Anybody replacing filstar micro filter pads with something cheaper? I have floss in there now but am looking for a pad of some sort.

I have two 50's on my 26gal bowfront. I use sponge and ceramic in first one and all ceramic in the second one. Love those filters.

I agree about transfering filter media to aquaclear and adding new if you have extra room. I love aquaclear filters over any other HOB.

Will a 2.5 gal HOB refugium on a 29 gal FW lightly planted tank help my nitrate problem? I have a heavy bio load. 8 platys, 6 small albino cats, 2 zebras, 3 blk mollies, 8 neons.

Odessa Barbs I only have the barbs in my tank 2 days so far but everything looks calm so far. Just a note, the barbs I bought are small. 2 male and 3 female.

I have a 29 gal some live and some plastic plants. Have 4 small cory cats and 4 small dino zebras. Just brought home 5 odessa barbs ( about 1.5 in) How long till I can add several more odessa? Thanks---

Thanks for the info. Just what I thought.

Just moved to Ohio and have very hard water. Tested GH 250-300. Will Cardinal tetras adjust to this? I know most of these fish are wild caught and come from soft water areas. What kind of softing pads can I use? Thanks for any ideas.

Sorry, just sold it.

Yep---- dwarf rainbows. They get to a max of 2.5". I was thinking 6-8 rainbows and about 10-12 cardinal tetras. You think black gravel is the way to go?

Well after lots of input from this sight I am going with a group of neon rainbows and cardinal tetras. Mix of real and plastic plants, driftwood and maybe a rock or two. I'm thinking black gravel or something very dark to show up the fish. How many of each fish and should I put all rainbow males...

Anybody have experience with different types of gravel for neon tetras and neon rainbows? Light or dark gravel?

Do the neons school? what kind and how big are the rainbows?

Setting up a 29 gal tank to keep large school of tiger barbs. I have heard putting a yellow labid in with them will keep them in check. Is this true and would I put a male or female in. How many barbs can I keep in a 29 gal. Thanks:)

Thanks for the advise. I'll give it some thought..

Anyone have experience mixing a school of neon tetras and several Rainbows together in a 29 gal tank?

Angels purchased small won't bother neons when they get big?

Thanks for all your ideas. Think I'll go with a few angels. What can I put with them that won't get harassed.

I might just go with a few large fish. I know 29 gal limits max size of the fish. Thought silver dollars or a few angels and forget the neons.

Hi--- Setting up a 29 gal tank. I'm looking for ideas on keeping a few large fish with a school of about a dozen neons. I would like about 3 or 4 medium to large fish with the neons. Any suggestions. Thanks

:)I have a Aquapod 24 HQI for sale. Brand New in Box for $299 firm. Retails for $400. Don't have time to set up my mini reef right now. I am in the Columbus Ohio area and would arrange pickup.

Setting up 29 gal fresh water tank. Don't know what I will stock with yet. Any experience with either of these canister filters? Thanks:D

I have a AP 24 which is 17.5"deep sitting on a 3/4" piece of plywood the same size. My aquarium stand is 14" deep. Is it ok the plywood and tank overhangs on the back of the stand by 3 1/2" ? Thanks for any advise before I fill the tank.

thank you---

Thanks--- If you had to pick one to start with---which one?
