Hey everyone, It's been a really long time since I've posted on here. I have a sick fish that I need some advice on though. She's a 4 year old columbian catfish / black fin shark / silver fin shark (lots of names. lol). She's about 7" long and is in a 55 gallon all by herself. She has had...

Hey guys, I have a brackish tanks, so I know this really belongs in the fresh/brackish discussion, but I also know that you guys will be able to answer this question much better! Instant Ocean says to use 1/2 cup (8 tbsp) per gallon of water for a marine environment. My question is, approx what...

Hi all, I would have just posted this in my thread where I picked out my new filter (because normally I get a little peaved when people start a bunch of new threads) but it seemed like this should get a new one. :-P I just got and setup my rena xp2. I have a sand bottom (HD play sand) and have...

Hi all, My Marineland Penguin 170 HOB (now called 200) has basically completely died. The water BARELY drips out of it anymore. I have cleaned it top to bottom with no results. It's only about 2 years old, and my Whisper 30 which is about 4 years old on my other tank is still flowing like new...

Hi all, So I am thinking of a way to bring in a few extra dollars (my final year of college - YES!!) and I was thinking of starting a little fish tank cleaning business. I was just wondering if anyone can give me a few tips. And most importantly... how much do I charge?! I live in a fairly...

hey everyone, i have a black-fin shark (also called columbian catfish, silver-fin shark, etc) in a brackish tank. i took her home for the summer with me (considering i was gone for 3 months from college) and i am now moving back. i had a seperate tank setup up back home, and her tank is drained...

Hey everyone. In about 1 year I will need to construct a new aquarium. I have been doing research already for a long time, and am continuing to do so. The reason I haven't done it yet is do to space restrictions, and that I am still in college so I move a lot (summer, winter break, etc). Well I...

So I made my first trip out to Aquarium Adventure yesterday in Parma (Cleveland). Wow was that place beautiful! They have so many custom tanks with waterfalls and other water features, not to mention fish so large in them they almost belong in the zoo! However I was most impressed by their...

hey everyone. i am looking for someone with advanced web design skills for a business venture. im not looking for someone who just knows html or anything like that, i need someone with actual programming skills. im going to give a brief explanation of what id need, and if you are interested then...

Hey everyone. I was wondering what all everyone uses to edit their movies on a computer. I used an Avid MC Express (real digital editor) for a few years so I'm finding it very hard to adjust to a PC based system. I do need something that can handle audio fades, video fades, captions, and also...

So I never wanted to be that person who makes a useless post talking about what post number they are on... but now that I'm on post #499, I've decided I want to. So there! :P It took me nearly a year (11 months) but I'm finally up to my 500th post. I'm an AA addict!! I think probably 400 of...

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure if this belonged in general or unhealthy fish, but considering the fish has passed ( :cry: ) she isn't exactly unhealthy. Well lets see. For 1.5 years I had 2 columbian catfish (black fin sharks) in a 29 gallon tank together. They were purchased very small, so the...

And who can invite me? :wink: :wink: http://www.aSmallWorld.net *crosses fingers* -brent

Hi all. I hope someone out there can help me with some file recovery!! My fiance took my SD card to get pictures printed off of it a few months ago. CVS's machine was down so she took it to walmart. :roll: Anyways, while the card was in their kodak machine the whole thing crashed and...

So my fiance will be gone on Wednesday night, and I need something to do! I hate being at home when she's out. :? I'm trying to find ideas on what I could do. I live in a small town so there isn't anywhere fun to go. Not to mention I'm not going to go to a bar or club or something without...

I, like many of you (as we've had this discussion before) have gotten those fake emails from "ebay" that say your password was reset or the account is cancelled or whatever it is and click on this link to re-enter your info. It then takes you to a page that looks identical to ebay, and tricks...

I did this attention sumphead because I read your sticky about making an acrylic tank, and you obviously know what you are talking about. However anyone can respond if they know! I am building a tank that is custom to fit inside an old tv. :) It's only going to be about 2 gallons from what I...

Hey all. I have a quick question. I am planning on building a new tank for my ball python. I know this isn't the right website but hey, it's the DIY forum so the same rules apply. :wink: Anyways I was just wondering where I would be able to purchase custom-cut pieces of glass or acrylic? I...

Hey everyone. I wasn't sure where I should post this, but I figured DIY would be the best place for people with good design. Haha. I have an old tank stand that I am re-enforcing before I use it. I added 2 pieces of wood to the top for extra strength (and because my tank hung 1/8" off of the...

Hey everyone. So today I aquired an old aquarium tank stand (for free!), and I want to use it for my old 20 gallon. Even though it is very sturdy, I am considering reinforcing it, but that's beside the fact. I'm worried about the measurements. My tank is your standard tank. 20 gallons, glass...

hey everyone. i had a quick question about what microbubbles were? ive read about them in the marine forum, and they seem to be a bad thing. is it something different than just bubbles? a week or so ago i got a new pengiun bio-wheel 170 and it seems to have a ton of bubbles. the whole side of...

I have done some reasearch and have found that the light on my new hood is 100% daylight, but they make ones that are 50/50. 50% daylight, and 50% 03 light. Can anyone explain to me what 03 light is? Would this type of bulb be less bright for my fish? I used to have 50 watts of incandescent...

I just purchased a 29 gallon tank with hood and light kit. The hood is a 15w fluorescent light that says it mimics daylight. This thing is VERY bright. On my 20 gallon at one point I had 50 watts, and then later lowered it to 30. These were not fluorescent though, they were just incandescent...

I was wondering if having a background on a tank has any benefit to the fish. the bags from my LFS list everything you may need for your tank, and a background is the second thing on the list! i figure it may be just to sell stuff, but who knows. i thought id ask. the only thing i can think of...
