Figured I would add a little more driftwood. So I redid the left side of the tank. 125g rescape.: https://youtu.be/B9LS9kbqPe0

After two and a half months I finally have my planted 125 up and running. Been forever it seems like to me. It's a low light set up, went with the less is more approach. I'm running a Fluval fx6 and two penguin 350s for filtration and using Finnex leds for my lighting. My heaters are two 250w...

So after looking for awhile trying to find a good 125 with no luck I ordered a new Marineland 125 for 299 bucks. Couldn't beat the price. My plan is to combine both my 55s into it and just have one large tank and one quarantine tank. So Wednesday this week I get to pick up my tank and as far as...

I'm gonna be picking up a brand new 125g tank this week and won't be setting it up till probably Feb or March. I was gonna store it out in my shop which isn't heated unless I'm out there working. Would it be OK to store out there or should I keep it inside in my basement where it will stay warm?

Here is my 55g South American Cichlid tank. I have 3 large veil fin Koi angelfish, also a pair of Geophagus tapajos. And can't forget my 4 clown loaches I'm growing out for their eventual home in the 125. The green on the left will be replaced when my Manzanita come in.

Can't wait to get home and do my maintenance on my tanks. For me it's a good way to relieve stress when I've had one of those days like today. Anyone else relieve stress this way? There's something calming when I'm dealing with my aquatic hobby.

Ok here's a few pics of my 55 gallon angel tank. It's current inhabitants are an adult gold marble male, a golden female veil(their a mated pair) and the two newest are a breeder size clown and a zebra, both of which are veils. My plants are water sprite, hygrophillia, Amazon sword and Java...

I thought I may have an ich outbreak. Now I'm wondering if I had ich at all. A few of the angels had some white spots but not many spots, maybe 6 or so but they also got what looked like a secondary fin rot fungus. I turned the temp up to 86 for my vacation and I didn't see anymore spots on any...

Just like the title says. Specifically around the Martin area? Or puducha KY area?

Ok so I have 4 of these in my 55g now. The reason for only 4 is that's all they had and wouldn't be getting any large ones in for awhile. I know they say to buy them bigger to lessen the chance of sickness and what not. I purchased them at 3 inches in length. I've done lots of reading about them...

I was finally able to get some decent size clowns. I got three of them, two of them are 2.5" and the other is 3". I'm keeping them in my 55g for now until Jan of 2015 when I will get my 125g. I know there slow growers so will they be alright in the 55g until I get the 125 all set up? I'm very...

So I was at my LFS today and thay got some of this twisted rosewood in, this stuff isn't cheap let me tell ya. So since I'm sticking with an orangish brown them to go with the Kois I decided to buy a piece and try it. Sure enough, once wet it had the color I wanted. Here's a few pics of it...

I started up another 55g tank and I seeded it with the filter media from my other 55g. I used a lot of the beneficial bacteria from my other tank, 8 filters worth of it. So how long do I need to wait to add some fish?

Ok so now that I've gotten another 55g tank I figured I'd share how the build is going. This tank was given to me from a neighbor, yeah I was stunned. Here's the tank. I filled up the tank overnight to check for leaks and it was all good. So I put 5 coats of exterior flat black latex paint on...

Well I went LFS to get the Rabaui cory's I special ordered today and they are covered in white disease of some sort! Like ick or some other parasite. To think I was gonna put them in my display tank!!!! That's it I just used the money I was gonna buy them with and bought a 20H instead for a...

Ok I'm new to this breeding and could use some help. I have 3 adults in my 55g, 2 golden and 1 gold marble. One of my golden's and the marble have spawned, this is their first go at in and the male ate the eggs. Anyways they do not want the other gold angel in the tank with them at all...

Ok so I've been staring at my tank and decided to move all my tall hygrophillia to the back for backgrond plant's. On the left I planted some redish hygro that I will keeep trimmed for a foreground midish ground plant. On the right I moved my water sprite forward and trimmed everything. This...

Here's a pic of my newest 2 year old male gold marble. Here's a few of my Rabauti cory's My Bolivian ram.

So I was able to get one of these for my 55g angel tank about 11 months ago. I bought it at 1.5" and it is now 4 inches. I mush say it's a gentle giant, it gets along great with my cory's and doesn't uproot my live plants. It's very reclusive though you only see it during feedings. Their really...

So I've had my tank planted for 6 week's now. Here's a pic of when I started. to now. Everything is doing really well.

Here's my low light, low tech 55 after 6 week's of growth. I don't have any good pic's of when I first planted it but all plant's were between 6 and 8 inches. I have some hygrophillia polysperma, and corymbosa, water wisteria, water sprite, java fern, amazon sword and jungle val. All my lights...

So I went to the lfs store last week and picked up a 2 year old gold marble angel. Now this had some damage on it's top fin which I thought was fin rot. I bought it and took it home, the lfs owner said it got brought in that way and it was neglected. I'll say this poor thing I don't think will...

Long story short. I went to the LFS today to pick up a Jave fern and I stumbled across this. An adult golden marble angel! This is huge, he had it in a special tank by itself cause it kept getting picked on in the tank's he was putting it in plus, it came in with tattered up fin's from the owner...

Well 2 of the angels I just added to my tank have paired and just layed eggs and are terrorizing the other three keeping them corralled in the opposite side of the tank. They've been doing this for the last 4 days. I'm afraid I'm gonna have to take them out. Man and I've only had these for 3...

Still working on improving my live plant tank. I added some water wisteria, Java ferns and more hygrophillia today. It's getting there.
