Haha. I realized I wanted one at 8PM last Saturday. If I would have left right at that moment I probably would have made it in time to get one. Oh well, now I have to wait.

Ok, that makes sense! I am waiting for the $1 gallon Petco sale to get one.

Can anybody explain to me why the 40 gallon breeder tanks are so popular? It seems like you hear about them over and over again for some reason? I have seen some really nice setups, but it just seems like they are the favorite choice.

Hey guys. I typically keep bait (common shiners) in my garage over the Winter months as bait for ice fishing. I don't have any problems other than it freezing during really cold days. The fish are fine, but it has broken a HOB filter by freezing solid and expanding. Also, I have an old unused...

I ended up removing this board that I have circled above and we had some supports set up to take the load while it was removed. They weren't even need, but the tank did sag a little bit when the board was out. I removed over 3/4 of the water. I replaced the board with some wood screws and...

Thanks so much for your vote of confidence and I will definitely keep you posted as you requested!

Ok, great. I am going to remove my fish temporarily and remove at least 75% of the water. Like you said, this will take it down to a few hundred pounds rather than thousand as it is now.

Let me try this again.

Here are some pictures of the board that I want to remove.

By the way. How did you make the one board removable for later use? I was thinking about doing that too, in case I needed to replace the sump ever again.

I think I am going to add 2 two by fours on either side of one of the middle braces further down on either side for some added temporary stability. I am going to drain all of the water out, but I think this thing weighed about 400 pounds empty and I have 200 pounds of sand in it. I will remove...

That is a great idea. I may screw another board further down while I remove the front board temporarily. I will post some pictures.

Marineland said they will replace the sump because I didn't think this was normal. The problem is now I have to get the sump out of my AGA stand that I had to pull a board out to get it in when I first set the tank up. Now I can't get it out of the stand without completely taking down my tank!

Has anybody ever modified an All Glass Aquarium (Aqueon) stand in pine to get a sump in and out. I had to rip out a lateral brace, put my sump in, and replace the brace to get the sump in. Now my tank is setup already (210 gallon) and I need to replace the sump. I want to avoid ripping this...

I have a Marineland Model 4 sump and I have been using it for about 5 months now. I have noticed recently that a crack developed in the middle right at where the side meets the bottom piece and it has spidered a bit. I noticed a couple other places had cracks as well. Obviously I don't want to...

Ok. I only dosed what was necessary. Jungle Labs told me that I shouldn't overdose as well. This is what they had to say. "This is a highly effective product and quite strong so only suggested for ponds the dosage is for larger water containers but your aquarium is very large. You will...

I plucked the adults from my smallmouth two weeks ago and went through three treatments of Parasite Clear. I thought everything was good. About a week later I started to see lots of small white worms attached to the fins of all my other fish! They are definitely anchor worms. One day I took all...

Wow, great information. Thanks so much!!! I will look into modifying a salinity meter I think, but your method sounds good too. Let me review that and I will let you know if I have any questions.

I read that you can use a Hydrometer or a Refractometer to test salinity levels. I have been treating my 210 freshwater tank with API Aquarium Salt as my smallmouth bass has a little fin rot. I have been doing the one tablespoon per 5 gallons and when I do water changes I figure on about how...

I have a Marineland Model 4 sump and those spinning Bio Wheels keep coming off the little hinge and floating, so I have to turn off my pumps, take out all the filter trays and put it back. Sometimes I will put it all back together and turn the pumps on and it will spin and then float again...
