I had to replace an outlet behind the tank, plugs would fall right out of it. Then with the help of a good friend (who happens to also be my boss ... ) I moved the tank in and added the sand yesterday. The dust has settled and the fish are starting to calm down. Of course, they didnt remember to...

Great advice! I feel much more confident about moving forward with this now. Step 1 will be moving the tank from my old place to my new one and adding sand to the bottom. Then I'll be shopping for plants and pots. I'll take pics and update this thread as it progresses. I think I'll be able to...

I currently have a barebottom 55 gallon tank with bad lighting and java fern. I plan to move it next to a big window (whole wall is glass) and put a couple pots in it with plants growing out water-garden style. I'll remove the hood completely and let the plants grow out into the air. I've got...

My fish are having trouble with their tankmates in their 10 gallon hospital... Theres 4 chromis, a six-lined wrasse, and a blue-spotted watchman goby in there. The goby gets grumpy and bites at the others when they get too close. it seems to be more defensive than offensive, ie hes not trying to...

finally got them! used a soda bottle with the top cut off and put back in upside down, and small holes cut in the bottom to let water through. put some food in and the fish went in to get in and couldnt get out. I have 3 rocks about 30 lbs each and it would have been hell to get them out, not to...
