OK, let me try and answer everyone Ok I am not using chemicals besides aqua safe, I may try and order some bio-sprie, thay dont have it here. I will be in the "big city" in two day, perhaps I will visit a store there. I am thinnking of asking the store for some filter media, but I am not...

Help! I am getting so tired of water changes, why wont this tank cycle? Its a 55 gallon long with 10 young lake malawi's in it. The tank has been running for 5 weeks now and still only ammonia and lots of it. No nitrates or nitrites. I have not lost any fish, but its obvious the ammonia isnt...

the hoods came with lgiht strips

yes I have 2 hoods now

Ahh see a tank is safer than a Christmas tree for us, with a 14 month old monster running around. OMG my son is... well a boy. He climbs everything, throws everything, tackles everything... and at 14 months he is the size of a 3 year old (seriously) so we dont need a christmas tree anyhow...

I always thought that about ciggarettes too, but it took my little one guilt tripping me to get me to quit... so can I quit anytime? (I never smoked in my home or while pregnant or nursing)

its very contagious

OK one feeder stowed away... now he is a permenant resident of the hospital tank. I have 11 mbuna now, fully stocked except to trade some males for females one I figure out the dynamics and stuff

I LOVE snakes, hubby however doesn't. He is more like a woman than any woman I know (in that respect!) He an I actually argue over who has to kill spiders and the only was I win is to cry and say something like "But its going to get in your baby's crib!"

LOL, no garage. Af for the tank, its a 12 inch crack right down one side of the hex tank

OMG I nearly got an approx 30 galloon hex from the neighbors yard today (my cat was up their tree :x ) but it had a huge crack. I see this tank thing becoming an obsession real soon.

SW rocks are denser? I didn't know that! I think I am within my limits then, thanks so much.

LMAO this is cracking me up! This 55 gallon is already in the kitchen, this cabin is so old and crappy that my kitchen is very LONG but 90% of one wall is bare. The tank fits great and is super easy to clean in the kitchen... but I often find myself dragging a chair in there to stare at it...

LOL

Shhhh! If my hubby see's this he will flip out! LOL, there is no room for the tanks we have already. But when I buy a house.... ohhh the possibilities!

my lfs traded me for one batch of convicts, but after that they were overstocked too!!!

convicts are the bunnies of the fish world, completly effortless to breed them, lol... I found this out the hard way.

I agree with the motion sensor sprinkler, my mom uses one of those to keep the kitties out of her pond. I would take photographs of the cat doing its damage then take copies of those photos to ther neighbors. Explain to them that if they cannot keep their cat from damaging your property the...

I have been making my own rock structures to save money but I am wondering how I should place limits on the weight of the rocks? How much weight can a glass 55 gallon long handle?

OMG I added a bunch of rocks today including 1 limestone and hours later tested my ph and it said 8.8!!!! I rested and it was fine :oops: seems I didnt clean my testing equipment enough. You may wanna check and make sure you are using good clean testing equipment and if all else fails take a...

Uggg, well now I have two tanks running. Its got me good. Ok quick rundown, had a 10 gallon wich hubby propmtly stuffed with feeders and danios. Got a 55 gallon and put everyone in there. Well after adding my cichlids I noticed the feeders were getting munched so I scooped them all out and took...

Yeah I got rid of the feeders today, they went back to PetSupermarket. I have lake Malawi's and about 10 or 11 caves for them to bicker over. I just made the caves today and watching them stake a claim on their terrirtory is great entertainment. The tank parameters are doing good too, Its...

Wow, you learn something new everyday

OK i will do that. This who nitrate nitrite thing is a confusing mess!!!

OK new test results after a 20% water change, I think I will stick with 20% daily so I don't poisen my babies. ph is still 7.8, nice stable tap water no nitrite still nitrate is about 2, its less than 5ppm but more than 0 so I am guessing about 2 or 2.5 ppm ammonia is about .30 ppm, again...
