awww that's so sad to hear Keegan :( :cry:

Hey guys, Usually at night, one or two of them would scratch themselves against the gravel. I've seen one or two white spots on a couple of my goldies that are much larger than what ich should be so i'm guessing it's not ich because i've seen ich before, this doesn't look like ich to me. Could...

same here xander

ahh ok, thx for the inputs guys. MERRY X-MAS everyone! Heh, do you guys get presents for your fishes yet? I think I'm going to get some tasty treats for my goldies as X-mas present :lol:

Never perfect for me, still learning though.

Hey guys, just wondering how do you guys go about dechlorinate freshly added water when you do your water change. Do you just add tap water straight into the tank first with fishes in there then add dechlorinate chemical? Will this hurt the fishes temporarily? Or do you add dechlorinate chemical...

"The OFX 2000 pumps 950 gallons per hour at 3', 350 gph at 5' and pumps to 6.8'" Keegan, you are so right! It's misleading! I guess the 2000 number is when the head is at ground zero. But from the bottom of my pond to the filter should be around 3.5' to 4 so it's much less than the 950 number...

ok thanks Keegan, i'll check out the links.

that's true tkos, it's not the cost but just plain lazy and impatient :lol:

For me, everytime i got new fishes, I wanted to just go ahead and put the fishes straight into the main tank and enjoy looking at them right away but there is a voice in my head keep telling me to quarantine the new fishes first for at least 2 weeks. So to compromise both the instant...

good idea tkos! what about this method? A lot of plants. Will that work? I have a lot of anachis because they grow like crazy when i put them in a bucket outside, so, i have a lot.

one again thx Keegan! I did further research on the Tetra PF-3 and it says only good for pump up to 1000 GPH but the OFX is 2000 GPH so i guess it will leak and drain the pond because the PF-3 is not pressurized as you said. So I think I might have to go with the Ani Mate 3000 and OFX 2000. I...

Thank you so much angelfishfan for taking your time to explain this. You explained very well. I can see why a pressurized filter is much better now. I think I'll go with pressurized filter instead but should I have to go to the Tetra filter, do you foresee any problem with this combo for this...

wow thx you so much for your fantastic info angelfishfan, much appreciated! can you please clarify this for me, i don't seem to get what you mean by this: "I have seen many occasions on the Tetras where somone got just 50GPH greater than recommended, and they lost so much water, again, because...

Does anyone in here use this filter? I'm thinking of getting this one for my pond but heard a lady at the store said it's really bad. I wonder what is your opinion if you have it. TIA guys.

thx pondmom, my pond is almost done :) so happy i've have decided to go 1000+ instead of 500 hehe :) I can't wait to get it done and get some Koi before christmas :)

so so so so so so impressive!!!

heh thx guys, look like mixed results then

Hey guys, I got a sarasa comet from LFS and one close inspection, it had lost some scale maybe dude to bad bacteria in the water at LFS. It's about 3"; i'm wondering if the scales will grow back as it gets older. TIA guys.

Hey guys, I finally dug up a pond for myself around 500 gal. I'm thinking eventually dirts and debrises will settle at the bottom. How do you guys clean the bottom of your pond? TIA.

try using epoxy or aquarium sealant(caulk)

I'd use BIO-Spira :) That stuff really works!

this had been on my mind for quite some time now, still no decision to buy one yet. BTW ferret, how much does it cost you monthly, electric wise, to run all those tanks LOL

and cuccumber too :)

algae wafers baby! :)
