I want to breed madagascar rainbowfish but im not sure how to go about it. This will be the first time i seriously go about breeding any fish and want to do it right. What size tanks should i use to breed hatch and grow out the fish. What are the easiest diy or cheap foods to use for fry...

No i just came into a 210 so it put off my other project. This will be the forst tank i drill and run a sump on

Im not a big fan of cichlids by the way i know im strange but ive kept them before and just waiting for my last few to die of old age before i take down that tank they are 7 years old so maybe another year or 2

I got room to set it up but i did not plan on having a second 210 so i dont know what ill put in it or even if i want to go salt or fresh. Ideas are greatly appreciated i will drill this one for a sump the only regret i have on my first 210 was not drilling it. I still have to reseal and add...

Well i picked up another huge tank for $100 think im gonna set this up not sure fresh or first salt tank though just need to clean and reseal aquarium

How long are the hoses?

The bridge would tap into the tower and the tower overflow into the top teir of tier tank ill have plenty of capacity under teired tank to deal with overflow issues. But trying to seal the bottom of glass tower to the bottom of the top teir would be a challenge. I could put a glass bottom on...

Theres not much of a market for plants in my area. The LFS doesnt buy anything or offer credit from customers its a drag

I got an old petsmart plant display tank like this one I was thinking about trying something radically different with it My first though was to use it as a sump but my tank is not drilled and dont trust or like the look of overflows. I thin thought maybe i could create a fish bridge concept...

Glad to know im not the only okie that loves aquarium fish lol

I broke the primer plunger on my fluval 406 I just hooked up a pump to the inlet to prime then disconnected the pump running like a champ

I recently went a couple weeks without power I bought a power inverter and ran my 200 2 55s and a 30 on a small power inverter from my car just unplug the heaters and lights the inverter will take care of the filters and airpumps. I actually took a car off the market I was going to sell so I...

I went and added sponges to my powerheads to give me additional filtration while moving water around can't do anything but make my filtration a little better

I would have to house the sump away from the display like 20ft minimum as there is no room for a 6'x4' sump near my display tank. Although I could ditch the couch in the kids living room lol. The other downside is having to work my way through the crawlspace (12" short in places) to reinforce...

Well looks like according to aqua adviser I am overstocked compared to my filtration but 97% on the tank size alone not bad I guess lol I hope my plants can take care of the 15% of filtration I'm short on. Or maybe I can use the findings to convince the ol lady to let me rig up a massive sump...
