I am looking for breeders for celestial pearl danios and otocinclus catfish. I know when I was deployed last time there was a breeder for the CPDs but I can't seem to find him on here anymore. They would make an AWESOME addition to my 150! Also my friend is looking to add some slightly different...

Thank you for the compliments! I love this tank so much. Every time someone comes over they have to stare at the tank for at least 10 minutes (usually longer lol), even if they have been to my house before. I used fluorescent light covers for the filter "cartridges" and they are working out...

Hello all, I haven't been on AA (heheheh) for quite a long time but I have been far from idle. I currently have a 150 gallon planted discus tank with 16 discus, 10 German blue rams, 30 cardinal tetras, 6-8 cory cats and three assorted plecos that I can never remember what they are. I'm currently...

Nice purchase on the Aqua Clear, I have had nothing but oustanding performance from mine. I also agree with the bigger tank and glad you went with it. AS stated above you will be thinking that tank is small very soon. I have a 75g and I yearn for a bigger tank as soon as I can feasibly do it...

Ok, so a list of what I used: 2 - 20G standard fish tanks 2 - 18"x24" pieces of plexi-glass 2 - brass swamp cooler drain fittings 1 - 10' section of 1/2" PVC pipe 1 - PVC slip T fitting 1 - 1/2" threaded - 5/8" barbed 90deg fitting (white) 1 - T fitting with combination 5/8" barb and 1/2"...

Ok, so after long ado here are some more pics. I got it up and running with no fish and I will share the details in my next post. For now I am short on time :( This is the brass bulkheads in the display tank. Not the best idea honestly but it is what they had at the Home Depot near me. These...

Recently I bought two 20g tanks for $75. One has the filter, light, heater, gravel and a few decorations. The other is missing the filter but has everything else. I just bought two hoods with T5 HO for them, 2x6500k and 2 pink bulbs with moonlights for the display tank and 2x6500k bulbs for the...

I think if anything ever happens to this tank your wife is going to beg you to buy a motorcycle hahahah. I can definitely say that motorcycles are addicting, as are fish tanks. I really hope I can manage to get something bigger than my 75g when I get back from this deployment. I will be headed...

That is definitely a very good looking tank!

I really like your tank! Can't wait to see some more plants in there. I'm thinking I will get some shale (that is what it is right?) because that looks super clean!

The Sponge Bob home would be hilarious, but I think that would belong in a theme tank lol. I say +1 for the bubbling treasure chest, it is absolutely necessary! At the very least you need some sort of bubbling ornament.

I'm pretty sure that if the predator can fit inside the hole the prey will realize that. And I don't think the predator will stalk that one fish that long unless it is really hungry.

I'm pretty sure that is basically the same thing. I figured since I'm a cheap skate and I can usually make things work pretty well I would get those for my 75g. I can't see the sense in paying twice as much for a light when that one will do everything I want. I'm not trying to get my aquarium in...

So you bought the eBay light? Does it work ok and have decent reflectors? I have asked about that light a lot but no one has bought one...

I vote for option number two! I really like the tacky tank, which is definitely not something I would have ever thought I would. Awesome job. Some Neon tetras would certainly not be drowned out by the colors. Can't wait to see pics!

I realize that this is over twice what you said you are willing to pay but it would allow you to have all the light you wanted. Even if you decided to go with high light. Plus the moon lights look like they would be awesome!

I really like the celestial pearl danios and I think they would be great with the gouramis. But they look more like fish that I would fin in a lake in Arizona is why I think I like the so much.

It really is looking great Mommytron! I love the pictures, it makes me so anxious to get home and start my new tank build!!

So for my homemade "live" rock mixture would it be something like: 3 parts aquarium gravel, 2 parts PFS, 1 part cement?

I was thinking of doing a 5.5'x2'x2.5' tank. I realize that I may not save any money but it sounds like a fun project. If I can do it for the same price as what I could buy one for I think I would rather build it, but maybe that is just me.

I will make sure that I check it really well before I stick any in my tank. I had read that before and completely forgot about it. Thank you thincat!

I made a thread for FW "live rock" and greenmaster threw in his $0.02. I think it would be awesome to have my own custom rocks in mine. I will definitely be watching these videos when I get closer to returning to the States where I can start on my tank!

Is it possible to do a wooden frame?

I would use 1/2" if it meant that I could make the tank myself. I also read a thing saying that you don't support the bottom glass...is it really just held on by the silicone? I would think it would need more support than that!

How big can you go with a non-tempered tank? Do you need thicker glass? I want to do a homebuilt 100-150 but I want to drill the bottom for overflows.
