    Goby ID, that's if its even a Goby?

    Thanks for posting your educated guesses fellas, looks like Leonardo7689 wins the internet prize of the day, it is indeed a "Darter" but it's difficult locking down which species of Darter it is because many look so much alike and differ slightly depending on where located and their environment...

    Goby ID, that's if its even a Goby?

    I got this little fella from TLFS, the employees hadn't noticed the guy mixed in baby Weather/Dojo loaches and they had no clue what it is and after much Googling Im still clueless??? Anyone have an idea what this little guy is, he's bold and interested in every goings on in the tank and is a...

    How much flow is to much?

    Every product with out put usually over rated but 60-75% of listed flow does surprise me a bit. 1500 it is but I'm still going to do more review reading on this CF before I pull the trigger, when I have time. Thx

    recommendation for air pump

    You will not regret your purchase. With my Q1 I hooked each outlet hose to a dual inlet 5 way gang valve and it's powering x2-20L RCS tanks and x3-10G guppy breeding tanks with sponge filters, no lack of bubbles in any of them. :thumb:

    How much flow is to much?

    Some may say get a Fluval 306-406 etc but I'm trying to keep on a budget if possible. I have a 60g aquarium (same measurements as a 55L just a few inches taller) and plan to stock in with 2 dozen various Rainbows, plecs and corys that are currently in a holding tank. Anyway after many hours of...

    recommendation for air pump

    My .02 The best bang for the buck is the Fluval Q pumps, I highly recommend them. I have a Q1 and a Q2 and both are very quiet, powerful and rebuildable with a inexpensive parts kit when the time comes. My Q1 is 2yrs old and still works like a champion.

    Which gang valves are better long term?

    I like these (4-way Accuair) and have been using them for over 1 yr with no probs, anything I should consider with the chrome plated brass ones other than the obvious "metal will last longer" but, will it seal long term better?? If anyone can suggest something even better plz do, Thx J.

    Please help me Identify this plant

    You know what, I failed to mention this is a floating plant and I think it came in with some Frogbit I bought, I never noticed it all because it was very small when received but it's much larger now, leaves are 3"-3.5" long.

    Please help me Identify this plant

    I bought some frogbit 6-7 months ago and noticed this plant in with them just recently, it was very small when I first seen it but is has been growing very fast. It doesn't float entirely like frogbit, lower parts of the stems are under the waterline and grows plantlets from the knooks of the...

    CO2 Question

    This is all the auction pages say about the tablets. Did a quick Google search for CO2 tabs but didn't come up with much, was pretty much what has already been said here, just suggestions for other avenues to introduce CO2 into the tank. Features:This product adopts the latest formula, no...
