppm PH - 8.4 Ammonia - 0 Added goldfish food and some tetra flakes 3 days later (today) Hardness - 250ppm Alkalinity - ~300ppm PH - 8.4 Ammonia - still at 0 what do you guys think about this? I have some fosilized rock in...

thanks guys I was thinking the same thing, seems like alot of food would get lost in the rocks, I also have fosilized ocean rock in my tank too, with tons of nooks and crannies for stuff to get lots in, luckily I am hopeing that my Magnum 350 with cleaner attatchment will beable to suck out...

thanks, I'll check out those shrimp, you dont happen to have a picture do you? yeah... I didnt think about supermans method, unfortuantly my tank is already all set up.. but in the future that is def a posibility.

just wondering if anyone knows about Lace Rock/ volcanic rock, and if the composition is dangerouse for aquatic life..

thanks for the feedback, I checked them out. here is a cool site for anyone intrested in more puffers puffers im also thinking about a tetraodon shoutedeni, the article says they have a peaceful temper except at breeding time. I just hate the idea of getting too obsessed with this hobby and...

and this one too...... LMK let me know

hmm. thanks pufferpack, I never thought about an attack while sleeping, i knew they would be smart enough to stay away from him, but if there sleeping I guess they arent to aware are they.... I dont know if the size of my tank will make a difference or not. I have a 55 gallon tank, I guess I...

I was wondering if any of you know anything about Electric Blue Lobster's, my LFS has one and its simply awsome looking, I would like to get it for my 55gallon tank, I plan on trying out Malawi's and figure eight puffers. any info on electric blue lobsters would be appreciated. thanks

here is my tank, I'd like to add some more decor in the future and I am also waiting for it to cycle so i can add fish :P Here is a monster size picture 1280x960

big :D

thanks

and another thing, I cant find pure ammonia, I really dont think it is possible (at least in the states) Most schools dont even have pure ammonia. Therefore I have opted for decomposing fish food method (fishless cycle). I added some 88cent goldfish food and a little bit of flake food from...

those puffers are cool, i want to get some figure 8's for my tank love those puffers :P
