We went to the store & got 2 false perculas on saturday. Here are a few pictures after we got them home. Here are a couple of pics of our 100g also.

do I need a ph in our qt or is the biowheel ok by itself? we are going tomorrow to pick up a fish & I was just trying to find out if I need to pick up an extra ph while I'm there. thanks

My fiance called me tonight (I'm at work) and said the NH3 & NO2 are both at 0 on the qt & main. The NO3 was 40 on the qt & 60 on the 100g. They started dropping pretty good a week & a half ago, we have been checking it every 3 or 4 days since. We won't be able to go shopping until...

We are shopping for our fish list, trying to find out where we can get the best deal. What is the difference in where the fish is from? Here is an example, one fish is $8.99 & the other is $24.99. What is the difference? I have noticed the same in quite a few different fish...

the ph in our 20 gallon qt has been 8.8 the last 5 days....it has been 8.3 to 8.4 since it started cycling on the 9th of this month. What do I need to do to get it back down? The ph in our 100g has been right at 8.2 since it started cycling at the same time. Any suggestions? thanks guys

We started cycling our 100g & 20g qt on the 9th. I only had a whisper filter for the qt when we started....well today I just got in another order from drsfosters & my penguin was in it. Can I just put the wheel in either tank now & start getting it seeded, or should I wait until one is done...

Looking at getting this for our 100g. I know that it only comes with 2x65w Dual Daylight and 2x65w Dual Actinic for a total of 260 watts. They make 96w & 130w bulbs...would it be a problem to buy higher watt bulbs to get more lights than the 65w bulbs? If we didn't get the higher watt bulbs...

Our tank is in process of cycling & I'm not sure I like how the aquascaping. Right now we have the same exact amount of space in front of the rock as we do behind the rock. It's centered perfectly. I like how we have it stacked, just not how we don't have "a lot" of room in the front of the...

I've read so much about overflow boxes tonight that my head hurts.....what is your opinion on the best one to use? I have a 100g tank, sump is going to be 20 or 25g. What size pump would you all suggest on the return? At the most 5 feet. Thanks jonathon

Three days ago I was at work & my fiance called me & said she thought it was Christmas or something because DHL dropped off 2 big boxes & FedEx dropped off 7 boxes. I was pretty happy since on both sites it said it wouldn't be in until the first of next week. So we have spent the last 2 days...

We are finally getting started buying stuff for the tank to get it started. The tank is a 100g measuring 60Lx16Wx24T. In our shopping cart at DrFosterSmith.com we have: 6 30lb bags of sand Refractometer Salt 400 watt heater Digital thermometer 2 SEIO pump M 1100 OceanMaster test kit We are...

Has anyone seen any of the play sand around lately or know where to get it? We are looking to buy about 200lbs.

I've been looking around at new aquariums & stands & I started looking for home made stands. Has anyone made one for themselves or know someone that has? I found a couple of sites that have plans & stuff. My dad has a full shop behind their house & he can build pretty much anything, & I have...

I've been pretty busy lately, but I've been trying to clean out the 100g used aquarium I got a few weeks ago. As some of you know it has a problem with hard water stains. I've cleaned, and cleaned, & cleaned & can not get rid of the white haze. I've tried numerous tricks & suggestions from...

I've started cleaning the 100g, that I bought used, with vinegar & hot water. It's not too bad to get the green stuff off, but after the green stuff comes off there is a white looking haze (sorry for the crappy description) that seems like it won't come off. I can wipe it off, but when the...

it's set up as a freshwater tank now. what type of questions should I ask them before I buy it? thanks for the help.

I've been reading the forums for the last few weeks & have a few questions. I'm planning on starting a 30 gallon FOWLR. I want a bigger tank, but we are in the market for buying a new house with in the next year. And I think it would be easier to move a 30g than a 100 or larger gallon...
