Your probably right,and I'm not saying I think buying fish at Walmart is a good idea. Just trying to say that it's not as black and white as saying by not buying one fish your helping in the long run. Even if its true, the betta you might have bought and put in his own 10g tank might end up in a...

How do you know if you can trust a Craig's list tank? Inspect for any cracks and then just hope it holds water?

I've heard that if you give the adult guppies a stern talking to, it can go a long ways.

Exactly I'm glad you see it my way ^_^. No, what I'm saying is if every serious fish owner boycotted Walmart, which most probably do, it wouldn't make a bleep on walmarts fish sales cause there's so many uninformed people that just buy fish on a whim. So every once and a while if you can make a...

Well like that little story of the kid on the beach says, to that one fish it makes a difference as well. I guess it's just a catch 22. IMO saving that one betta makes a bigger impact than not buying it when it comes to one person.

Well then it's settled I will definitely set up a quarantine tank. The only question now is what size. Like I said I want to setup a 75 gallon African cichlid tank. Would you all recommend a 20 gallon qt tank or a 10 gallon? Also would you recommend having a qt running constantly or just when...

local landscaping / stone companies may have diffrent kinds of sand, most of which may be in piles so you can visually see the sand and decided if its a large enough grain.

Here ya go ^_^

I put fish, water, some of the substrate (gravel at the time) and the filter (just the mesh to keep bacteria alive). I didnt put any big decor in there cause i didnt want to crush any fish with the swishing around in the car. The tank i cleaned out and packed with Styrofoam with rest of my...

what i did one time is got one of those big rubber made storage boxes, you can get like a 30 gallon for very little money, or however big you need. Worked like a charm.

Was thinking of setting up a small quarintine tank at the same time as setting up a 75 gallon cichlid tank. Was wondering how many of you use a quarantine tank, and if so was it worth the investment?

http://m.wikihow.com/Convert-an-Old-TV-Into-a-Fish-Tank unfortunately not 100% original :( But these days an original idea are far and few between.

Are you planning on putting a substrate in there? If so perhaps rest it on egg crate ?

This Kinda the general idea ? Aquatic Fundamentals 29 Gallon Blue Dollhouse Stand at PETCO Don't know if they have it in the store but if so might be something to look at to get an idea of how they put it together. Don't know how good at wood working you are but if you want to use the doll...

im currently researching for the same kind of tank (75 gallon African cichlids) and found African Cichlids: Welcome to The Cichlid Recipe to have some good information, they go over how to care for cichlids, diffrent types of african cichlids, as well as give a few examples of different...

the gfci would replace the wall outlet that the powerstrip is plugged into. Another option is something like this...

It's the plug with a test/reset button on it. If you replace the wall plug with a gfci be sure to place all wires on the "line" side otherwise every other plug downline on that circuit will have gfci protection and lose power when the gfci trips.

you could also buy a PVC junction box in the electrical department of your home improvement store if you can't find a rubber made big enough, I can post a picture if you need me to
