I just got a third weather loach (golden dojo loach) from Petsmart. I had bought three, well one of them died within 45 minutes of being put in my 55 gallon talk (a new record!). Anyways, I got a refund... the new one I got last night looks practically blind. The other two have bright, black...

I think I finally found the epoxy resin every one is talking about... but does anyone think this would be enough to cover the background for my 29 gallon background? 1.5 pints :) Clear Coat Epoxy Resin

I've come so far, and now I'm just on the epoxy resin part for my 3D background. Can anyone link me a product... cause I've been to Home Depot/Menards and haven't been able to find what in the world I'm supposed to use.

I have an incadescent hood actually... so I have two 13 W (I believe) spiral flourescent incadescents that apparently are "60 W" equivilents - or so I was informed. Anyways, they've grown good plants in the last year I've used them. I have some Red Ludwigia that supposedly needs good lighting...

I have a ten gallon planted (it's for my soon dwarf puffers). I have high intensity light that I added and everything has been growing great for the last month. I also use ferts and have flourite gravel so I feel like I could probably take on something...

Anyone knows a relatively easy to take care of foreground plant? Preferably generally available? I might go back to my LFS and order something, they don't have a lot currently.

Can you measure it for me and tell me how big across it is? My Penguin mini filter totally crapped out... I've been trying for a few days and can't get it to work again (there's no fish in this tank, just plants) I'm wanting to see if I can fit it in a slot for my 10 gallon aquarium, I'm...

Okay, I read an article... sounds like they might be Planaria?

Two weeks ago or so... my brother was trying to catch a rounded snail infestation in our 10 gallon planted tank... so he put a kiwi in there and it accidentally got left in over night. I'll first say that there are NO fish in that tank right now. (and never use a kiwi to catch snails - horrible...

Okay... with this whole DIY background... I've got it all figured out. The pieces fit, concrete is on, have sillicone sealant ready... have read up on everything... but I have NO idea what epoxy resin to use. Can anyone post pictures or link to me to a suggested product? I've gone to like Home...

I think the ship wreck is pretty cute. I don't like those rocks very much either. But you'll want to change as time goes on. Most changes like decorations are pretty easy. In my 55g, I've had the same old same old for almost 3 years and I'm ready for some change. I got to a point where I...

Yes, honestly I think that a Green Puffer would be great, but I don't really want to deal with brackish/marine too much. Maybe when I'm done with school! I'm actually thinking on settling on angelfish. Some may say boring... but I've never owned them and think they are magnificent. I'm...

Oh maybe I answered my own question! I just read in an article that a coat of epoxy over any paint will seal it.

I'm thinking about doing a DIY project with styrofoam/concrete... and am wondering what I should look for as far as safe paint goes if I want to try to make the concrete a more brownish color? Any help or suggestions?
