So I found a good deal on a #20 co2 tank, and it even has the regulator thingy with it. Here it comes....I'm going to sound like an idiot, I'm sure. :rolleyes: The tank was used for a soda machine, I think so will the regulator still work for my purposes? Or do I need a special one? We...

Corydoras habrosus!! So my original 2 have a lot of cute little playmates now. :D (Sorry for the horrible pic quality....had to use my cell)

AquaBid.com - Item # fwapisto1333164163 - Metallic Powder Blue Ram PAIR - Ends: Fri Mar 30 2012 - 10:22:43 PM CDT I'm thinking of bidding because I think they're gorgeous. However, there is very little info online about this particular ram. Anyone have insight/experience? :thanks:

Got the NASTY tank and stand from craigslist for $25. Phase 1.....shop towels soaked in vinegar coating glass. Pray for me....it's bad. :rolleyes:

Found one for a good deal NEW on craigslist. Anyone have experience with it? Pros? Cons? This would be my first attempt at CO2. Amazon.com: AQUATEK CO2 Regulator with COOL TOUCH SOLENOID: Pet Supplies Thanks. :)

I found a 50 gallon tank with wooden stand for $25.....chatted with the lady about the specs for a bit, and the second I said, I want it and when is good for us to come and get it....she stopped emailing me. :bawl: My hopes are still high that she'll get back in touch, but man am I bummed. :nono:

I wanted to get pics of the babies, but it was hard enough to photograph the adults! I love them. :smitten:

I never post pics of my tanks because you guys have rocking tanks for sure...it's intimidating....lol. This is my female guppy tank with one studly and VERY happy male endler. :cool: And boy does the glass look yucky at the top. :rolleyes:

I managed to get some decent rocks from the Little Harpeth River yesterday. My plan is to soak them in hot water with a little bleach and then run them through the dishwasher. Will this sufficiently get any critters/pollutants off of them or is there a better way? :thanks:

Oh, let's see....where to begin. I have been fishless cycling a 6 gallon tank for a little more than a week now. The tank will house RCS, and the RCS will be here on Wednesday. The tank has filter media from an established tank, and I've been dosing it up to 3-4 ppm ammonia every day. As of...

Can't wait until my plants arrive this week so I can finally get this tank in order. The driftwood looks awesome. Thank you so much, Justin!! :dance:

I was shocked to read somewhere that crypts are dangerous to shrimp....something about trimming them releasing toxic stuff??? :huh: Is this true and are there other plants I shouldn't put into a shrimp tank? I have fire red rcs on their way to me, and I'm setting up another tank for OEBTs...

I bought this: I meant to buy this: Will what I bought work for bio media? What the heck is it if it's not ceramic? :huh:

Looking for orange eye blue tiger shrimp, dwarf orange crayfish, and chili endlers. I have been watching auctions for these on aquabid, but if I can order from someone here instead, that would be awesome. I'm also always on the lookout for easy to grow, low light plants so if you sell those...

Thinking of buying them to breed in a tank with scarlet endlers. Anyone have experience with them? :thanks:

I'm longing for some blue tiger shrimp, but with such a HUGE investment, I need to know I can make a home for the little guys. (And it sure wouldn't hurt if they had lots of beautiful blue babies to help me get back my investment). :cool: Are they hard to keep? I plan to house them in a 5 or...

So I THOUGHT I would let nature takes its course when the guppy babies came. :rolleyes: I didn't anticipate seeing the helpless little things swimming for their lives around my aquarium. :nono: Picking up yet another craigslist special tank for them this weekend, but until then, here's where...

Wow!! What a day for my fish! :ermm: Got a new full grown peppered cory in my tank. So this morning, she was missing. I figured she was just doing a really good job of hiding. This afternoon, I started to get concerned and decided to look for her. My diy canister intake is on the bottom...

A little background.... Picked up a free 10g tank yesterday. Inhabitants were a CAE (about 4-5 inches long), a betta, 2 glow light tetras (I think...they school with the neons), 3 neon tetras, and 2 peppered corycats. Couldn't really see the fish when I picked it up...they were all hiding. I...

Are they good for growing plants? Seems like quite a lot of light for a 10g. :ermm:

Apparently my SAE is a Flying Fox. He has turned into a monster these last couple of days....chasing everything that has the nerve to move in his vicinity. He has always been my favorite fish....I'm bummed. :ermm:

Going to the creek this afternoon to look for driftwood and rocks. Any pointers before I head out?? :fish2:

I'm currently in the process of cycling a 29 gallon (30x12x18) aquarium. The most important inhabitants of this tank will be a pair of German Blue Rams...the rest of the tank will be planned around them. The tank currently has a Penguin 150 and an Aqua-tech 40-60 for filtration and black...

TOO MUCH INFORMATION....lol....:facepalm:. I just read a whole thread on another site with many people saying that the info that black diamond blasting sand will wear down barbels on corydoras is just a myth. People say they've used it for years with no problems and that only ammonia can hurt...

Found a 25 gallon tank that will fit perfectly on my dry sink for $30 on craigslist soooooo that's 2 acquired tanks in a week. :whistle: :dance:
