Purchased brand new and used two months until I upgraded to a larger tank. Curved, bow front glass aquarium with LED lighting and wooden stand. This tank and stand is still like new as it was only used for two months and purchased in April- No cracks, chips. $275 Included: Fish Tank Thermostat...

Thank you both for the advice and suggestions. I certainly don't want him to suffer as he gets too big even for the 200. The pictures of the adults are huge. Have a great week.

Thanks fishanatic...your answer provides all I need to know LOL. Think I will leave the calculator alone. :). At least I understand better

I am new to the hobby and last January decided to get a goldfish bowl since I could not get my 200 gallon dream tank now. Went to the LFS and learned why goldfish bowl is impracticle and decided I would get a smaller tank to "learn and grow up on" before my 200G. In the same day, came home...

My two red tetra minors are Bert and Ernie because they never separate. My first three clown loaches are moe, Larry, and curly because the first day I got them they all got stuck inside a decorative tree ( since removed of course), green tiger barb named Johnny for johnny cash because he is...

I am new to the hobby so I am replying for my own education as well. Several times in this thread folks mention the bubbler with regard to being worried there is enough oxygen in the water. Research I have done has all said bubblers just agitate the surface but don't add oxygen to the water...

If you google tiger barbs and odd numbers you will find a lot of information and theories on why to keep odd numbers. Mainly it is to prevent pairing off and also to ensure one remains at bottom of pecking order which eliminates aggression. It does sound odd but I had an even number and there...

I changed out a third of my gravel with sand using a PVC pipe and it worked fantastic!!! Little to no sandy water but I went very slow. Plan to do another third of the tank in a couple days. I love the look and my loaches already love it.

Thanks library girl..great idea. I will run the new filter on my existing tank before moving it over to the new tank. How long does it have to run to get seeded? After that time should I fill the new tank up with some water from my existing tank (60/40 type mix)?

While I am new to the hobby I have read a ton on barbs because I have them and love them! First I read that they should be kept in odd numbers never even. Also 9 appears to be the magic number. If aggression is seen they suggest adding a few more ( stay in odd numbers) and it should fix the...

New levels! Nitrites down for first time! Okay here are my levels today...first dip in nitrites I have seen! Very exciting but nitrates more elevated now and water cloudy. ph- 7.4 Nitrites-.25 ppm Nitrates-40 ppm Ammonia-.25 :dance::dance::dance: This is good right! Does this mean I am...

I am new to the hobby and started a 50 gallon tank completely wrong about 5 weeks ago. After much reading and fantastic advice from this site I have learned enough to put me in the dangerous category. my 50G is not cycled yet but on its way. I found a great deal on a 75G that i want to cycle...

Thought about putting pictures of my tank on here...think I will pass now. :lol:

I am speechless...I never have seen such a great transformation. Your journal just showed me how much I don't know. Beautiful tank!
