I have used Melafix with great success. I have used it in my 36gal with only 1 beatup fish, and a tank full of healthies... and a week of dosing fixed my fishes open wounds and the rest of the tank was just fine. I am currently using Melafix to help my Featherfin Catfish who decided to jump...

I just picked a couple of these up yesterday from my LFS. So far the only plants I have are Anubias, they are pretty easy and I haven't had to do much to worry about them. However, I want to make sure my new Ludwigia survives, and thrives. I did some research online and looks like they are...

Ok a slight change of plans... I decided to take advantage of a sale my local fish store was having, and I picked up some live plants. Along with a couple new snails... With the live plants I knew I had to hurry and get some lighting, so I spray painted my shop light (that used to be white)...

I sure hope not. Guess time will tell. I found the substrate I am going to be using. They call it 3/8" salt & pepper, found it at the local gravel supply for $4 a bag. I didn't realize each bag would be 80lbs.... i washed it a few times and started setting up the landscape. I think i have...

Thanks. I just became a member of this forum, but this is the progression thread I have at AquariumForum.com ( My 36g Bowfront & its progression... - Aquarium Forum ) I just copied & pasted the updates to this thread so members here can see. I have since moved my tank to a different room, and...

So today I was out and about, and decided to stop at the local thrift store. While there I found a stash of fake plants and bought a few of them. When I got home I started to cut them apart and hot-glue together some new decor. Nothing too extravagant just yet. I think im going to do a total...

So all the reading I have done on the Cory Catfish told me they are social and get along well in groups. So I took a long drive to the other (larger) LFS and looked at what they had. I came home with 2 more Cory's. Right away they seem like they bonded with my other cory and all 3 have been...

Took the opportunity while the sun is down, to take a few more pictures of the tank. I made some subtle arrangements. took out the large rock formation to keep the PH levels from rising. I also added alittle more leafs to the right side of the tank for alittle more shelter. The gourami's...

So this pretty much catches us up. Its been aprox 4 weeks since I got the tank, and I think everything is comming together perfectly. Yesterday I paid a visit to the local aquarium store to get an companion for my Blue Gourami. She has been hiding alot and the Pearl seems like it bullys...

The next addition to the Community would be Gourami. I had spent weeks reading about them and the different species and decided on a Blue Gourami & a Pearl Gourami. The local aquarium store had just got their shipment in and I was able to pick the best of the litter (in my opinion). The two...

So after a couple weeks I was only down 1 neon Tetra, i decided to get a few more to help keep them 'schooled' and picked up 6 addtional neons to round out the number to 10. The next day I noticed only 9 swimming and wondered about the tenth. After a small search I found one of the strangest...

So after the first setup, i let the water cycle a week, but I couldnt deal with the white & blue aquarium rock for long... and i knew i wanted some larger rocks to act as hiding spots. I do not mind having fake plants, but I absolutely refuse to put fake plastic rocks or plastic wooden...

This is my first tank. I picked up the entire setup off craigslist for $150. I have been eyeing this tank for over a year... everytime we walk into Petsmart to get Catfood... but I just could never justify spending what Petsmart wanted. This tank came setup as you'll see in a moment. With...

those dimensions are of a 80gal tank.... Great looking tank!

There maybe a typo... the tank is 14" wide, making it 87gal. I did the math with the 13" and it came to 81gal.

I 100% certain its 88gal. Do the math. I am thinking of moving my community fish to this tank and setting my 36g for brackish waters.... or filling this 88 with cichlid and keeping the 36 for community. Not sure yet... still so much. Left to do before I can think of putting fish in it.

Its pretty annoying, i have a TON of pictures to post. Oh well, guess i will have to wait till my post count increases? or i am promoted somehow??

Its annoying trying to share with you guys, only to have to wait an hour for a post to be approved. Oh, and hi...

Tank size is 48L x 30H x 13W

Making slow progress, but its comming along. I spent a few days working out the plumbing. I wanted to come up with a simple manifold with valves on the intake & outlet so that I can use my pump & gravity to help with water changes. What I did was used all PVC pipe comming from the pump/filter...

Finally making alittle progress on this tank. I felt like I was neglecting my 36gallon and I even lost a Catfish and my blue gourami got ill... so I let this 88 sit and just take a rest, while I save some pennies and take care of my fish. I have been going to thrift stores and was looking for...

I have been wanting to get some puffer fish. I have 2 tanks I can put them in... ones a 36gallon bowfront, the other is a 88gallon tall. Both are freshwater tanks, which do you think would be best for puffers? my 36 gallon has community fish in it now, the 88 is still being setup. How many...

YOU SPENT $225 FOR WHAT!?!?!?! :eek: :lol: :rofl:

So I started this build a few weeks ago but just now registered here. So I will just make this quick and catch you guys up to speed. I am going to copy and paste from the other forum... so lets get started :cool: Cant believe this tank fell into my lap today, wasnt even thinking of getting...

About a week ago I did add a few good helpings of flake food to the sitting water, but have been so busy setting up my 88 that I have just let things in the garage sit. I suppose I could just rob material from my 36gal to help. I just want to get fish in this 88 before the end of this month.
