Something like this? :lol: Canon EOS D300 Sigma 28-300 Lense Max Zoom ISO400, 1s, F22

I've averaged 25-30 days IME. Don't know what the official gestation period is.

The front pictures are all of the same fish...and he's actually the only Tang I have in there...so I can't really say for sure, but there haven't been any problems yet.

I have the Canon 18-55mm lense that came packaged with it...and I've ordered a sigma 28-300mm AF lense. I really wanted the sigma 50-500mm lense because I take a lot of sports shots, but I'm going to play a bit before I drop the $700.

We just bought the rebel and love it so far, well worth the money. I was using a Minolta Dimage 5 before and it simply doesn't compare in any way. You can see some sample shots on fully-auto in a separate post.

Well, we decided to buy ourselves a present and bought a new digicam (Canon EOS D300), and here's my first pictures from it. I used the fully automatic mode, so they're not the greatest, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far. 150G African Tank Nimbochromis Venustus Cyphtilapia...

The bands slide back over the flexible hoses where they're over the plastic connectors. They act as "hose clamps". I love my Magnum, I have it on my planted tank and it works great as a CO2 reactor as the impeller is on the bottom and doesn't risk airlocking.

Excellent job! Those are great.

Minolta Dimage 5 for most of them.

A table saw, drill and a screwdriver.

If it were my money, I'd get an AC300 AND the Eheim...then you get the best of both worlds and some redundancy in case one fails. Bio-wheel filters have a lot of nice features, but there were a couple of things I couldn't stand. 1) They make more water noise than other HOBs. 2) I always got...

Good point...although most people don't categorize them that way, bio-wheel filters are definitely wet-dry...

What malawis? I have frontosa in with my malawis, and haven't had a problem, but I would stay away from mbuna with a frontosa. Frontosa are pretty docile for a larger fish and will be bossed around by the more agressive mbuna. They're also very slow growers, so it will be a while before size...

A wet/dry filter is simply that...the water typically comes in over an overflow box in the tank passes through some mechanical filtration and then trickles over some sort of biomedia (like bio-balls, ceramic rings, etc.). This media is not submerged like it is in your typical canister or HOB...

I think it's pretty normal for agressive fish to establish a pecking order when they're first added. Keep the lights off and add some extra decorations if you have some. Sounds like you got some decent advice on sexing them...the female is likely to have a pink/orangish belly...males will also...

Definitely read up on the nitrogen cycle!! Do you have a test kit? Test for ammonia and change out 50% of your water before doing anything else (make sure you dechlorinate the fresh water before adding it). Most fish will take the opportunity to take a few chunks out of a disabled fish, so...

It's a common misconception that changing water slows the cycle. As long as there is detectable amounts of ammonia and nitrite, there is an EXCESS of it and the bacterial colony will continue to grow until it runs out of nutrients. Change as much water as needed to keep the levels of ammonia...

I've never had my otos do anything with it. Manual removal is the only thing I've ever gotten to work...those magnetic pads work pretty well for me. It comes off really well if you let it dry out for a few minutes (like during a water change) and then scrub it with a wet algae scrubber.

Were you adding ammonia to your tank? You said you were cycling, but didn't mention anything about ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings. http://www.skepticalaquarist.com/docs/plankton/blooms.shtml Check out that link about cloudy water in new tanks...it's a good read. I would avoid adding...

I like to take a clear water glass with a sample of the cloudy water and let it settle out. Believe it or not, sometimes this will simply help you determine the color of what's in your water...As an example, if you had a flourite substrate and didn't thorough rinse it, when the "cloud" settled...
