you don't think 800gph out of "2" x 90 gallon filters is enough filtration? I can't imagine that to be correct. My tank is running at 79 currently and maintains at that. It is temperature matched at water change time and i do a 40 percent change once a week. I also vacuum a couple of times a...

The link I posted from the calculator already includes the fish I already have. I know that some of these calculator sites can be untrustworthy and was hoping for some feedback from the experienced folk around here.

Hello everyone, I made an impulse purchase on some dwarf water lettuce off of ebay. :rolleyes: Well It showed up not looking to happy so I pulled it out, rinsed it, put it in a bowl of water and set it on the window sill to see if I could liven it up. Now is there something I could do to help...

Black card sounds like a good idea, I did not want mine to be permanent, so I went to a sign shop and got a piece of adhesive black vinyl that I applied to the back of my tank. Looks good and I can always peel it away if need be.

Ive got a 50 ft Aqueon Water changer, and 3 tanks. It hits all of them with the hose run to the nearest sink! Water changer I posted the 25 footer, but you get it... :)

Im still new to alot of different tropical fish, but won't Angels eat guppies?

Alot of times when I cant tell if the ammonia test is green or yellow, I pay close attention when I pour it out into the white sink. Alot of times if I think its yellow, pouring it out into a white sink will reveal it's actually light green.

So, I took the Red Eyed Tetras back to the store! I came home last week and My wife and son said HAPPY BIRTHDAY! as my little boy pointed over to the Big Tank. I looked over and my heart sunk... at first :rolleyes: . They had gone to the LFS that I frequent, picked out some really nice turquoise...

BTW Thank you very much for the compliment. I worked hard to achieve the most realistic look I could. The plants sway really naturally in the flow as well. My wife was very happy with the way it turned out. I think she secretly thought it would look tacky. lol

Thanks for the input. I like the way the dwarf rainbows looked in the store and I went back and watched them for about 3 days in a row. I just really enjoyed the schooling action of the Tetras. It was more uniform and calming. The Dwarfs just wouldn't settle down enough for me to enjoy them...

Ok, so I have my first inhabitants. I introduced a school of 15 redeye Tetras into the tank on Saturday. They seem at home by today and seem to have fun zipping back and forth across the front glass. Schools of fish are so cool. :good:. I am the worst when it comes to having a definitive plan. I...

Update! Cold Cathode kit is on the way to install DIY moon lighting! Dwarf Rainbows soon to come!

Oh for sure! Cycle Cycle Cycle! Just playing the waiting game lol

Yeah I'm a Texans guy myself. Unfortunately Cowboys fans can support the Texans when in the playoffs, but Texans fans are labeled as Blasphemers if they support the Cowboys Lol. It's a shame. So are you able to support an Aquarium being stationed there?

I just realized ya'll are both from Texas. Whereabouts?

Ok, So phase II is complete! Silk plants and cichlid stones! I know it is not as exciting as a planted tank, but I am happy with it, what do you think. I may rearrange the stones on the left side.

ok, here is the revised stocking list Boesemani Rainbows Dwarf Neon Rainbows Corydoras Apistogramma Cacatuiodes Bolivian Rams Now, ##150### seems to think that a dwarf puffer would work fine in this community. What say you? Please forgive my ignorance as I only understand what I have recently...

Alright, so my revised stocking list is Boesemani Rainbows Dwarf Neon Rainbows Apistogramma cacatuiodes Bolivian Rams Bumblebee cories Now, from all of the info gathered, this community should work fine together. ##150### seems to think that a single dwarf puffer would be fine as well, is this...

ok, so I went to the LFS on my lunch break and I really like the melanotaenia praecox I think a school of about 12 of those would be way cool. I might knock the Tetras out of this list all together.

I got this one in black stand Cool, I am not however really into hatchet fish. They just don't do it for me. What do you know about the hardiness of these particular raibows?

Scary Hiccup! So come to find out my tank was off level! :blink: I quickly picked up some shims to handle the problem and noticed my stand was coming apart at the seams! Plus, the back panel that was load bearing was warped and bowing. Luckily I had drained the tank thinking I was going to be...

Good info, Thanks for the reply! I was unsure about corys and such because of how cichlids hang out at ground level. I didnt want to cause to much quarreling, am I being overly paranoid?

Hello Every one, I finally purchased my 65 gallon after convincing my Wife what a wonderful addition it would be to the living room! :rolleyes: Anyway I am going to post progress here. Tank specs - Marineland 48" x 13" x 24" - Aqueon Quietflow 55/75 (hob) - Aqueon Quietflow 30 (hob) -...

Thank for the reply ... This is exactly the type of info I am looking for. The ph of my local water runs about 7.4. I currently have 8 tetras, they all seem to be fine. Been taking care of then for a while and they mean alot to me. I did introduce them slowly as to help then adjust to the water...

No body, wants to help me out with my stocking? Any help would be great! I picked up a 60 gal and stand this weekend for a steal. Also, might anyone know a good online source for some realistic silk plants?

Hello Everyone, I am relatively new to keeping fish myself, but not to the hobby. My father kept fish most of my childhood, we loved it. My son expressed interest in a fish as a pet and I have become overwhelmed with how much I enjoy researching, caring for the tank and watching the little guys...
