    Back in the hobby caught a nice Black Friday deal.

    Had to drive about 40 mins to go get it but I still have a 55g stand, so caught the 55g starter kit with a bunch a extras for 105$ out the door. Stock will be some EB acara’s, about 10 Congo tetras or Bueno Aires tetras, 10 or so cory cats, and a solo koi angel to eat up any babies, and...

    First try at planted tanks.

    So if some remember me, know I’ve pretty much been a CA/SA cichlid guy all my life meaning I’ve never been able to take a stab at planted tanks. Well... last year I took all my tanks down, and was roughly with out anything but a crummy betta bowl... (wasn’t even mine was my girls) Then... I...

    4'x2' 120 or 5'x18" 120

    Just curious which footprint people tend to favor. I myself prefer the 4x2 I don't think that extra foot long is worth more than the 6" in the width. I'm actually picking up a 4x2 tomorrow morning just cause I'm getting it for a steal. I have no clue what I wanna do with it yet or anywhere to...

    Next project...?

    Trimac's or Hogaboomorum's? Gonna order from Rapps. My last trimac from him was a boss.. And I have regretted getting rid of him for a while. Both of these are fairly rare in my area and I have never seen hoga's at my lfs. Also have inboxed a member about larger pikes, hopefully Rapps still...

    Old world 55 stock.

    So I'm giving a friend a 55g to clear out space, he wants a "pretty and active" tank. He's not so much into the monsters I keep ;) CA!!! I openly admit I know absolutely nothing about any of them, minus the few that actually captured my interest (buttikoferi) and.. That's pretty much it. Haha...

    Gf's fish. ::face palm::

    So my girl wants to take over my 75g... Ok. Rules are, who are we kidding... I had NO say. She gets to keep fish "with" me since I already pay so much attention to mine as is. She wanted fish she remembers her family keeping as a child. So with that said. Here they are. Fred the Oscar, roughly...

    125 fw oddball.

    So, my new 125 is finally set up in my room. Waiting on the fx5 to get here next week. Then to scape it. The stock list has been pretty much narrowed down to what I think I wanna keep for at least a year, where I can either sell or upgrade. 1- clown knife 1-silver aro 1 pair- convicts 1-...

    Power ball.

    So after I win tonight and I buy my houses for family, I'm going to have mine built around a 50,000g tank. So I can go swimming with them. Only problem is after a few years I'll probably need a spotter to make sure some big ol' catfish don't eat me. Not to mention the like 5-10 other 1,000g...

    Plywood tanks.

    Im curious of opinions on these types of tanks. Who all has them? How they work for you. How long these types of tanks can last? Is it really build it/seal it and it's good forever or..? So it seems easy enough for me to build one along with the stand. With christmas and tax money right around...

    Going old school.

    I made my mind up. Going to go old school and hit some of the species I have kept in the past in my 125. I'm going to do two mated pairs, cons and FM's. Along with 3 RBP's. Hopefully the RB's will take care of the fry. So naturally I have to let the cons and FM's grow out some before I add...

    Cleaning after sickness.

    Like the topic says. How long after I syphon the water out vacuum the gravel thoroughly and let the tank cycle again should I wait to add fish again? Are these the only steps I need to do? I have not felt with ick and a fish death in probably more then 10 years. Usually back then I'd let the...

    Bad news.

    I I just got home after being out of town for a little over 3 weeks. Come to find out my buddy who was to be stopping by and feeding my fish. Came by one time, dropped about 50 pellets into my RD tank and never came back. Needless to say they all rotted(for lack of a better word) absolutely...

    Grammode update

    I bought 4 of them about 2-3 months ago to start a mated pair in my 125. Well needless to say even at a young age they live up to their reputation. I currently only have 1 left and for his small size, he is pure evil. Probably the nastiest fish I have ever kept. He killed off the other 3 that...

    Fresh/salt driftwood

    So I'm curious, I'm here in Maryland, and often frequent the patomic and other brackish rivers. If I was to find some nice driftwood is this brackish soaked wood safe for fresh water? Or would I be better off looking in fresh rivers/steams when I'm out fresh water fishing?

    New oddball.

    With the passing of my bichir I find myself doing the whole research thing. I been looking at about 3 or so different fish. Khuli loach Dojo loach African brown knife It would be nice to have a couple different fish inhabit a tank this go round. Probably will use a 55. I'm just curious to...

    Bad news.

    So bummed out right now. Usually I don't get upset or let the loss of a fish slow me down, but when it was Un expected and you know it's your fault... Yeah I guess it can happen. So Jameson my Senegal bichir was just found dead. Killed by my 3-3.5" grammode cichlid. It was my fault they were...
