Ok so after some health issues and a lot of moving around I'm starting to rebuild fish wise.. First tank getting setup is a basic 10 gallon with a dirt/sand base and lots of live plants, but the idea of going with "basic" fish doesn't have much appeal to me atm...are there any south american...

yeah should get some good stuff, I didn't have a chance to go look at it, but every other tree out there is pretty twisted. Looking forward to it getting dropped

was thinking $5 for smaller stuff (think 10 gal tank) and $15 for larger..anything really big $20 plus shipping.. shipping would probably be usps as I like the "if it fit boxes" date of tree coming down is based on weather and lazy ground crew :rofl: but once I have an idea of how many I need...

Found out tonight at work that we will be cutting down a dead Madrone tree, these are high on the list for fish tanks due to low tannin's and very hard wood (oh and little to no bark outside of the smallest twigs) .. any interested in buying let me know and I'll get some before it ends up as...

So due to medical issues we moved back closer to my home town/family and the place we are trying to get has a huge basement. Of course i called dibs on it for fish tanks, now the question..being in the middle of nowhere with the nearest fish store being several hundred miles off building a tank...

this should be a fast and easy thread to open and close. but, just to make sure. snagged a tank and filter setup for 20 bucks and a tooth that was used for salt water, now outside of a good wash/vinegar soak is there anything I should be looking at doing? bio-wheels from the canister are...

:D so I had a tooth pulled yesterday and was cracking jokes before hand about how getting old (i'm 46) makes the return from the tooth fairy disappear.. My "take" yesterday after all was said and done was 1 tooth and $20 bucks for a rena XP3 filter, 45 gallon fish tank, bag of odds and ends...

hope this gets resized..anyway this is them, I thought they looked like young jags but the guy I got them from says their not, but can't remember the name

I will once they get to me, I ran a simple google for yellow eyed south american cichlids and was surprised how many showed up.

So got to work last night and the one person I don't much care for started asking me about fish keeping, then dropped a bomb in my lap by saying he has 2 rare/new south american cichlids he had to get rid of and wanted to know if I wanted them...just so happens almost all my fish a this point...

Wakin filter - TaDeGe Pond And Water Garden I saved that link for ideas, it should work the same going smaller or bigger

I should point out I capped mine with a sand/gravel mix, if done slowly pulling plants doesn't stir much up, even this last time it was cleared up within a day and it looked like a bomb went off in the tank (removed a LOT of crypts and a 24 inch amazon sword), planting should do even less if its...

got a 10gal tank laying around? I have been toying with this idea for awhile now as testing "used fish water" on my house plants and stalks from work show plants grow like wildfire (did you know you can re-grow lettuce, green onions and others from the cut end that's normally tossed out?) I was...

If I understand what you are wanting I would think a shower drain would work well, simply drill a hole if theres not one already and bingo.. Sioux Chief 2 in. PVC Shower Drain with Strainer-821-2PPK - The Home Depot

ah I know that color well, its just tannin (sp?) from the wood in the so called dirt..I have tried 3 brands now and looked at many more and all have a high percentage of wood in them, saddly shifting only gets the large bits out. That said the more plants you have the faster its removed without...
