I'm moving away from freshwater and in to saltwater. As a result, I no longer have a need for the canister filters. Here's what I have: $75 - Rena Filstar Xp1 $100 - Eheim Ecco 2236 Both of them are right at 1 year old. Weekly maintenance has been done since purchase (including keeping the...

I've been a member here for quite a while (though inactive). I've always had FW tanks, though. I tore down my planted 75g and it has sat dormant in the garage for over 2 years. I've decided I want to get a SW tank running now. I've done my research and I BELIEVE I know what I need equipment...

Ambulia, and tons of it. The stuff is a weed! I haven't clipped it yet, so I'll take custom "orders" (up to 12" per stem). It would be nice to get in on a clipping trade so that I can start offering other plants at prune time, but I'll also get rid of this stuff at the cost of shipping ($4.55...

I think my 75 gallon tank has too much bio load in terms of Pleco's. 4 juvenile BN's and an adult Clown... Anyway, I'll sell one or two I've attached a few pictures. These guys are probably 1.5" and just starting to form bristles. I'm not sure of sex. I raised them from fry and are very...

I am clipping my Ambulia about 3 times a week now. I have 25 stems at about 6". If you want some Ambulia at a different length, let me know how much and at what length and I'll clip it fresh for you. I am asking $10 for a good sized shipment (typically 6 stems at 6" a piece). This includes the...

Will pay for shipping + whatever you ask. I will take anything up to Medium-High lighting. I'm trying to come up with an aquascape for my 75 gallon and want to try a variety of plants before I buy in bulk. Thanks!

I'm baffled. :? Zebra Danio's are supposed to be ultra easy to keep, yet I can't seem to do it. In my 29 gallon planted tank, I have 6 neon's, 2 black skirt tetra's, 2 flame (von rio) tetra's, 4 baby bristlenose plecos (about 1" each), a clown pleco, and a single remaining Zebra Danio. Now...

I've recently set up another planted tank (30 gal) and stuck it with ~2.5 WPG. I'm looking for some clippings to buy/trade. I'm embarrassed to say that the only thing I have that's ready for trimming is Ambulia, but I'm willing to buy clippings if nobody would care to trade.

Howdy all, I've had a planted 20L up and running for about a year now. Since it was put up, it's been running with Flourite with Play Sand over the top. I've had good plant growth and everything's healthy. Now that we're about to move and I will be taking this tank down to do so, I am wondering...

I'm looking to swap some plant clippings to help add some variety to my tank that I've finally got stabilized. The only thing I have to offer at this time is Ambulia and Purple Cabomba clippings. I have a high light tank (20L, 3.5WPG, CO2, ferts, etc) so I'm up for virtually anything. I'm going...

Anyone know where to get them? I'm guessing that maybe a standard fitting from Lowes/Home Depot will work just fine, but I haven't checked it out yet. Basically, the white fitting that came with it won't fit on any of the faucets upstairs so I need to find one that will...

Well, my new 20 long is finally set up and is cycling (should be done in about 7 days). I'm also starting to add my plant plants, wood, and stones. Now is the time for me to seriously start looking at stocking. Here are the tank specs: Size: 20 gallon LONG Substrate: Flourite base with play...

I just got my new 20g long started. Running flourite/sand substrate, DIY CO2 injection, and A WHOLE LOT of light (2x 24" fluorescent tubes overdriven 4X - equates to between 60W and 80W, depending on efficiency)!!! I've got my dosing regiment ready, I'm just waiting on some plants.... I've...

I have a pair of goldfish that I'd like to give away to a good home. I will quite possibly be getting out of the hobby while I am busy with school and work. I'm finding less and less time to keep up with the tank lately and it's really not fair for my fish to have to suffer. Last night I...

Before I kick anything off, I revert you to this thread: Original I'm not the originator of the concept, but I have been dabbling in my free time with my own version. I'm pleased to announce that I have finally set up a small (and old) server in preperations of the initial release. I still have...

Yes, I know.... you don't want to read another stocking question. But here it is anyway. We got a 10 gallon aquarium for my daughter (that's how I justify it. lol). It's already up and running and is planted with low/mid light plants. We went looking for fish, but my daughter wanted everything...

I spent a good hour or so at the local PetsMart the other day with my daughter because she wanted to see the baby "Bloats" (Finding Nemo) and baby "Mr. Sykes" (Shark Tale) blow up like on the movies. She was watching the dwarf puffers, by the way. After an hour, I told her that they were too...

This is my daughters favorite fish. Since the tank is near the front door, whenever we are leaving the house, we cannot go until she spots "Clownie"... sometimes she's better at it than I am. I was playing around in the tank and out he came to investigate, though not far from his "cave". I...

My dad has a ton of tanks from 10 to 20 gallons that he is going to give me. I'm going to take probably a 20 and his smaller 5 gal and turn them in to planted tanks. What's the best setup for a 10 or 20 gallon planted? HOB or (R)UGF filter? What about lighting? I.E. Where can I get something...

Lots of snail talk lately and pics of "Gary" splitting the seams made me think that I want one. Are they safe in a goldie tank (both fish less than 3", including tail)? Also, what other reqs do they need (i.e. feeding, temp)?

I've been to a couple of local shops around here, but nobody has any smaller pleco's. Perhaps I just haven't found the right shop though (just moved). I'm really looking for a BN (DBN) pleco between 1 and 2 inches, but may consider others. Max size must be less than 5", so it has to be a dwarf...

We all know the typical algae crews (some/most plecos, some shrimp, oto's, some snails, etc), but what I personally don't know is what crew I should hire for my tank. I have a 29 gal goldie tank (see signature). I'm filtering at about 10x and it is a medium planted tank. I currently don't have a...

So last night we packed up the rest of our stuff (moving). As a result, we're staying with my wife's grandparents... who doesn't have internet. So, I jumped on my phone to check out AA. While it was very doable, it was a pain in the rear. Lot of scrolling and I couldn't log in to post. Has...

First off, I'm not trying to make light of the Rita situation. I pray for all those that will be directly affected.... but, why does it have to happen this week/weekend?!?!?!?!?! I'm moving from New Mexico to the Dallas area and we'll be arriving Sunday morning. My parents (who live in East...

As some of you may know, I'm moving from Albuquerque, NM to Dallas (The Colony), TX in just 2 weeks. I'm really worried about the move, both on the human side and on the fish side. As each day passes, I think more and more about contact the LFS where all 3 of my fish were purchased and asking if...
