    Ram question?

    ya i never really wanted them but am glad my gf decided on it. i think i was just set on the other rams. the aggression isn't really that bad, i think they just show off when I'm around when the lights are on. did you keep bolivians in groups or paired?

    Ram question?

    if i were to get the angels i would also get a 29 gal as a qt tank and for an angle pair once they have matured. the stand built will fit a 29 gal perfectly underneath the 65 as i am planning on putting an angle pair in there anyway. i also want to take a crack at gold and german rams in the...

    future plans with questions of tank selection for breeding

    going to be moving soon so i can only plan but i got big plans for the new place, can't wait. For now playing with rhino and aqadvisor will have to suffice. plans start with a tall 50 gal and a 29 gal with angles in the 50 and german rams in the 29. maybe if i start with a 50 with a few rams...

    Future tank plans

    for my lighting i plan on using string lighting and cfls, splitting that aluminum dryer vent stuff for a reflector. i know its a lil "grow op ish" but uber cheap and isn't that part of the idea behind diy. part of the reason its all open is to make sure that the cfls dont get it to hot in there.

    DIY Light fixture. Help noob?

    Look into cfl hoods on YouTube much cheaper than t5s http://youtu.be/CzuMWPOVSVs With 3 26watt cfl bulbs (100 watt incandescent replacement) you are at 78watts or a little over 2 watts per gal. If you need more add another bulb if you need less use 4 14watt bulbs and you'll have roughly 1.5...
