    For Sale: Fluval FX 5 and Emheim Ecco Cannister

    Converted a 30 gallon tank into a refugium and don't need these anymore. They both work perfectly, you will probably have to replace the tubing or give it a really good cleaning, as well as replace the orange screw plugs since some of them are broken on the Fluval. I've never had a problem with...

    Help with Cichlid

    I've tried API pH up, baking soda, and microbe-life 8.5 pH buffer/stabilizer. I can't get it to go up. I'll try the crushed coral.

    Help with Cichlid

    I just can't seem to get the pH higher. Should I try crushed coral in the filter? How quickly does that work?

    Male or female Frontosa?

    I don't know how great my venting skills are, I always feel awkward doing it. Why can't they wear pants and skirts? Lol. Thanks, though. And I agree, Fronts are very beautiful. ;)

    Ugh! Remind me to yell at my husband. I was thinking about getting rid of the 60 gallon...guess not.

    I just love the bug eyes on the striped guy. They're slow like the Frontosa.

    Okay, my husband came home with these fish. All he could tell me was that they were cichlids. Now I know what he does on his errand days.

    Some of mine do it too. Usually because of bullying.

    Cichlids still dying

    I've got bumblebee's, demasoni, auratis, moori, acei, Frontosa. Everyone is being killed like that. My 120g has dwindled in the last month. I've found so many dead, mostly with their eyes missing and small chunks out of their sides. All of them are the same size like this one in the pic. Except...

    This bumblebee was in perfect health yesterday. I came home from work and this is what I found. What is going on?

    Transporting fish

    Lol. It was a hassle but those darn fish are worth it. I'm moving back to Corpus next year and I'm going to have to transport the 60g and 120g back with me. Not looking forward to it.

    Transporting fish

    I've traveled from Corpus Christi, TX to Galveston, TX with my fish in a large, plastic, storage container with a portable bubble maker latched to the side. All of them survived the 4 hour drive.

    Large Cichlids Dying

    Well, I could combine the sixty gallon tank with that one. I've got five yellow labs, six rainbows, three red zebras, and a couple from a mixed cichlid tank from the LFS. Then Just keep that sixty g for plants. Move the fronts into it as well. What do you think?

    That entire right side will be plants on the 60g, that's why it's so empty looking. Lol. Looks boring right now.
