I LOVE my Python watet change system for getting rid of the multiple bucket trips on water change day with 400+ gallons of tanks to do I HATE that because most the tanks are on the same level as the sink they drain into so it takes SO long to do if I don't keep the tap running to pull the it...

Looking for first hand experiences with these two species. Grandaughter/daughter have set up a vivarium for her crested gecko that contains them and I'm curious about them.

So I bought some black foam core sheets to make backing for my tanks(I really do hate seeing cords and the HOB cases at the back of the tank) but I've run into a *small* issue. Sheets are 20x30, tanks are all at least 36 long. I am *pretty sure* I shouldn't put the seam in the middle but NOT...

I would be the first to admit I am an A1 procrastinator esp when I know its a big job that has multiple things that can go wrong but ....... Got the Ameca moved from the 40g to the 55g today, hopefully the male BN was inside one of the larger decor pieces since I saw him out eating the other...

I am moving my shrimp from a 30g to a 40g, keeping all the plants, cholla & *trees* but changing the substrate from large pebbles which are a PITA to clean as they collect crap between them WAY to easy, even with food dishes. I am wondering if the packets of Bio Magnetic Clarifier liquid that...

DISCLAIMER - I had plants in my tanks when I started 40+ years ago, when you bought fish, bought plants, maybe some kind of liquid ferts, put them all in the tank and *bing bang boom* you had an aquarium. The plants did ok but were never great, if a plant died you replaced it, at $3-$5 a plant...

I'm using a 20 long as a grow out tank right now(mainly Endlers, 6 or so BNs & a couple of Swords) but I'm in the process of rearranging tanks and was wondering if using reg 22g with a smaller footprint would impact growth in any way. It would certainly make the rearranging easier. I *can* leave...

It seems AqAdvisor is giving me issues again. Does anyone have another similar site I can use? Thinking of starting a nano fish tank and other than the old 1" rule not sure how many I can put in a tank

I'm looking for a.good reasonable priced pellet for Rasboras, Red Pencils and Hatchets. They love their Bug Bites but would like to have a *basic* pellet as well.

I'm thinking of getting back into cichlids after15 years out of it and I found an ad for these juveniles on Kijiji and thought they looked rather cool. The seller says they're rarely found in retail stores and that these are his F1s from stock he imported from Germany. He's asking $40 per pair...

I know tou can use gel superglue for moss but can I also use it for things like Anubis & Java Fern?

I *inherited* a bucket of lava rock peices that would be awesome as bio matter in my filters or as a base for moss creations UNFORTUNATELY the previous *owner* got it with a bunch of tanks he bought so isnt sure qhether it came from a fresh or salt water setup. How do I *clean* these to make...

Picked up a grab bag at a club auction, label read **POTLUCK misc filter boxes, parts, several power motors & parts** Turned out be all the pieces for an AC 30, AC10, Mini as well as the boxes, tubes and lids but no motors for 2 more 30s and 2 minis. The bag of **motors** also included these...

I picked up some **purple rasboras** at one of the local club auctions and man are they TINY. I'm puttng them in my fry grow out tank for now just to prevent them being snacked on, but is anyone able to give me an idea of how quickly they will grow? I've never had tasboras this small before

Have had a 55g & 2x90g stored outside in **weatherproof** tarp style shed for a year. Winter temps were -21C/-4F on a regular basis. How worried do I have to be about seal damage from temperature changes? Since our weather here is now staying around 10C/40-50F filling outside to check the seals...

Received some mid range priced silk plants with a used aquarium I recently purchased and it looks like they may have been left sitting in the undrained aquarium for awhile as they have a definite green tinge to them. Usually I would just rinse and reuse but I am wondering if I need to do...

I only have *used* tanks which ofcourse means *used* lights, some T8s, a couple of T5s. I will be replacing them as I can afford to but for now I have to make do with what I have. My question is how do I tell by *reading* the bulb if it will grow even low light plants? I also have some newer...

I've always kept a few Amano in my community tank, but due to a rather lg algae out break and a irresistible *special* price 3/$4.99, I now have ~25. Since they are now a herd(?) I was thinking I would give them their own 20g tank but am unsure of decor(it would be cool to see them more often...

Any tips for moving the Neocardinia from my 30g to a 55g. New substrate, a new Spiderwood tree and a few new peices of cholla and then the 2 Spiderwood trees from the old tank, 1/2 dz pieces of cholla and lots of moss balls and Subwassertang. I have a clear 40L bin to use as a temporary holding...

So my No Planaria finally arrived and I have a couple of questions Since the dosinge is for 50L and my tank is 114 how exact do I have to be, is it better to be under or over? Will this ABSOLUTELY kill all my snails, so a day or two of manually removing as many as I can is in order before I...

The hose on my gravel cleaner bends just above where it joins onto the solid plastic tube. Is there any way to prevent this? I had thought perhaps putting a peice of larger hose over top but think perhaps this would just *relocate* the problem

Ok I need your best efficient killer for these little []s[emoji37] I am moving my shrimp from their current 30g to a 55g qith new substrate so that I hope will help. I will treat tje new tank, all moss, cholla in a Rubbermaid bin before putting it in the new tank and also the old tank since I...

So I've had a couple of tanks develop slow leaks at side and bottom seams. This has necessitated aquiring some cheap tanks for temporary housing while getting the original tanks resealed. I'm reasonably sure none of the **new** tanks and filters etc would have contained sick fish etc before...

So my AA was just updated on my phone and it no longer automatically shows which of my subscribed forums have new posts, I am having to open each one to see if it has new messages. Can I change this somehow or am I stuck now opening each one everytime I log in
