This is the second time it's happened, the first time to my 30" light and this time to my 48" light. They are both single-light fixtures, straight pin. The 48" has two CF bulbs in it. With the 30" I took it apart to see if I could find a loose connection, corrosion, anything that looked...

I've never had this problem on any other size tank, but the glass canopy on my 20 long (30") keeps cracking in the middle. I tried the "twin-tube" version, whose glass seems thicker and which I prefer (the back section of the glass is larger, so you can leave the light strip where it is when...

--pond snails or ramshorns. I'll be happy to pay you for 'em, and would like a million. Fewer is OK, too. :-D

Whatever they are, there's a lot of them! They are all festooned along the plant leaves....

I took this piece of wood out to get rid of some algae, and found this underneath: Off to see how these fish reproduce, since the only egglayers I've ever bred were by accident, and I never saw the eggs. I'll omit the livebearers and inverts, because I know they didn't do it. Plus, the...

Wheee! I just got these today and they are really cool. Fun to watch the food go right on into the gut. Plus, they have huge eyes on stalks, so I'm happy. And they are huge compared to the cherries and tigers I have (the big females are over 2" long).

I've had an XP3 for about a year and a half. First came the trapped air it would not let go of. Then came the periodic gigantic air suck. then came the small leaks from the canister when first set up after cleaning. Then came the deafening noise as it sucked ever-larger amounts of air. I...

"See? See how I clean the snail?" "Get OFF of my head!" [rolls weird red eyes]

For my hungry puffers and loaches. PM me if you have a herd! Thank you--

Has everyone seen this? 8O http://www.theiff.org/reef/index.html

Does anybody have a source for these, or use something else as a replacement? It seems like you could use a bit of felt or some such...?

I have developed a big crush on Apistogrammas, especially cacatuoides. I have a 75 gallon, planted community tank, with lotsa plecos, a few tetras (most have succumbed to a mysterious illness), and 6 small angels. I would like to add them to this tank, but I'm concerned about compatibility...

I would like to divide the top inch or so of my 75 gallon, to provide an area of still water for floating plants. I love watching them get hit by the outflow of the Aquaclear and go to the bottom of the tank and all, but they don't seem to like it. I'd also like to move my giant Ceratopteroides...

While we're on tubing diameter.... I need to get flexible clear tubing to fit this pump. ( http://tinyurl.com/2t9yw3 ) 1/2" ID tubing fits inside the the outflow tube, but one really wants it on the outside, doesn't one? I emailed the company, but no reply. I can't find a LFS that has both the...

Awright-I got two of these 2/24/07, about 3" across each. They looked like goners until about 2 weeks ago, and now: Then I noticed some baby dealies on the edge of a leaf: And you can see the center bit, where it all begins: The smaller one looks like it's going to make a big break...

That really foxy one with no C02 or ferts? Full of shrimp and pond snails? I can't find it! :roll:

So, I think this is right. You put the tubing from the filter on the end of the heater, then turn the collar dealie counterclockwise (so it is moving away from the heater) to tighten? Husband and I tested it this way with all our might and it did not come apart, but it seems, intuitively, like...

Bit of an overpopulation here....PM if interested! I have: Heterandria formosa (aka "least killifish"): A very tiny native livebearing fish, good for a nano tank. Mixed sex and sizes. $1 each or 12 for $10, plus shipping. Malaysian trumpet snails: I have tons. No charge for the snails, just...

I just received three of these guys, from a great seller: http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwinverts&1171327092 They are ugh-dorable and only get about an inch long. They took 3 days to get here (not the seller's fault, but mine and USPS), and I was stunned to see them happy...

I've loved these for about 20 years, so maybe time to plan for some. I've Googled my head off and I'm not finding too much basic information, especially from people who have actually kept them. What size group in what size tank would be appropriate for these fish? The recommendations I've seen...

I'm getting a 75 gallon this weekend. What do you all think of this light? My current 55 gallon just has the stock lighting on it....I think the wattage here is what I want plantswise, just wonder if the $$ seems OK or if I should keep looking....I like the 3 separate cords and I don't mind a...

It's a little difficult to see links as they are now-would it be possible to have them show as bold or a brighter color? I know one of the members likes to bold links already! :)

Looking for some of them snails everyone wants to get rid of. The football-shaped, small, spotted "pond snails"/physa snails that often come on plants. Anybody tearing their hair out over them and picking them out of your tanks, put 'em in a bag and save them for me! Happy to pay for 'em (and...

I have a 55 community tank. I'll be getting a 75 gallon in a few days so the giant pleco has room to make a swimming turn. I have an XP3 and a Penguin 330 on the tank now. I hate the Penguin and want to replace it. I currently have floss/pads and bioballs in the Penguin, and ceramic tubes and...

Now, I'm not much of a drinker. On holidays I'll have a glass of champagne. I just poured myself a strong one, after spending an hour trying to properly plant some corkscrew val, pygmy chain sword, and crypts. I have a good 2-3" of EcoComplete as a substrate. Used fingers-"too big", I thought...
