I just setup my first tank w/ a Sump & Overflow last month or so.. Last week, I noticed a strange, grayish matter in my sump box. I've taken a few photos, none of which are really any good, but I hope you can help me identify what in the world this could be.. My fish seem to be healthy, altho...

Today, one of my parrots has wounds on her sides.. I treated her directly, and the tank with melafix. I'm wondering if this looks like it could've been my pleco attaching himself to her side?? There isnt really anything in the tank that could hurt her afaik.. And due to its location it dosent...

I want to build a rock wall with lots of hiding places for my cichlids in my new tank and have seen several that I like that I think are built out of slate. My question is, where in the world do people find the rocks to do this ? I've tried going to a couple construction type stores with no...

This is a pic of one of my bloody red parrot cichlids in my 46 gallon bowfront. It was taken with my EOS 40D w/a f/1.8 50mm prime wide open (hence the blur on the back of the fish -- I wish I could get a decent shot like this again around f/3) Feel free to leave comments on it, I love...

Ok, I've never used sand in an aquarium before. I just setup my new 125 corner tank, w/drilled overflow and sump etc.. In my previous 50 gallon, I used crushed coral for the substrate. This time, I decided to use special grade reef sand. I rinsed each back for about 30 - 45 minutes and filled...

I have a Pro Clear Premier Series 175 Wet Dry Sump that came with the 125 gallon tank I just purchased. After doing a bit of reading, I built my own durso stand standpipe out of 1.25" pvc, which drains through the 1" bulkhead. This attaches to 1" Flex PVC, into the side of a T, and then the...

I've been looking for a new tank for my Cichlids, went as far as to drive 200+ miles to look at a tank on craigslist. The tank/stand/canopy were listed as like new condition, and the seller reassured me of such on the phone. Of course the pictures made it look like new as well. When I got...
