What kind of wood did you use for the sides of the stand? I am currently in the process of building a stand for my 120 gallon tank.

I'm no electrician but I was pretty sure there wasnt a ballast for the leds. What I dont know is where to find a replacement power supply for them. I've only been able to find replacement leds. I've never had a light like this before so I am new to the power compact lights.

Recently I bought a used coralife lunar aqualight and the guy I bought it from told me that the ballast for the leds needed to be replaced and that coralife has a lifetime guarantee and they were sending him a new one. I beginning to think this guy is fos. Does anybody have any ideas on how to...

You can also buy a glass lid for your tank. It keeps a better seal and has that piece of plastic that you are talking about. I find that the water evaporates much slower with a glass hood than with the black plastic ones. The one I bought for my 55 gallon was around $25 for both pieces and I...

cool thanks! my daughter has been asking for a tank in her room and I have a 10 gallon that I keep just in case but I wouldn't put anything fancy in there for her.

Take as much water with you as you can. How far will you be moving? 29 gallons is not that big of a tank, I've moved a 55 gallon from ohio to indiana and only took enough water to transport the fish and I didn't have any problems. Now I have only dealt with african cichlids so if you have other...

How often do they molt?

How long have you had the electric blue crayfish in with your cichlids? I love those but I was told you couldn't keep them with african cichlids. i'm pretty sure the ratio is 1in of fish per gallon so you could have 39 inches of fish but just keep in mind of how big the fish get fully grown. My...
