If you look under 40 Gal. Stand in the DIY forum,you will see one that I built, it can be sized down to anything you want. If anything you might get some ideas with the pictures. If you do make the stand that you have a drawing of I would stick with the 8 2X2's and not 4 2X4's, the stand might...

Well when the power goes out you still need heat and circulation for the tank. For the heat problem go buy foam insulation with at least a 5 rating so that it will save heat 5 times longer than without it. Cut the foam to the size of your tank and then duct tape the foam together. Now when the...

Well I'm glad to see that she's doing better now......hopefuly she's be great for Christmas :D I'll have too look for your other post.

Thaiboxer, I'm glad your fish is ok :) , now back to Goozy's problem. Well the only thing that I can come up with is this, and it might not be what your looking for. If a fish is always pale or only part pale it could be related to a disease, but it could be something simple like unsuitable...

I found this site looking for things on the web. It tells you alot about different sicknesses you can run into. http://www.aquariumpharm.com/publications/aqguide/apc100.htm worth a look, trust me.

Well looks like you have a fun tank to watch, I'm glad that everything worked out for you. I have heard of those flirting female dwarfs, you gotta watch 'em :o

Is there any skin diffrences? How much water do you change each day? Any thing else in the tank?

It's been about a month.....what happened :?:

Well it's been over a month for this post so I guess you already did what you where going to do but to answer your question, the Dwarf might go after the bettas fins unless its a Plakat betta then every thing should be ok.

Well if her fins started to rot I'd say she needs a more frequent water change, other than that I don't know why she's acting like she is.

Brown algae Forms in soft brown clumpy patches. In the freshwater aquarium, these are usually diatoms. Usually indicates a lack of light or an excess of silicates. Increased light levels will usually make it disappear. Easily removed by wiping the glass or siphon vacuuming the affected area...

Hey fishfreek, the link you posted was not to the mag. The mag. is called Freshwater and Marine Aquarium not Aquarium Fish Magizine . The link is http://www.famamagazine.com./ The mag. you talked about is good too. :D

Well , I had alot of wood, alot of drywall screws and nothing to do, then after about 6 beers later it was done. When I was asked to give a drawing of some sort, I laughed, because I just did it on the fly. I went downstairs and tried to do a drawing, but that was no good, the drawing looked...

moer pictures on how to build

Well so much for drawings, what I did was take pictures then draw the lumber sizes on the pictures. You should be able to see how everything went together. Hope this helps, if not give me a ring at bettacare@beer.com and I'll try to help in anyway that I can.

Sure, Give me a few days and I'll make up some drawings. You could use this for any size tank.

Just store it with water and watch the calcium and akalinity and adjusting as necessary. The sand should be good for about 250 years. I got this advise from http://www.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/archive/40/2001/11/2/45762 hope it helps.

This is a picture I thought that I would share, just thought it was neat.

Thanks fishfreek, I forgot to add that you need a hospital tank. Nice catch, you are right, everything else you can say bye bye to if you do it in a main tank. Thanks for catching my flaw.

Well here's the inside from the back, I didn't do anything to the back since I'm going to have all the cords and stuff hanging. I put a power strip in the center. The shelfs are just strips of wood so you can move them around, I had alot of space under the shelfs so I decided that I could put...

Hello targaboy78, It wasn't a typo. The magazine is Freshwater and Marine Aquarium I get it at my local Tops supermarket. WWW.FAMAMAGAZINE.COM. Well in a sense I guess it was a typo it should have been FAMA. 8O

Well I know of a few methods to cure saltwater Ich, Long durations in quinine are often, but not always, successful. Long durations in copper sulfate are more reliable but have to be administered over a considerable period. Once the Ich is gone by looking at the fish continue with the treatment...

I built this myself, just started with some wood I had and in 4 hours this is my creation. I'm buying a 40 gal. this Feb. and was looking around and every stand I saw was $100 or over. So whats a guy to do but DIY !!! :clown:

I just got done reading FMA and I found something great. The article said that the Ghost shrimp will control Ick and other parasites to a certain degree. It's the natural way as they put it. So I went to my LFS and got 8 ghost shrimp for $2.00. The small ones I put in with the tetras and the...

Well I have 2 golds and I did what you said I compared them and it just dosn't seem to fit. I can see where you are coming from but the head shape is all wrong. Not that your not right , just my observation.
