I actually love the idea of having a small colorful school of fish in the tank. Plus, I would still be staying on the Freshwater sides of thing, so it wouldn't be that much of a change. I like: Cardinals Danios Corys Boesmani Praecox Furcatas Now I just got to check if they are all compatible...

110 Gallons

I ended up donating the Koi to the local high school, after thinking of plan to build my own pond. Now I have an empty tank. I want to put fish back into it. But I don't know which type (freshwater or saltwater fishes) to get since I only had experience with the regular fancy goldfish and koi.

what type of filter media do you use in your XP4?

We also have a slight algae problem.

I currently have 110 Gallon FW tank with 2 koi's in the tank. We are planning to move, so we dont have the time to currently build a pond at out home. However, we do plan to get a new filter for our tank. We currently have a Rena Filstar XP3 canister filter on it. But as you know, koi aren't...

ahh man, did you have to bring chores into the picture. :P i just planned to make a mini business plan, and like ask for $300 dollars (not very likely) but im good at begging :) I think we may be in the same picture as you, we've done, well i;ve done FW for about 8 years(off an on) I'll...

Did a 50% change, after the Blackout. There is some difference but there still is a lil bit of a green tinge to it, when i take out some water, and look at it in a white cup :P So I would say that the blackout was somewhat effective.

I didn't use copper in my FW tank. And meds, nothing out of the usual just some water conditioner and bio-support. I went to liveaquaria.com and i did find some fish that "tickled my fancy" which are: Clownfish Tang Cardinal Butterfly, Basselets and Damsel I;m thinking maybe one of each :S...

Maybe, fish only with some aquatic plants

ummm, I'm moving in the next few months, and i want to start all over again. Currently i have a 110 FW tank with 4 koi's in it. I plan to donate the Koi's to the local High School in my neighborhood they have a wonderful courtyard with a pond ! :D I'm planning on starting a SW tank, in my new...

Hi, i'm moving in a few months, and i wonder what I should do with my Freshwater Tank and the Koi's that are in there. I plan to donate the 4 koi which all range from the sizes to 3 to 12 inches, to my local high-school. They have a fabulous pond with a courtyard, and I think that they may like...

Well, I'm taking off the covers tomorrow and doing a water change too. So I'm not sure as yet if the blackout worked yet. :S I had the green water for about 3 weeks or so.

Ok. Guess I have to add an extra day to my blackout then :P

Just making sure, I should not feed my fish during the blackout?
