Thank you very much for the quick reply!

Hi all, I was told this was an Endler. I have a lot of them and they're multiplying like crazy. Can anybody definitely identify it for me? Sorry if the pic didn't really turn out, they don't hold still long!! Thank you!

Hi everyone, This is more of a curiosity as I was sitting here talking to my wife about the tank and she said (jokingly) "imagine if the water return tube (from the filter) broke. The filter would just keep pumping 75 gallons of water alllll over the floor". I laughed and said "that would be...

I had painted my 75 gallon black about a month ago. I bought the cheap acrylics from Wal-Mart. I think I paid $2 for it. . . It went on really nice. Took about 3 coats to get it nice and covered. I was happy. UNTIL. . . I was fiddling with the intake about a week after painting and I...

Wow! I'm embarrassed to admit this in public but I didn't even notice that it didn't have gauges! Goooood call! Looks like I'm going with the Milwaukee!

Thanks again. I agree all around!

I like the look of the one you linked. I would much rather buy something that comes recommended over something I "assume" will work well. I think I'll order it tomorrow. Next trick is sourcing a co2 tank locally and not having to give up my first born for it! Thank you again. Good to see I'm...

Excellent! Thank you for the reply, Here is the link again to the regulator "combo" that I was looking at: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Aquarium-CO2-Regulator-2-Outlets-with-Solenoid-Magnetic-Valve-DC02-06-/160846349970?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var&hash=item2573308692&_uhb=1 That link should work...

Hi there everyone, I know there are a million articles out there on CO2 but given that this community is incredibly helpful, I wanted to try and go straight for the answer specific to what I'm trying to accomplish. The quick background: My tank is 75 gallons, I have Cabomba, Crypts, Rotala...

Test kit should still be fine. I'm leaving towards it hasn't finished cycling. Even though ammonia and nitrite read 0. I'm going to just try and wait out the worst of it and see if it clears up. Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone, I'm really at a loss here....I've had my 75 gallon tank up and running for a little over a month now. It's cycled (according to the liquid tests). However, the following is taking place: A. The water has been milky/cloudy for a few weeks B. Test results say the following: Ammonia...

Hi everyone, I have a 75g tank with a Eheim 2236 (Easy 80) running on it. While it says that it is good for up to 80 gallons, I am quickly hearing that this isn't really the case. Thus, I would like to get a second filter for the tank. It is a freshwater community tank with some Molly's...

I painted mine a few weeks ago after watching some vids and asking around. I ended up going to Walmart and buying a cheap tube ($2-$3) of black water based acrylic craft paint. I did three coats using a decent quality sponge roller and used a hair dryer between coats to make it dry quickly. I'm...

I've moved him in the hospital tank with some general meds in the water. I'll give him the recommended weeks worth of treatment and see how things go. Thank you all for the help.

Managed to get a bit better picture.

There's not really any fin damage but I did take the a-hole guppy and move him to a different tank a few weeks ago. This tetra really does seem to be acting normally... He just has what looks like this white dome over his eye. He's most certainly blind on that side.... I'm struggling to get a...

Hi everyone, Has anybody seen this before? This tetra has had a white/bubbly eye for weeks. He's active, eating and otherwise fine except for this gross eye. It doesn't look like popeye which I've been reading about. He was in with a rather aggressive guppy and I can't help but wonder if...

The bulb currently in my hood is a Marineland F40t10 natural daylight. Upon further reading. . .my hood is a T8/T10 so it looks like T5's are out of the question for the time being. Maybe in a while I'll look at upgrading to a T5 dual hood. . .but for now, I just don't think it's in the...

*edit* Double post (not sure why it posted it twice!)

That helps a lot! Thank you for the info. I'll take a look at a few of those links and see what I can hunt down. Out of curiosity, is there a big (or any) difference between the basic bulb it came with and those ones at the LFS that say they're for planted tanks? Will it basically be the same...

Hi everyone, I have just finished (for now!) setting up my new 75 gallon freshwater community tank. I'm pretty excited about it and love the way it's turned out. My only gripe is with the lighting. I have the 48" hood lamp that came with it and it has one of those long halogen bulbs in it...

Thanks again!

Very helpful! Thank you. Do I dare ask how you identify the boys and girls? I haven't been able to find much online. As far as I know "Shelly" is a "Bob"

Thank you for the reply! And thoughts on my baby questions? How many usually hatch from a clutch (on average?) I would love to get Shelly a friend but am worried that in no time I could have hundreds of these things! Then I wouldn't know what to do with them and would feel bad squashing the...

Hi there everyone, I'm a long time lurker on this forum and new member. I and/or my family have had fish as long as I can remember. Recently I decided to introduce my daughter (4 years old) to the fascinating world of aquariums and we picked up a nice 10 gallon tank (I would love bigger but...
