Decided to do a tank of Pseudotropheus Saulosi, thanks again for the advice everyone!

Thanks for the help everyone! I've been doing a fair bit of research lately, browsing forums, reading articles etc,. Although I started looking at doing a Tanganyika tank, i've decided to do a Malawi tank instead. Leaning towards a stock of demasoni and yellow labs, a mix of 12 and 3 seems to be...

Hi everyone, I have a 46 gallon bowfront that i've had going for almost a year now, stocked with some tetra, cories and an angelfish, along with amazon sword. I enjoy the tank, but frequent trips to the LFS has got me thinking about converting it to a Lake Tanganyika tank. I think this type of...

Thanks! Anyone have any comments on the stock list?

That's the one i've had most people recommend, so i'll likely go with that one Thinking of stocking my tank with some Sterbai's Cory, Congo Tetras and Pengiun Tetras. By the sounds of it, they'll all go together nicely After the tetra grow a bit, i'll add an Angelfish as well

I've already tested my water, will do again before I have the tank

I figure more is better, so i'll at least go for the Aquaclear 70. I wouldn't be surprised if I walked out with the 110 though Does anyone else have any comments?

Yes, I do have a test kit. A Tetra tech Laborett. I plan to switch to the API kit once i've used up the current kit. Thanks for the thoughts on the thermometer, i'm leaning to the stick on mercury at the moment. I'm aware it's better to have more filtering that your tank "needs", i'm just not...

Hi everyone. I had purchased a "50 gallon" tank over Kijiji, which after a measurement yesterday, proved to be less than half that volume. Shame on me for not measuring it before I purchased it! Regardless, I plan to take advantage of a tent sale a LFS is having and have made up a rough draft...

I'm in Ottawa, and have visited each location I definitely recommend the Kanata location versus the Innes Road location. I'm just starting out, and plan to get my stuff from them

Thanks for the help fort! I'll call the test result a 3.0 and go from there

First time aquarium owner here, and I just finished testing my tap water after leaving it out in a glass for about a day. The test went smoothly, but I have a question about reading my water's hardness level So when I do the hardness test, i'm supposed to count the number of drops it takes to...

Hi everyone, first time fish owner here. Picked myself up a 50 gallon tank, and have been doing a fair bit of research, excited for what i'm getting myself into!

Hi everyone, First time aquarium owner here, excited to get started! Before I settle on what to put in it however, I have a question relating to my tap water's hardness. Should I test my tap water's hardness before I decide on fish, or is that something I can control during the cycle, and not...
