I currently have a 125 gal and a 25 gal tank running...the 25 gal has only Red Cherry Shrimp in it and a ton of snails. I want to transfer all the RCS to the 125 gal without taking any snails with it (since chemicals that kill snails also kill RCS). Then once the 25 gal is snail-free, go back...

That Fish Place is Amazing. It's like an aquarium you pay to walk around in...only you can buy the fish and plants. They really know their stuff too and are very helpful. It's about an hour from me but I am trying to find a good fish store around Reading, Pa. since the most of the stores around...

Well I have finally got my tank back together after it popped apart and I am trying to figure out a dosing strategy. I have worked tirelessly online sifting through dosing advice and information and have just decided to post my questions here. Since I have 125 gal I want to avoid massive water...

They sound like they could be baby snails

is there anything else you can use to dose calcium rather than cc[code]?

That turned out really nice! Make sure you post some pictures of the tank once it's up

I would imagine that the correct epoxy would be better than latex...I just resealed several parts of my tank and when I was trying to find a sealant that wasn't as expensive as Aquarium Sealant I stumbled upon latex sealant which specifically stated on the label "not for aquarium use". I...

Haha, well.... In late october the one corner of my tank popped open overnight causing me to put all my fish and plants into a 35gal. I had already empty and putting about 100 gal of water on my floor (a lot was soaked up by small area rugs). Anyway the pieces of my glass top fell in since the...

I am about to purchase new lights from AH Supply (which has been extremely helpful) and I will be using the 4 X 96 watt setup for my 125gal. I am going to use 2 - 6700 K bulbs but I don't know what two other bulbs I should use them with: 2 - 5500K bulbs or 2 - 10,000K bulbs or 1 - 5500K and...

ok thanks!

Well the one corner of my 125 decided to open and let about 3/4 of the water out ruining my light fixtures and stand (made of particle board) hence forcing me to redo a lot of stuff. I am looking for advise on whether to build a stand out of wood or metal. I would prefer wood and to follow...

ok thanks...i'll post updates as i begin to rebuild and inspect everything

I prefer a CO2 reactor to a CO2 diffuser to get more CO2 into the water since there is more time to diffuse and more surface area

Well due to bad luck, I don't have to worry about lights or plants or anything else right now because the front corner of my tank decided to pull away from the side piece allowing about 100 gal of water to spill onto my floor. The top glass pieces also fell in since the tank was slightly wider...

Opps... I meant that he recommended T-5 fixtures rather than the T-8 fixtures I have now. Sorry about that NoSvOrAx. Ok thanks for the tip...I'll check on it
