Hey guys, thinking about making a few mods to my Eclipse 3 System hood on my 29 gallon aquarium. They'd be some fairly small mods, and would barely cost anything at all, but could give me a little extra kick in my aquarium. First of all, right now I have gravel in there, and I think I'm going...

Here's my 29 gallon, this will pretty much be a grow out tank but I'll always keep a few little cichlids in here as placeholders for some nice viewing in the bedroom. :) The first picture is from today when I added a bunch of rock and then second is to show you one of the more complex spots...

I'm looking to start breeding cichlids and I want a store that will either be able to sell me a pair or in the very least know the difference between males and females so I can walk out of the store with 1 male and 2 or 3 females of the same type. Or am I going to have to order from online...

How long would it be from one set of fry to the next for a typical cichlid? If they very a lot does anyone have a range they could give me or maybe a couple examples? Thanks!

What do supplies typically run you guys who make stands and canopies? We're talking budget here. My friend and I are trying to figure out every cost for setting up our 55 gallon this summer and I want to know how much money we can shave anywhere. Also, if you make your own canopy what's the...

So I lost all of my fish in my 29gal and have now resolved that problem. Everything was fine except the temp. It got up over 100*. So after I get a new heater in there what are my options? It's freshwater and the plants are still ok so I'd like t keep it that way. I may consider cichlids...

I'm at college but my dad has been taking care of my fish while I'm here. Anyway, he went out of town for a couple days on business and came home to find all my fish had died. :( I was home maybe 4 days earlier and did a partial water change. I had water sitting out when I left for him to...

My friend and I were almost set on a 55 gallon but we're not sure if that is too big or too small. What would you guys say is the ideal size and what size have you been successful in for breeding?

What would you guys recommend for a 55 gallon tank setup for cichlid breeding? What filters, lights, heaters, etc. Right now we're thinking a sand bottom tank with a bunch of rocks stacked with plenty of caves made out. Then a few live plants to go with that, but things that are pretty hearty...

Anyone know of a fish store in Minnesota that buys fish that we may have in our tanks? Let's say I have some guppies and they breed and they overload my tank. Can I sell them to any fish stores that you guys know of? It'd be nice to not have to totally rely on ebay. ;) Thanks!!:D

My friend and I are looking to start a cichlid 55 gallon over the summer that would be mostly for breeding, but we of course want it to look nice. I am leaning towards a sand bottom but I would think that would be more expensive. What do you guys think? What's more economical and what's...

I have hard water stains on the back of my aquarium and I seem to have tried all the tricks and can't get it to come off. I've tried vinegar, I've tried a razor, and now tonight we tried HCl, even. Each has done a little bit of the work yet none of them do enough to leave me happy with the...

So, I have a 29 gallon Eclipse tank and I love it. So I just added a whole bunch of rock to it and now I want to get a bunch of live plants back behind those. However, reading up I'm seeing that it could be better for planted tanks. So I'm wondering what I could do. According to this...

So, it has been quite a while since I've posted here! Hopefully I'll be around more this time. :) The last time I was around here I had a 29 gallon tank all setup and I even remember that my first fish were penguin tetras. :lol: I also had SAEs, gouramis, and a few other kinds of tetras...

I have a 29 gallon tank with 5 penguin tetras in it. I also have a 2 gallon bowl with a male betta in it. I want the betta in my 29 gallon tank but I was wondering if it would kill the penguin tetras or pick on them. Will these two get along? Also, what else could I put in with these...

Where did the profile go?

First of all, I'm sorry I haven't been around much, but I've been really busy working on my sites and trying to get some more off the ground, so I've been busy... Today, I got two gold chinese algae eaters. They seem to be doing a good job keeping my tank clean. I'm real glad I got them, wont...

We are either going later today or tommorow to get the next round of fish. Any suggestions? Right now, there is 5 penguin tetras in there.

There is a bunch if bubbles in the bowl...

Okay, here is how my setup in my 29 gallon is: filter on the far left (back of the tank) reaches to the gravel, thermometer on the other side of that (front of the tank) and then heater in the middle vertically, and pretty far on the right side, on the back of the tank. Anything I should move...

What kind of lighting does a male betta need? What can I put in a 2 gallon bowl with a male betta? Am I asking to many questions about my male betta?

:D I'm not quite sure yet though... now I have the tank that has been sitting for a couple days and the bowl that has been sitting for a couple also... I think I'm going to put a male and female beta in the bowl, though if I do get something for the bowl, I'll probably just buy one tonight so...

I, of course, dont want to spend much if they have the possibility of death... But I want them to be hearty fish, so they will help balance the nitrates and everything of my tank. Just so you know it is a 29 gallon tank, and a 2 gallon bowl.
