Browsing through Amazons daily deals, and noticed that the FX6 is on the lightning deal list and starts at 0900 Mountain (1100 Eastern). Thought I'd share for anyone looking to pick one up, should be a decent discount once it starts...

In doing research and reaching out to people about blue velvets, many have been mentioning blue dreams. Does anyone have experience with blue dreams or any knowledge they can share? What are opinions here? Should I stick with getting a colony of velvets or look at finding dreams instead? Not...

Howdy all. This is my first ever attempt at any sort of wood work. Got a pair of 15g tanks and I decided that to try building a couple stands/display cases (that were wife approved of course) so they can be set up in our front room. Anyway, they're going to be open using redwood 2x2 corner...

Does anyone know of or sell good quality blue jelly and orange sakura shrimp here? I'm not looking to buy just yet hence why I didn't post in classified, just curious. Would prefer to order from some members before I go through aquabid or any site. Thank you.

Anyone able to tell me what the common name of this guy is? Tank at my LFS labeled him a loach but nothing else. Owner wasn't sure either since he wasn't specifically ordered or labeled in their last shipment. He's a little washed out from stress, I can get better pictures later if needed...

Morning all, I am starting up a couple 15gal tanks for 2 separate shrimp colonies but not sure what to use for substrate. I'm leaning toward just the basic black sand or gravel from the store. Is there any reason for me to use a live substrate? For those that have colonies of their own, what do...

Howdy all, looking for some help. I have a 70g corner tank and want to get some light above the very front of the tank. As it stands right now, my light bar is 8" from the front at the farthest spot (see picture). When fish are along the front, they're in shadow and dark due the the light being...

Howdy all, I'm looking to see what everyone thinks of this internal filter. I have an aquatop canister and love it, just don't have any experience with internals. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006K1Z4C2/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1397527118&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

I am looking for a couple aquariums to be in my front room as show tanks (shrimp) and came across this at a petsmart. Wondering what everyone here thinks. They look to be good (branding aside). National Geographicâ„¢ Aqua Oasis Starter Kit | Aquariums | PetSmart filter in the kit: Amazon.com...

Does anyone have any info or have a colony of these shrimp? I am looking to start a couple shrimp colonies, one orange sakura and the other a blue variant. either going to be blue jelly or blue panaque. However, I'm not able to find much info about the panaque so wondering of anyone here has...

Howdy all. I've been looking at starting a pair of shrimp only tanks for a while now and right now, not sure if I want to do a 10g tank or a 20L. One will be blue shrimp (most likely blue jelly) and the other orange (sakura or pumpkin). They will also be lightly planted with low light plants and...

I've been trying to find some info on this for a few days now, and can't find anything. If a 1x2 (or 1x3) were to be used as a support beam, about how much weight could it hold? I am looking to build a K shaped bookshelf/stand that will be able to hold up to 75lbs on the very top. The top will...

Just wanted to share my before and after pictures of an overhaul I just completed earlier today. Been in the hobby for 5ish years now and just recently started getting more involved. First thing that I wanted to do was a complete overhaul of my main aquarium, a 70g corner for cichlids. So a...

Looking to buy some more holey rock for my cichlid tank. I've found a few websites that seem to have some good bulk deals but wondering if there's any recommendations from people here. :thanks:

Howdy all, I'm planning on getting a pair of 10g shrimp tanks up sometime in the future. My biggest question though is sponge filters; I've never used or really looked at them before, so not sure where to begin. What should I look for? Any specific brands over another or recommendations? Are...

I'm planning on switching my tank to a peacock and hap tank soon and am curious about one thing. I know that they prefer a higher pH of around 8, my tap water is 7-7.2. I am planning on putting in some cichlid sand and Texas holey rock. Will water changes affect the fish at all when I do a...

I've been watching a bunch of vids and researching a lot trying to plan out changing my cichlid tank. While watching KG Tropical's videos, he mentioned xtreme fish food. Looking it up on amazon and it seems really good, better than omega one and NLS (which is what I'm currently feeding). Has...

Howdy all. I have a 70g corner tank that is currently mixed cichlids. Been up and running for 3 1/2 years now, but only 2 fish are from the original stock. (They aren't allowed to be rehomed) In the future I am going to change it into a peacock and hap tank and change the decor to be a more...

Anyone able to identify this bottom feeder? Can try and get better pictures if needed.

Looking for suggestions and opinions on getting an algae eater for my community tank. Its 36 gallon bow front and already fully stocked. Have driftwood in there that has an algae film and looking for something that would be happy to keep them clean without being a large bio load increase. In...

Got a pair of GBR's this past weekend and looking for verification on their genders. Going off the info I've found here about genders, I picked out what I believe to be a M/F pair. Not positive though and looking to see what the experts here think :) First GBR (I think is the male) Second...

Howdy all, I have a 36 gallon bowfront that is partially stocked. have 10 cardinal tetras, a pair of japanese blue guppies, and 3 sunset honey dwarf gourami's. I will be adding a group of cory cats this weekend (6) but not sure what else to add. Wife likes zebra danios and wants a couple more...

Howdy all. Just stopped in and saying hi. Been a lurker for quite a while now and finally decided to go ahead and sign up. Been running a 70 gallon cichlid aquarium for a few years now, but most of the current fishies have only been in a few weeks. Also just started a 36 gallon bowfront...
