    Food for calvus

    Hello, I've had a white calvus for awhile and am wondering what the best food is to get him to grow. He's in with my African cichlids in a 40G. I've read that NLS Finicky 1mm pellets are good. Any thoughts?

    Angels with tiger barbs

    As I'm reading the December issue of TFH magazine I noticed a photo of a tank with angels and tiger barbs. Page 70, just wondering if anyone else noticed. I have always been told its a no-no.

    Anyone use air conditioner foam filter?

    Here I am wondering again: does anyone use the air conditioner foam filter in their HOB filters? Wondering if it's safe to use in aquariums. Thought of using it with my BIO3 cartridges that I bought. I got 24 filters but only 1 blue foam piece. :fish2:

    Put pages on threads

    I like reading the threads in a lot of sections. My question is: is there a way to put pages on threads like the DIY to jump to threads I haven't read yet? I'm up to 111 of 11,650 threads but I have to scroll down every time to get to an unread thread. Just a thought, thanks.

    Can anyone tell me how much room is needed for the aquaclear 70 filter? How much is needed between the tank and the wall? Do aquaclear filters make much noise? Thanks!

    New cleaning trick

    So I was about to vacuum my 40 gallon breeder tank with Africans and tried using a mini vacuum I had laying around. It worked great in all the nooks and cranny's that my larger vacuum can't reach. And it didn't drain fast so I had a lot of extra time to clean.

    Power filter enough?

    At 1 of my LFS they set up a tank with just a power filter. Is it possible to run a SW tank with just that for equipment? I think it's a 20 or 29 gallon. I've always been too chicken to try SW but would try it if I don't have too throw a lot of money at it. please don't take last comment as an...

    Ebo-jager TS

    Hi guys, When I got my free 55 gallon set up it came with an Ebo-jager TS heater. It's totally submersible isn't it? Also, should it be vertical or horizontal? I'm guessing either. Finally setting up one of the free 40 gallon breeder tanks and going to do African cichlids. Photos to follow......

    Free tanks

    6 weeks ago I picked up a used 55 gallon tank with a stand, rocks, plants and a magnum 350 canister filter all for free. It still had water and rocks in it so it was a pain to empty. Has some scratches, the magnum cleaned up great. Sunday I picked up two 40 breeder tanks with a nice stand for...

    Bio bags not holding up

    I've read that one should use their bio bag filters as long as they can. I'm noticing that after 1 week with a new whisper bag that when I'm doing my pwc that the material is falling apart. They are made cheaper than back in the day. I guess I'll make my own. Anyone else have problems with these?

    Large Whisper filter frames wanted

    I'm looking for 2 or 3 whisper large power filter cartridge frames but don't want to buy the whole filter and end up with a ton of extra bags. Do any of you out there have any you would want to sell (or donate to my cause)? :thanks:

    Info about sponge filters

    I'm always interested in aquarium "gadgets" and bought a sponge filter on eBay for about $2. At my LFS they are around $18. Is it only for fry tanks or can any tank benefit from it? Any info or thoughts would be appreciated. Trying to post pic but won't work right now. I'll keep trying.

    Submersible heater placement

    Does the angle if a submersible heater matter? What is best, vertical, horizontal or diagonal ? It's in a 55g and is 200W. and is it best to be by the power filter?
