I can't seem to find the "view posts since last visit" link anywhere on the homepage or on the forum page. Does this not exist anymore?

So I'm back. Right now I am down to a 20 long with a juvi salvani cichlid. My freshwater LFS selection here in Decatur is pretty terrible (I can't even find a DBN plec), but I am toughing through it out.

A week ago I started a 125 gallon tank with 12 zebra danios and a large package of bio-spira. These week I tested my water and came up with 2 ppm nitrite. That seems quite high considering the low fish load in such a large tank, especially considering I have only fed them three small meals.

Is there a way to change the link colors in FI subice? They are quite easy to miss if you arn't looking carefully. As an example, the word this in the post pictured is a link. Also note that I accidentally forgot to put a space between the words suggest and this, and that only the word this...

As the topic says, I have a 125 gallon tank (no sump) that needs to be heated. For redundancy, and because the tank is so long, it seems like 3-4 heaters would be my best bet. Money isn't really a factor, so what is the best of the best, and where can I buy it? Inline heaters would be fine...

Recently I bought a 125 gallon tank from a forum member, and am looking to set it up in a house where I have rented a room. My room is only 9x12, so a 6' tank will take up a pretty good chunk. To make room for all of the things I'll need, I have decided to just sleep on an air mattress and...

Some of you may know that I have been looking for some L-190 Royal Plecs for some time. Today I finally found one and bought it. After acclimation I put him in my specimen container to get some pictures for ID and noticed that one eye was missing. It was clear that this was not something that...

I recently received a fully stocked SW tank, but wish to use it for FW. I know the tank will be fine, and that salt is soluble enough that it won't be a problem in any of the components. Is there anything else to be concerned about, especially in the filters (2-XP3's and a fluval 104) where...

Today I wen to the ACA convention and these are some of the fish I saw. I have no idea what they are, so don't ask.

Is anyone going to the Chicago ACA convention? The website is http://www.aca2006.com/

Presently I have a single Jewel Chichlid (5" or so) and a DBN Plec (4" or so) in a 20L with a Penguin Biowheel 170. In the future the Jewel will become king of 125 gallon tank stocked mainly with cats/loaches. I would like to seed the canister for the 125gal, Rena Filstar XP3, in the 20L. I...

I recently came across a 125 gallon tank, and would like to stock it heavily with Malaysian driftwood. I have been toying with the idea of putting in a bulk order at either Dr. Foster & Smith or Aquatic Eco-Systems to get better piece selection. If anyone is interested, I can be local in...

When it comes down to it, I just love the females. I can't get enough of them. It has gotten so bad that every time I find a female betta of a new color, I just have to buy her. It has gotten so bad that I now have a 10 gallon on my desk next to me wtih 4 of the beauties. My biggest gripe...

Right now I have a 10 gallon with a trio of female bettas in it. I want to add a small plec (rubbernose, bulldog, or DBN), but that will require a filter. I went out and bought a pengiun 100B powerfilter, but I quickly realized that this will be way too much current for the females. I was...

A while back I took a picture of a warning sign with my phone, and have been wanting to make it into a warning sign for my lab desk. The only problem is that I don't have any good image editing programs on my computer. If someone could take this image, and just make the black parts...

Recently we had a discussion in this forum over who could grow the best lillies, and I think it is time for our members to put their money where their mouths are. I am looking for the best lilly picture you can come up with. I am shooting for an ending date around July 2nd to give people in...

So today I noticed one of my bettas going crazy attacking the side of the bowl. I looked closer, and noticed an ant. As the day went on I started seeing more, and I think I know where they are comming from out of my trim on the floor. I am fairly sure they are not actually my ants since I...

Now my whole life, I was under the assumtion that a 2x4 was 1.75" by 3.5". This makes sense becacause two the tall way next to each other should be just as wide as one laid the wide way. I recently joined a research group, and the wanted me to construct a soundproof box. I figured the...

Since I feel that our product review section needs more reviews in order to be truely useful, I'm willing to donate 100 kudos to each person who reviews 2 or more of their products, because I know for a fact that each and every one of you has at least a filter, a place where you bought the...

I'm looking for a female ancistrus sp.(3) somewhere around 2-3", but my LFS only gets in immature ones around 1". Anyone have any ideas?

I am looking to purchase a pond heater, but I have no idea what the differences are. What features am I looking for? What are some good brands? My pond has a surface area of something like 10-16 and a max dept of 4'. I assume this doesn't matter too much as the de-icer just maintains a hole...

A lot of times new members, or even old ones, are looking for some information that has been discussed dozens of times before. It is often tiresome to answer the same question over and over again, and people are sent to "search the forums". Quite honestly, I'll say that the search feature on...

As I had back to school this year, I am finally on my own as far as food, so I probably won't be eating as well as I should. I was just wondering if anyone here knew of a really good multivitamin suppliment, or at least what the good things are to look for.

We recently aquired our own section in the Product & Retailer Reviews area of this site. I would just like to see it being used by us, and perhaps set an example for the rest of the site. I would like to see all of you review your pumps, filters, food, liners, etc. It only takes a few...

I just submitted a product review, but in my haste forgot to choose a category. When I tried to edit the review to put it into the food category, I was told I didn't have permission. I then tried to delete it and resubmit with a proper category, and was again told I didn't have permission. I...
