yes, 5 boesmani and 7 Australians. 15 black skirt tetras, 8 giant danios, a blue spot rasbora (was told that's what he is), and miscellaneous other fish I consolidated from 2 tanks. most of the fish came with tanks ive purchased that weren't supposed to come with. so theres a mix of other small...

thanks, top plants are real, bottom ones all fake:( and the only reason that ceramic log is in there is moss is growing on it from another tank im breaking down, and rather than try and take it off I put next to the wood in hopes it will attach itself. but day after I moved it into that tank it...

125 community.

just finished redoing my 125 in the dining room yesterday. going to leave it a few weeks and see if I need to change anything. consolidated from 2 tanks into this one. only live plants in it is the duckweed/water sprite and some moss. not sure the moss will make it, after I moved it seem to turn...

Congrats, theyre so cute. I have one that was given to us few years ago. hes come a long way. Hes quirky, sometimes will stay in the water for days never coming out, to basking days where he`ll sit under the uvb for 6 or 7 hours, then back in the water where he sleeps. Clean water is important...

Andy, thanks, you are correct. Ive thought about those filters alot over the years. Those were great filters with the exception of those tabs.

I remember growing up with dynaflows and silent giants. there was another hob Ive never been able to remember or find a picture of. You had to place 2 plastic strips on top on the hob, and the motor would balance on top of those 2 strips, the impeller was inside at the base of this motor which...

all mine are basic 2x4 builds. They could be prettied up with stain/paint doors and what not. And not the prettiest of pictures. But only serve one purpose to me and thats to hold the tanks. My first one was for a 125 and I used 2 center supports. I then built one for my 150 with just 1...

I used a masonry bit and drilled a hole in a flat rock, tied some bakers twine to it and rubber band the zuchini on it. Every other day I put 2 slices in. They come to it within a few minutes. When the bns wander off the cories all come in and eat whats left of the insides of it.

I have an old tetratec hob on my tilly tank. He always rips the strainers out. One day after he did that with the tetratec i reached in and saw the gasket that connects the 2 tubes together was sitting on bottom of tank. i swear he saw me going right for it as he swam past me fast and ate it:( I...
