I've been wanting to do a paludarium for a long time. I ran a trial with a ZooMed 18x18x36 that went really well, so I had the LFS order me a custom size pal. 24x36x37 : water depth 12" (approx 44 gal) Drilled in the rear corners, connected to an FX4 that's routed through custom PVC pipe to my...

I've been working on this (very) slowly for over a year. I finally got everything together and had the means and time to do it. Substrate: ADA PowerSand, Amazonia Lights: MicMol G3 Pro Hardscape: Acid-washed Black Seiryu stone Still planning out which plants and fish I want.

Still in the just-built stage. Going to do a dry start to get the carpet in, probably. Seiryu stone washed in HCl acid. ADA Amazonia II

Brainstorming and planning a sump for my 150g freshwater planted tank rebuild (yet to be started, but the tank's torn down at the moment). I'm worried about flooding the house, mainly because I want to have the return line send water down to the bottom of the tank to help with flow distribution...

Managed to snag 4 of these great little Apistos at a local auction in November. Decided I'd try a biotope, so researched the heck out of their native range. I'm on the right track; not perfect. I really would like to have some plants in this tank, but I can't find much to suggest that there...

I'm planning a project for my 150g planted tank for the winter. I'm scrapping the old depleted dirt tank strategy and I'd like to do either an iwagumi or nature aquarium. My LFS was able to get me Dragon Stone, but they said that they've had trouble finding other types used in the Japanese...

65 High-Tech Build I trashed my 65 low-tech last fall and spent the winter planning, plotting, and building. The tank's finally looking decent, so it's time to share my utterly novice adventure in plumbing and construction. I've been in the hobby for 6 years and have built several tanks of...

I got bored, decided to gut my 65 low-tech and start over from scratch. About time I tried to apply the last 5 years' worth of learning and experience. It has been a *slow* build. Started ordering rocks back in May, and I just now got what I need to do what I want to do. Now that I know how...

Recently trimmed, so not quite as impressive as usual with the red ludwigia on the left side, but it's coming along. I've done some fairly recent shuffles and moving about, adding new harder-to-find plants, getting rid of stuff with algae or performance issues. 150 gal LED lights from...

Bought these tagged as "panther danios." They don't really match what I can find online. They're great, gorgeous and lively. Just not sure what I've got! (I know the one in the background is a leopard danio.) :)

Short version of the story: ordered a batch of Emperors last summer (June), all of which died in quarantine at the LFS. Images attached are what was on them. Distributor was unable to help, LFS unable to pay for a vet to diagnose. Decided to try again this year. Got 5 from the store...
