OK, I have a 55 gallon tank, that I set up about two months ago. I purchased about 6 guppies, and of those 6, 1 survived. I was deployed, my wife was taking care of the tank, so no idea on symptoms. I purchased several bunches of plants, at that time as well. I have since purchased another...

72 gallon bowfront, no lids. Tank only. No cracks, good condition. Make offer. Located on Eglin AFB, near pensacola Fl.

I cant remember the price, but I noticed at Walmart yesterday, they sell 46 gallon bow front aquariums with stands and I dont know what all else.

My wife put a poinsetta garland on top of our canopy. Sorry no pictures yet, anyone else do anything similar or different? Anyone have any pictures?

I know this is lounge material, but just wanted to remind everyone in a half hour Monsterhouse Underwater House is on. Its where they turn a house into a underwater theme. They do a lot of custom stuff if you have never seen the show, the houses always turn out really neat.

If anyones tank is shown on this page, and wants it removed, let me know. I have been collecting pics that have a interesting design in them, or something catches my eye in it i like. All I have posted so far is stand designs that have some aspect that I like...

I just picked up a 72 gallon aquarium bow front by all glass. I plan on building my own stand for it. BTW, I`m in trouble right now for buying it. Me and my wife saw in the thrifty nickel that there was a aquarium yard sale in pennsacola, so she convinced me to go there while she was at work...

I cant find a supplier for southdown or any of the sister companies close by, but am curious, how risky would it be to go out on a friends boat, and just collect some clean sand from the ocean? My tank isnt set up yet, so it would be in there with it to cycle. The beaches here have very nice...

At Lowes and Home Depot, they have the workshop lights that hold 1-4 flourescents. Even have some that have the compacts. Why dont people use these for their aquariums, even with a different reflector if necessary? They have some dual units that are about 20 bucks. Why dont people use these...

I bought a 5.5 all glass aquarium. I want to build it into a nano, I`m confused about the lighting. I bought two sylvania 23w bulbs, because they were on clearance at Lowes, but I`m not sure they will work with what I will need for the tank. Its a scew in type compact flourescent, 23w, but its...

I cant find southdown, old castle, etc. in the area. Looking at quickrete`s website, their pool filter sand is advertised as silica sand, just wondering what the grain size is of this, if this is something that could be used in the aquarium.

What kind of sand quickrete is? It says its a silica sand, is this something you could use for the aquarium? Thats all the MSDS sheet says.

I`ll be moving in 6 months to the UK, but I cant stand coming home everyday to a empty 55 gallon tank. The plan was to set it up as a SW reef, but too much $$ to tear it down so quick. But this will work out better, because it will be a excuse to the wife to get another bigger tank when we get...

I`m not really upset, just more dissapointed. Theres a fish store close to my work. I was really impressed by the livestock quality they had there, and the staff a husband and wife (met the husband, didnt meet the wife till today). The husband told me they would match any online price, and...

Went fishing this weekend with one of the guys I work with. We reeled in all of our lines (except one of his by accident), and started motoring away till we heard the zzzzzinnng of the rod. We stopped and reeled it in, and attatched to the hook was about a 6-8 inch mantis shrimp. I warned him...

Does color matter? I didnt realize it until recently that my 55 gallon tank has black silicone as opposed to clear. Other than color is there any difference between the two? I would like to switch it over to clear if its all the same. :?:

Should I continue with collecting the pieces that I need, powerheads, heaters, skimmer, etc., and use voltage adapters over there, or should I buy the pieces over there, and sell them before I come back, or ? I`m so confused right now.

I`ve wanted a SW reef aquarium since I was a kid, but was never allowed to have one. My parents always told me too much $ and too big of a tank. Finally got married, convinced the wife to let me buy one. Everytime I get ready to buy something, something comes up that needs the money I save...

Just curious if anyone has set up a aquarium with either fish/coral/plants/invertebrates from their local area based on that areas wildlife. Anyone have any pictures if so?

Got a email from OCEA yesterday, the manufacturer of my stand. After all the delay and problems with my lfs who I`ll NEVER go to again, I find out from OCEA that the lfs didnt order the stand for a MONTH after I ordered and payed for it. THAT WAS THE DELAY! They said it was ordered on July...

Understand the idea of the sumps, but its been recommended by some on here to avoid using the bioballs, because they can increase the nitrates. Looking for pictures though of people using sumps without the bio-balls, just live rock, sand, or ? Thanks guys, its a great site, and if I ever get a...

Probably boring you guys to death with this crap, but it lets me vent. Stopped in at the store today, still no stand. Was told begining of the week it would definetely be here today. Keep in mind I have been waiting on the stand since 6/26. Was originally told two weeks. Tried talking to...

Probably a stupid question but does anyone keep sand dollars in their aquarium?

Is this a rare starfish in the aquarium trade? Does anyone know anything about it?

Ordered a Walnut Ocea stand for my 55, on 6/26..........still no freakin stand!!! Now they are telling me thursday or saturday. It is SOOOO frustrating to hear should be here next week, every week!! I`m about ready to give up. Probably should have a while ago, and looked for a new dealer...
