The first one is the one got rid of. I actually have one that looks like the second one, but mine takes in a fluorescent strip lamp. I guess they make two versions..I should look into this because I'm using a desk lamp right now for my 10g. My Petsmart only had the fluorescent as well.. I'll get...

I used to have this hood that took in 2 screw bulbs, but I got rid of it because the bulbs always got wet. I thought it was unsafe. You guys keep it wet without problems?

Hey dudes and gals, I have a DIY CO2 setup, and I need to add more sugar. Do you guys dump the old content in the bottle (2L reactor) and add new yeast and sugar or just add sugar to the mixture already in the bottle? Does the yeast in the bottle go bad? I'm thinking I should just add more...

Just use Prime to treat your water. It takes care of ammonia.

Ich Attack is 100% Herbal based on Naphthoquinones. That's what the website says at least. I actually have QuICK cure with me, but it says it's not safe with shrimp. However, I read from some ppl that it doesn't harm the shrimp.. I dont know who's right.

This morning, I found a bunch of white dots on my fish. I've reading about how to treat it for a while now, and I read that Ich Attack by Kordon is safe for fish and plants. Does anyone else have experience with this and know whether it's safe for plants and fish?

Yeah.. I just came back from returning the second one pictured. I hope to get a female in the near future.

I just bought 2 gardneri killifish thinking that I got a pair of a male and a female. I'm looking at photos of them on the Internet, and I'm not sure if I have a female here. The LFS had 4 of these fish, and I picked the most colorful and the least colorful ones. Here are the pictures. What...

Do these tubs have a lid? Also, if I were to put the fish in a container with a lid, can I seal them in for about 1.5 hrs to avoid water splashes in my car?

So, next month, I will be moving to a house that is 90 miles away from my current apartment. I have a 20g long fish tank with 30 lbs of fluorite in it. My main concern is moving the tank itself.. can I leave the gravel in there and move the tank? Has anyone left the gravel inside the...

I've read that most LFS's don't carry these. It's either an LFS or the Internet. The latter cost way too much, though, since you need express shipping. The other option is this person from Aquria Central who sells dario darios for only a few bucks each, so you might wanna try her. She goes...

Wow, that is some serious overkill for that 20g long. AC30 would be enough for a 20g, but an AC50 on top of that??

It would work if you don't have a heavy bioload.

I rinsed the second bag at the sink. I was careful not to let larger pieces fall through the drain. I did it for about hour or a little more, and it was still a little cloudy, but I figured it was about done from what I've read. I now have 2 bags in a 20g long, and the water is pretty cloudy...

No python. Too expensive. I have a syphon with a really long tube that leads to outside of my apt. I used that for my first bag.. it was a really tedious process, and after about an hour of doing it, I think I'll need to do it for another hour!

I would put the flourite in a bucket and drain it in the sink. Unfortunately, I don't have a backyard or access to a water hose outside my apt!

Assuming I won't drop any solid piece of Flourite into the sink, will it be alright to rinse it in there? I've rinsed Flourite inside the tank itself in the past using a syphon, but that is way too much work because I have to constantly fill up the water in the tank with a bucket. It'll be so...

I also had a tough time finding pure ammonia in a bottle. ACE Hardware is the only place that has it around here.

I would not advise anyone to keep a large fish tank in a small room because of the high humidity that will cause molding. Have you seen busted houses where illegal marijuana were grown? These houses literally have to be torn down to their skeleton because everything else is permanently damaged...

I tried to answer all of your questions in the OP. I hate it when I post a couple of questions in one post, and people just write whatever they thought I was asking without actually reading the OP, lol. I also didn't know they were so picky eaters. I figured that they'd just eat flake food...

I have a male-female pair of these. They are not very common at the LFS'; luckly, my LFS sells these. I have come across many threads about people wanting to buy them from someone else on the forum because they couldn't get it locally. Mines are smaller than an inch, and they seem to be more...

This is one of my fears.. because both of my heaters were bought used really cheap.

Nice photos! I live in La Jolla, so I've been there a few times. I wish it was larger though.

Not all Petsmarts are aweful. Just as an LFS can be bad, a Petsmart could be good, too. One I go to is great.

I agree, you don't need plants, but the tank looks just so much better with them. Driftwood is nice, too.
