    Petco's dollar per gallon sale

    Picked up a 40 Breeder this morning. Got there 10 minutes before opening. At open, I was the only one there. They had 6 40Breeders in stock. I may look like the dork waiting in line for Petco to open, but I got a killer deal!

    24" Light on 36" Tank?

    Hi All, I have a 20g Tall tank (24" Width) with a dual 24" T5HO light on it. It's heavily planted with Mid and High light plants. I keep algae away with DIY CO2 and Excel. I'm thinking about upgrading to a 40B tank (36" Width) in the near future, and curious if I can use my same light...

    I have 11 Tiger Barbs of all different varieties and the stripes will change from black to green, a green that looks like like a green tiger barb's color.

    Lighting for 20g planted

    I have a 20 gallon High that that I put Amazon.com: Zoo Med AquaSun T5-HO Double Light Linear Fluorescent Hood, 24-Inch: Pet Supplies on. It is planted with probably 15 Med/High light plants. There was an increase in algae on the walls, so I added 2 Bristlenose Plecos and 3 Snails. There's no...

    And it would destroy your house when it breaks. Use something with much higher strength.

    What Algae Eaters with Tiger Barbs?

    Illegal to ship them over state lines. If you somehow have them, they can be legal.

    What Algae Eaters with Tiger Barbs?

    Went to LFS and asked if they had Apple Snails. He looked at me with a sinister face and said "Apple Snails are illegal, sir." Appreciate your help on that one... I ended up with 4 Tiger Nerite Snails

    What Algae Eaters with Tiger Barbs?

    Snail feasting is a concern. 2 weeks ago I fed them on a Friday morning and left until Sunday afternoon. When I got back, I only had 7 and 1/3 of a Tiger Barb. Nothing else before or since then. I think I'll give Apple Snails a try. Just one?

    What Algae Eaters with Tiger Barbs?

    Hi, I have a 20 gallon medium planted tank with 7 Tiger Barbs (5 Orange 2 Green), and 5 Broken Line Tetras. I have a little bit of algae in the tank, and wondering if there's an algae eater I can add to this mix that won't get bullied by the Tigers, but won't overdo my bioload. I'm using a new...

    Filter Power Wire Submerged

    Thanks all, its submerged now. @Dookie - Look at the picture, the pump is on the water side and is low, with the wire running externally up the back of the casing, wraps over the top and front, under water, to the pump.

    1 Tiger is clearly larger than the rest, and the 2 greens are slightly smaller than the Tigers, so the order shouldn't take too long to be created. Just hope they play nice.

    Its 4 regular, 2 green, all juvenile. How long until they grow to an uncomfortable size? I'm probably moving across town in the fall so there will be a tank swap either way then, or using my friends quarantine tank.

    Filter Power Wire Submerged

    Hi all, I have a new Aqueon Quiet Flow 20 in my 20 gallon tall tank. When the filter is in place, the power wire is submerged about 1/2 an inch in to the water. Being an engineer, this seems like a bad idea. My water level is just up to the point where its hidden behind the black framing for the...

    Is this light going to work?

    Hi all, new to the forums. I picked up a used 20 gallon long on craigslist and am starting the silent cycle today. I think I have everything in order, and wanted to double check the lighting. This is the bulb that's in the hood right now. It's an older aq and hood, so retrofitting means a new...
