I have kept a mandarin in a 30g for a year now. The key to massive pod populations is PHYTOPLANKTON.... ;)

well I was gonna take a pic but it seems my dig camera is sick or something. I put it in quarentine...lol...but anyway the water is still cloudy but is getting better. No where near as cloudy as it was. It looked like I poured milk in the tank the other night...lol

Ok I have had a 29 gallon going for about 6 months now, mollies, barbs, and tons of fake plants..lol...But I tried my hand at a planted tank with a 10g and the plants outgrew the tank literally. So I decided to change the 29 to a planted. I got everything set-up..went with a layer of the same...

we will take pics when we get everything in....Right now the tank is empty...4 hours from now the tank will be full...I hope...lol

We've found these rocks locally. Fayetteville, Tn...Elk River and branching creeks. Theyre real cool. thanks for the threads and info

Is there any type of rock I should stay away from for my tank. I have some really pretty either quartz or limestone that I would like to add to my tank. Will this be a problem

Yeah lawyers are pretty bad I remember this one time my lawyer took me snipe hunting, you know kind of a bonding exercise....I was so dissapointed to see no snipes but only rocks in my bag. :cry:

Well my pappy planted mine when I was 1 so I'm gonna say in about 25 more years but you have to be careful not to let Money tree locust (women) eat up all the fruits....lol :mrgreen:

I guess I'll have to go pull a couple of bucks off my money tree and hit up suckers.com....Good thing I planted that money tree cause this hobby is so expensive.... :D

I don't know, I bet they are hard to find. Hell I'm still waiting for home depot to call me when my lumber stretcher comes in...I can't finish my stand until I can stretch the last leg..... :lol:

Hang on let me ask the magic eightball......Umm it says....ask agian later...lol

I would take the damsel and acclimate him to the 10 at the same time you aclimate your clowns to the 38. Move a few things around in the 38 to confuse the damsel and effectively break his territory..a few days after the clowns have been in and the damsel has been in the 10, then put the damsel...

Man muffler bearings are expensive. I took my car in for an oil change and the guy replaced mine for 50 bucks....Great deal... LMAO....joking

The first time I go to a fish shop, the first thing I ask is can I put a tang in my 10g nano....If he shoots me a WTF look then I'm in a good place, but you'd be surprised at how many will show you the tangs with a big smile on thier face.

our son decided to physically remove his mollie from its tank to tell it that it could not go near the filter or it would get eaten up and spit out, dont think this is very humane, but it works. :cry:

I made mine with 3/4 pipe and by my calculations it is running between 350 and 450 and hour. MY pump is an old pond pump I have had for 3 years, still works great so I used it with 1/2 return line and the flow is equaled out I think it was rated at 500 when I bout it(all the stickers are gone so...

http://www.guarriello.net/overflow.htm I am using this setup for an overflow. I just followed the design this guy made and it works great....Suction is never broken, even if you drain the tank...I tested this it works great. Is the drilled look without the holes.

the funny part is he snuck into a statepark after dark to get the sand...lol...IF he had only listened to everybody that told him to rinse it he would have found the thing before it made it in the tank....But no he kept saying your just going to wash away the bacteria if you mess with...

Don't do it....I have a freind in FL that used beach sand. He got a couple of 5 gallon buckets worth, got it home, no rinse no nothing just dumped it in the tank and spread it out. After a few weeks of the tank being full of water and sand he noticed this white thing floating on top....IT WAS A...

picks after 48 hours

I did one for a non drilled tank but it looks drilled. The plans are here http://www.guarriello.net/overflow.htm works very well if you follow the design it will not loose suction. I drained the tank and it didn't loose suction. I have pics in this thread...

Ok I guess the plans weren't in the first post..Here you go http://www.guarriello.net/overflow.htm

I wouldn't waste time with setting upa ten gallon. I did this and ended up spending more a month later to move into a bigger tank and used the 10 gallon as a sump. The reason it is difficult in a 10 gal was the amount of water is so quick to change the parameters. Think about 40 wats of lights...

The overflows are made of a 2 inch PVC pipe coupling with a cap and a 7/8 inch hole as close to the rear corner as I could get it. I just took my dremel tool and cutt slots in the top for the skimmers and stuck the 3/4 pipe through the hole in the bottom, I did have to silicone the bottom pipe...

So far so good. I have had everything up and running for 48 hours as of last night, so I transferred all my stuff from my ten gallon over to the new tank. Ph levels, salinity and tempature were the same so there was no real issues except finding the snails..lol... No leaks, no floods, and other...
