Ehiem Jager heaters I have 2 150watt heaters in my tank they have great reviews.
I've been really busy still need to update my tank thread hopefully I can find some time this week.
I was told the exact opposite from what was mentioned above fish like most animals do have some variety in their diet how would you like to eat the same thing everyday for years on end? although I wouldn't feed it to them everyday it does make for a nice treat once or twice a week.
I feed my...
Personally I'd just go ahead and build a new stand to suit the are you want to put it in. I'm sure the old stand is solid but adding on to it just doesn't seem like it would work very well and would be difficult to match new with the existing. By building a new stand you can make sure to leave...
Since the last update I've added a few more fish to the tank, had to trim some plants back to keep everything looking a bit more even. Also added some duckweed and frogbit to help absorb some of the excess nutrients in the water colum, going to have to keep an eye on them so they don't block all...
I got a package deal from another forum from someone selling their trimmings got about 75% of my plants from them the other 25% from various local shops. that plant was in with the trimmings.
Thanks I can't wait for the plants to fill in a lot more so I can trim and make some spots a little denser.
Spent 2 hours watching the fish already today and it looks like my bosemani might spawn at some point in the future lots of posturing going on in there, need to get more so the lone female...
ahh ok guess I misinterpreted your excitement.
as long as the old filter is in there running in the new 50 you should be good to go since there is enough BB to handle their bio load, still leave both filters running for at least 2 weeks to make sure the new filter gets time to develop some BB...
you could add the fish as soon as the 20g filter is up and running in the 50.
I'd give the 50 a good week or two to cycle with both filters running then you can put the 20g filter back on the 20g tank.
Any reason why you looking to rush the process? I getting the feeling that your trying to...

OK if I'm reading what you posted above correctly your moving the fish from the 20g into the 50g so that would mean that the 20g will be empty. With that in mind you can transfer the fish from the 20g directly into the 50g AND place the filter that was on the 20g on the 50g this will cause the...
I'd add all the tiger barbs you want first wait a few days to a week the bio load on them isn't too large so you BB should catch up fairly quickly, then add in the cories at least 5 since they enjoy the company, again give the BB at least 4 - 7 days to catch up with the bio load then you can add...
Well I'll join in the fun currently have 3 Bosemani rainbows in a 55 2 male and a female just waiting for the LFS to get more in stock so I can get more of them in the tank goal now is to get 6 bosemani and 3 - 6 iranian reds,
