Is the dorsal fin rounded or pointed? If is rounded female pointed male.

Is this a male or female GBR?

Finally got time to build a canopy for my wife's planted 55 gallon tank. The canopy has 4 screw in cfl's. 2 26watt 2 23watt ones. Here are before and after pics.

Would an ADF do alright in a 4 gallon tank? Right now he is living in the kids 55 gallon tank and is been doing fine for about 2 months. My son wants to get another one would the both of them be fine in the 4 gallon?

Well I finished the stand today. I painted the inside black and left the outside wood colored. I also built doors for the space over each tank ( thanks huma-huma). Here are some not very good pics.

I hadn't thought of that. That is a great idea I believe I have enough boards left to do that.

I am sorry I thought it was GE II

There is aquarium safe silicone you can buy at your LFS or from any hardware store you can get GE II silicone just make sure it doesn't have anything in it that kills mold or mildew.

Here is the stand I built today for my 2 4 gallon tanks that I built a few weeks ago. Each tank has a light socket above and they will be using DIY filters. One tank will probably be a hospital/quarantine tank. The other is gonna house my sons ADF for now until I get him a bigger tank. Here are...

The pic was taken right after I filled it back up. The water has cleared up now.

Here are before and after pics of my 10 gallon. I cleaned the glass and relocated some of my chain sword. First 2 are before.

Kinda made me mad but everything happens for a reason. Maybe a better deal will come along.

Well I think I got burned on my deal. I told the people I would meet them at 3:00 yesterday, drove 30 miles to meet them nobody there and no response to my phone calls.

The lights will be about 20 inches from the substrate. The bulbs are 23 watt 6500k screw CFL bulbs (equivalent to 100watt incandescent bulbs)

I am building a hood for my wife's 55 gallon tank. I am going to use 23w cfl bulbs. The plants she has are wisteria, banana plant, and an Anubis (not sure the kind). How many bulbs should I put on the hood? I have a 10 gallon running 2 of these bulbs now and it is an algae farm.

Thought it would be neat for people to list some of the great deals they have gotten off of craigslist or at yardsales. Doesn't have to be aquariums. I got a 55 gallon tank and stand for $50

I want a 75 and a 30 and then I am done just have to convince the wife

Yea I know I am thinking 2 more tanks and then I am done.

Well I got the tank. Gotta pick it up tomorrow. Now to figure out what to put in it

About a week ago I was looking through craigslist on my iPhone like I do every day and I saw an ad for a 55 gallon. They didn't say it was a 55 just listed the dimensions and a picture of it and the stand. Since I have 2 55's I knew what it was by the dimensions. They didn't have a price just...

Yea I know. Now to figure out what equipment to get for this tank. I am thinking about using a canister filter on this tank. I have never used them before I have always used HOB's. I will have to build a hood for it because I don't have one. I already have a stand. I built a stand for this tank...

Well I filled the 12 gallon tank up this morning to leak test it and after about an hour the bottom shattered. I guess it couldn't take the pressure. But on the plus side I went out to the garage and dug out my old 30 gallon tank I will need to reseal it. Now that opens a whole new set of...

Never mind went out side to check on it and the whole bottom of the tank shattered. Guess it couldn't take the pressure.

So I filled it this morning to leak test it and I noticed it is bowing in the middle of the 2 sides. How do I go about bracing it to stop it from bowing?
