Okay so I decided on something different and had to return my rainbows to the store because they were too aggressive. The tank still seems empty... So I was thinking maybe 4 more angels and a 2-4 more Roselines, and yoyos OR a school of Penguin tetras. Currently stocked with 4 angels (2...

Yea, I thought about that, but I still wanted to get the most out of the filters. I went ahead and drilled holes and it did slow the velocity down quite a bit. Now I'm going to see how food and wastes travel throughout the tank.

Yea I am thinking I may need more fish to fill the tank. But Angels and rainbows get pretty large. I was debating on getting more Yoyos but I am afraid they might bother the rams to much. so I was thinking about 6 angels, 10 rainbows, 5 rams, 1 yoyo, 1 bristlenose (might be another type of...

I have two Rena xp3 on my F.W. 120 gallon and need to reduce the flow because the current is going to be to strong for my future angelfish. I have a question on how should I position the outlets? Right now I have one horizontal spraybar and inlet on both ends of the tanks. Right now one spray...

I was looking at denison barbs early and would love to get some, but they are quite pricey.

Awesome thanks for the ideas. Also wondering are there different types of angelfish? I know their colors vary and everywhere I go they all look the same, but online there are different color

So I moved a few months ago and started fresh on my tank. Sadly I had to return all my fish to the LFS since I moved 4 hours away. Now that it is cycled I am debating on what I want to get. I have a 120 gallon that has mostly large rocks on one end and open space on the other. Right now I...

OKie dokes, last question for this thread. Got my two XP3s... Now, where do I place both intake and output tubes? Both intakes on one end and both outputs on the other? An intake and output on both ends of the tank? Or both outputs on the ends and both intakes in the middle, or vice versa...

the tank is 60x26x18, sort of kind of deep... So far the things that will be fixed/changed.... More substrate (not nearly deep enough) Cleaning of the algae issue replace HOBs with cannister filters to reduce water splash and loss of CO2 Daily dosing of Excel Possible additional light fixture...

surprisingly, of the 15 fish I got from walmart, only one died... The rest are all growing like crazy though! My tiger barbs were probably less than a cm long when i got them and now half of them are 2 inches! The sharks are slowly growing, but eventually I will take them back to a LFS. I...

I think I might stick with just the bulbs I have in that case, more light equals more co2 needed and since I am not using a co2 system, but dosing with excel I probably do not need more light. I think what I my try to do is get a raised portion of the tank (ie some kind of decor to make a flat...

Well that is good to know! So no sand and gravel mix. About how many more t5 bulbs should i get? 2 or 4 more at the same wattage?

I am sort of new to the planted aquarium scene and have been trying to get plants to grow, mostly just swords, some bacopa, and another plant I cannot remember the name.... Anyways I have a few questions... I have a 120 long with two rena xp3s and the tank is sort of heavily stocked with fish...

My cories liked to hide in there... I have 5 cories and only seen 3 for the past three months.... Then I decided to clean up the java moss and was surprised to find out I still had 5 cories!

So I have been looking around for the rena XP3s, and was wondering if anyone knows. There seems to be two different xp3 models. They both handle the same but their boxes and prices are different. Anyone have ideas?

I have always wondered this... Are customers allowed to get the fish themselves at walmart? I asked someone to help me out and he said hold on let me get someone.... 30 minutes later he came back to see if I was helped... NOPE! Then we went away again and came back 20 minutes later and just...

Thanks guys! I'd do a sump, but I have no room for it whereas the cannister filters will fit in the cabinets. Yea I think I am going to go with two cannisters for the back up depending on how funds go this summer i might get an xp3 and and xp4... cheaper than fluval i hope at least. There...

I know this is a dumb thread to post, but I cannot find too many opinions about it. I have a 120 gal and wanting to replace my AC70 HOB filters because there is just to much sunlight in my place and I cannot get a canopy to work with those filters because they have to be placed on the sides...

Hey guys, So I am trying to get all the items I need for my new aquarium and just have a few questions. I am trying to stay as low budget as possible for a 120 gallon tank. I have two aquaclear HOB 50-70 filters already. Would I need one more or would that be plenty? What would you guys...

Hey, So I have found my tank and stand for $250. It is a 120 gallon that is 60x18x26H not quite what I was looking for but its close enough for a good deal. Now my question is, would I be able to create a wet/dry sump tank with an old 20 gallon tank or would that be too small. And When I...

I suppose I have not seen balas full grown... What are the cost of HOB vs cannister vs sump?

Hello, So I am aquarium shopping for a larger tank that most likely will not be purchased until at least 8 months from now. I do have a few questions What you guys may recommend for filtration of a 120 gallon tank that is 48 x 24 x 25, hang on the back filtration or a sump tank? Would...

It def looks like ich to me, but a much more severe form or something. They have white spots on them, but they are larger than sand grained and no clumped together. The fish have also lost their colors and look really slimy, and their scales looks like they are protruding out a little. Does...

Hey, thanks for the welcome. Everyone here seems pretty friendly. I have taken the time and read about Bala Sharks. I plan on getting a 125 gallon tank after I move in the summer. I don't at least I hope they won't grow that fast. I just love them soooooooo much. They are funny guys.

So I decided to join this forum after reading around. I have had fish a few years back and decided to get back into it about 3 months ago. Right now I have a FW 20 gallon high hospital tank, it wasn't one before and really not sure if the fish (3 clown barbs) are going to make it. :( I...
