    Tiger barbs die for no reason. ARRRRGHH!!!!

    Uhh, what exactly is wrong with Petsmart? They do a good job at my local store. Besides, my only other choices are Wal-Mart and Petland. And no, I am not ordering fish online. That is beyond gay.

    Tiger barbs die for no reason. ARRRRGHH!!!!

    Top Fin vs Penquin Bio wheel Filter. Difference?

    Hmmm this thing is still noisey. They supposed to make this bad *gurrglign* sound in the impellor area or do I need wait for some alae and slime to quiet it down?

    Top Fin vs Penquin Bio wheel Filter. Difference?

    Ok, I went and picked one up after trading in my dual powerheads *I love PetSmart* and got it setup and I decided to go ahead and run my Top Fin 30 with it so I got duel filter action going on. The Emperor is a little noisey, must be from the bubbles, hopefully it goes away. Anyone know if...

    Top Fin vs Penquin Bio wheel Filter. Difference?

    So, could I get away with removing my power heads, leave the filter mesh as is and then install 50gph Penguin biowheel and everything will be ok?

    Top Fin vs Penquin Bio wheel Filter. Difference?

    Really? Loose the UGF? Why? Isn't that like a defaco standard for an aquarium? And I do have plenty of plants in my tank and my levels are acceptable when I suck away the gravel with my Python. Please explain more.

    Tiger barbs

    That would scare me too. In any case, I have a 29g with 12 of the bad boys and its enjoyable watching my Red tailed shark chase them and get all pissed off and then chase him into a corner or cave. Luckily they leave my Pleco alone as they freaking ate my damn Rupperlipped Pleco :x

    Feeding question

    I don't bother turning the filter down or off on mine If anything is missed, my Shark and Pleco will clean up after the Tiger Barbs.

    Ghetto ways of keeping tank temps

    Dude, that little dwinky heater is MAYBE gonna add $5 to your electric bill, if even that. Your gonna go through all that to spend MORE money trying to keep a tank warm without using a heater? Were not talking about heating a pool, were talking about a 29g tank. Mine flicks on and off ever 5...
