Setting up my 360 gallon. Right now it has two pumps that do 1900 gph each. They are really loud and I want to replace them with something quieter. Problem is I know nothing at all about these things. Any recommendations on brands that are quiet and reliable?

I decided to rehome my jag, have a buddy that wants him. That way I can get another along with the peacock. Both will be about 2 inches. The eel will be about 6 inches. The LFS I'm getting them from said that peacock typically gets around 18 inches in his experience. Not sure if thats true or...

Haha i wouldn't add all that. Just said it to get a response and to bump the thread. I'm thinking a blue azul peacock, the jag, festae, and a fire eel tho. Possibly a school of giant danios. Think that would work?

Nevermind. Got 4 dovii and 4 peacock bass.

I just got a 8 foot long by 2 high by 3 deep 360 gallon aquarium. I have a 4 inch jaguar and a 3 inch festae in my 90 that I will move into the new tank once its set up. When I move them I want to add some fish and am looking for ideas. I'm open to anything. I want at least one more large...

Nevermind he died.

His color is back but he's stil l at the surface. He's completely verticle with his nose douching the surface. I don't think its a lack of oxygen because its never been a problem before with the same setup and I just did a water change today.

Unfortunately I can't get my pictures to upload.

Today I removed some fish from my tank. Had to get the water level pretty low. Afterwards I noticed my featherfin was pretty pale and at the surface of the tank. The water I added was conditioned and at the same temp as the tank. I do water changes twice a week so he's no stranger to them. I'm...

Sweet thanks!

250 gallon stocking options with jaguar cichlid I was remodeling a kitchen today and it turns out the homeowner used to own a lfs. He has a 250 gallon tank and was thinking about getting something smaller, i have a 90 and want something bigger. So we may trade. He also has a 40 gal sump he said...

Thanks for the replies! I'll give it a shot.

Will heaters hurt plants? I have heaters in the corners of my tank and am wondering how close plants can get to them. The bare spots around them draw attention to them and its driving me nuts.

I already got the Dempsey. Would a severum be compatible? If so I'll check them out.

I decided to go with a bbjd and a gold saum. I like the idea of adding the red tailed black shark.

I have a 90 gallon tank. Would an electric blue jack Dempsey and green terror work together? Was hoping to get two small males and introduce them to the tank at the same time.

The reefers group is a good idea. Theres gotta be one of those around here. Thanks for the help.

Cool I'll check out amazon tonight. I'm in Olympia Washington.

I'd like to do something in between. I would like a natural look to it. Any book recommendations?

I'm completely new to salt water so any advice is good advice and is much appreciated. Right now I have a 90 gal freshwater and an empty 40 gallon bowfront. I've been tossing around the idea of using the 40 to start a saltwater tank then maybe the 90 too down the road. My only experiences have...

Sorry I think I posted this in the wrong forum. He's upside down at the surface now. Still moving and all that, just swimming upside down.

Just got a featherfin cat. After acclimating him to the new tank I released him and he swam down to the bottom. Within 5 minutes he was up at the surface and has stayed there for about 15 minutes now. Hes swimming slowly but at times looks like he's trying to swim fast and can't. I washed my...

Yeah good point. I'll wait and watch. Thanks for the help!

I did a pwc this evening in preperation for medicating tomorrow morning. My thinking was that if there are other infected fish I'd catch it early. Is that something I should hold off on? I'm sure they wouldnt like being medicated unneccessarily but it feels like the lesser of the two evils. I'd...

Will do! Yes he was in the main and the second fish that has the discoloration is also one from the main and this is the first medical issue I've had with any fish. What makes me nervous is that the second fish became sick almost 2 days after the ps fish was removed. It also worries me that one...
