I have a Tetra Whisper PF 30 and PF 40. They use the same size impeller. I am trying to source some cheap replacement impellers as they get noisy over time. The problem is, online, they are labeled in anything but comprehensive ways and can't tell which fits what. I've noticed they are color...

All plants are gone. Thanks everyone!

I still have a few left if any of you want these. I have two very large plants left, about 16 inches tall and a handful of smaller ones. The smaller ones are $10 shipped but for the larger ones I'll have to use the $10 flat rate box so $15 shipped.

I have a standard 20 gallon tank with low light plants, just some crypts. I'd like to give them a boost in growth so naturally that means better lighting. I am currently using an Aqueon light fixture with a generic T8 full spectrum light bulb, 15w. There aren't any larger light bulbs. What...

I'm willing to ship, using those $5 USPS flat rate boxes PM me your info.

Pruned my tank on a whim today, AGAIN, and now I have a bunch of crypts I need to get rid of. Since the plants are free floating I need to give these away asap. If you're in Lincoln NE and would like some crypts, let me know. These are the wendtii variety, both green and bronze.

gzeiger, thanks for the input. Hermits do burrow, completely, when they moult. Other than that, you are right, they are climbers, so I will provide them the means to do so. My plan is that once the fiddlers die off, I will completely eliminate the brackish part. But what I want to find out if I...

I hope so, don't wanna do anything stupid :D

No input? Anyone? Pretty please? It wasn't something I said, was it? :)

I realize I'm pushing it off-topic here :) I'll try to keep this short and sweet because I have a tendency to write on and on and on. I kinda want to try something new and expand my experience and knowledge. I love fiddler and red claw crabs so naturally hermits would be the next best thing :) I...

My little crabitat's life may have come to an end. My wife and I moved into our new home and I am wondering if I can tear down the crabitat. For you crab experts/keepers out there, do you think 5 fiddlers [2 males, 3 females] would do OK in a 20 gallon tank? The footprint is a typical 24x12...

Well, nice to meet ya man, keep in touch, who knows we might run into each other at the like ... 2 good LFS here in Lincoln, haha

Paul, I also live in Lincoln. You can see my freshwater tank pics here Picasa Web Albums - fishbone - 10 Gallon Fre... and my brackish palludarium here Picasa Web Albums - fishbone - Crabitat

I admit I've been light on potassium dosing, I haven't been following directions which say 2-3 times per week. I will dose 3 times then instead of 2. The black algae stuff is ... interesting. I've read it can be due to low nitrates and possibly low oxygen. The only thing I can tell you is that...

Here are some details: Tank - 10 gallons Substrate - Eco complete Lighting: 10w, 8 hours a day from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The tank is next to a window [not in front] and there is a curtain in between so direct light is at a minimum, if any Plants - java fern, java moss and a bunch of crypts, some...
