I got a new light, and that tape sounds like a great idea. I'll try that out and I have to fix another light somehow... It seems that one of my lights is broken. I haven't had much experience with the corner 5 gallons, but if yours is like mine -- I have an idea for moon lighting as well. :)...

Hey guys, thinking about making a few mods to my Eclipse 3 System hood on my 29 gallon aquarium. They'd be some fairly small mods, and would barely cost anything at all, but could give me a little extra kick in my aquarium. First of all, right now I have gravel in there, and I think I'm going...

I have two Kenyi that are quite young (as seen in the bottom right of the first picture) And the other two are probably either Pseudotropheus socolofi, Pseudotropheus elongatus, or a hybrid of the two.

Here's my 29 gallon, this will pretty much be a grow out tank but I'll always keep a few little cichlids in here as placeholders for some nice viewing in the bedroom. :) The first picture is from today when I added a bunch of rock and then second is to show you one of the more complex spots...

Some Freshwater people live and die by one inch per gallon. Truth be told there's no formula that will work. But I've often heard saltwater is 2 gallons to every inch of fish.

I'm going to school in Winona!

I do like the idea of having two cichlid tanks ;) We'll have a 29 and a 55. The 55 will be the main spot for the breeding. Maybe the 29 can just have the good looking ones of the type not selected to breed. ;)

Best of luck with the begging and whining! ;)

Wonderful combination if you ask me! Enjoy the new fish! Any ideas for the next ones you will add?

Sounds like a very cool setup! What specific kind of gourami and angelfish do you have?

As far as the gouramis I've ever had, they've often been the nicest and calmest in my tank. Their beauty creates a soothing effect as they calmly glide through the water. I'm not sure I would add 1 different kind of gourami (just in case), but adding 2 shouldn't be a problem.

The cost would be a pretty big setback, as well as cleaning the very front of it. As long as you have the space on the bottom why would the sloped front help? I would probably rather have a bow front or hex to get the pleasing design for a small area. Would one of those little 5 or 6 gallons...

Fantastic, I'll stop by these places with all my questions. Hopefully none of them have that "pet store that isn't cleaned enough" smell, right? ;)

Ok, thanks!
