    For Sale: Pittsburgh:Getting out of hobby sale (55,20,10 gallon tanks, filters, tons of plants)

    Yeah yeah yeah I'm here. Sorry I've been extremely busy the past couple days/week. I have someone coming to buy the 20 tonight, and I have someone interested in the 55 OR the 10. The ferts I'm willing to ship now, as long as you pay shipping. I think they go to whoever called them first...

    For Sale: Pittsburgh:Getting out of hobby sale (55,20,10 gallon tanks, filters, tons of plants)

    Let me go take some pics. I only really have one REAL sponge filter, but it's not a great one or anything. I think it was only 8 bucks or something at the LFS. I think the clear one is an OLD box filter. You could shove some filter floss in it. You pay for shipping and I'll give em to ya...

    If no one comes to get it in the next couple days, I'll think about it. However, you'd pay shipping, and I'm guessing it wouldn't be cheap, as it'd have to be packed REALLY well.

    Uh, I could go.... 20 For the tank + whatever's inside 15 for the filter Fluval C2 15 for the api master + phosphate test + hardness tests 40 for all of the ferts? That includes all of the liquid stuff and alkaline buffer, acid buffer, and equilibrium if you want them. (Big bottles of...

    Think I'm getting out of the hobby...

    Check the classifieds thread up above, I edited the post. Oh and the kind of snails that you don't want. ;-) I'm guessing simple pond snails, they don't get that big, maybe a cm diameter for the biggest one.

    For Sale: Pittsburgh:Getting out of hobby sale (55,20,10 gallon tanks, filters, tons of plants)

    The thing is, I really don't want to rip up the tank just to sell it. There are still fish in it and I'd feel bad, but if it doesn't sell for a while and I get desperate, I'll let ya know.

    For Sale: Pittsburgh:Getting out of hobby sale (55,20,10 gallon tanks, filters, tons of plants)

    Hey guys, I'm getting out of the hobby. Here's the list of things I want to sell. I'm doing this by memory, so if I missed anything that I should have as a responsible fish keeper, let me know. Big things: (Local pickup/meetup only) 55 Gallon tank $40 20 Gallon tank $40 takes tank and...

    Think I'm getting out of the hobby...

    Hey guys, long time no talk. I think the time has come for my time with aquariums to end. I just don't enjoy it anymore. I don't want to do the water changes, I'm sick of cleaning tanks (even though they didn't get that dirty), and I just don't want to do it any more. Plus, I'm not going...

    Float Valve + Solenoid Suggestion?

    Hey guys, long time no post. Need some advice. I have an RO/DI unit, but I conveniently forget to check it/shut it off when it's done, so it (often) overflows onto my basement floor. (No carpet thankfully). I'm getting really sick of either A. Watching it all the time, or B. Cleaning up the...

    Feedback on Lighting idea please?

    Thanks jsoong, just the input I was looking for. I'll look into the linear CFLs. I was already planning on painting the inside white. And hmmm, I should really wire it to code shouldn't I? Eh, I've seen those linear CFLs. The only problem (if I'm looking at the right ones), is that I...

    Feedback on Lighting idea please?

    Meh, I learned my lesson last time. I left 2 inches at the back of the aquarium for all of the stuff. I'll probably cover it with screen or somethin. :p It's easier to just leave room than to try to cut holes for everything. What happens if you change filters and you have a hood cut out for...

    Is my neighbor on drugs?

    As a non-homeowner, I'd have to agree with mgamer on this one. Maybe something happened that he had to leave? If the houses are that close, how else could he have aired it out? I mean yes, he should have notified you, but just because he underestimated the fumes coming from the fiberglass...

    Why do my fish get really skinny?

    Hey guys, I recently had 2 danios and a bloodfin die. All three of them got REALLY skinny. They'd eat just fine, and they were all very active. I just woke up one day and found the to danios dead sucked into the filter, and one day the bloodfin was just floating, so I know they didn't get...

    DIY Fish Tank Ornaments - Questions...

    I'd be warry of rocks from the "Craft Store". If anything, go to a river and find rocks yourself. (Then test with vinegar, soak in water for a while to make sure it doesn't change the pH etc.) People do use what's actually called "Pea Gravel" in aquariums. It comes in many sizes from smaller...

    Feedback on Lighting idea please?

    Hey guys. So, since I've set up the new tank, it's time for a new hood. Here's what I'm planning for light. This is for a planted tank, and I don't necessarily plan on using ALL of them, as I'm not sure how much light I need. Right now with the bulbs I have, it'd be 6 (or 7) x 12W = 72W over...

    About to throw in the towel against BGA

    You could always take a water sample to a mom and pop place to get it tested. My shop uses API master kits to check their water, and if you ask nicely, they'll check your water too. :D

    About to throw in the towel against BGA

    I feel for ya. I just gave up on my BGA fight. If you'll search, you'll find a few of my threads. If I were you, I'd do a full tank cleaning, take everything out, scrub the rocks, vacuum the heck out of the gravel, try to manually remove everything from the plants, then do a combination of...

    Excel safe Aquarium Plants?

    Hey guys, what plants aren't safe to use with excel. I've heard (and experienced) that anarcharis melts with excel, as do vals. Any other plants I shouldn't buy? Thanks.

    What is the black stuff that holds a frame on a tank?

    Thanks guys, just thought I'd ask before I went along with the plan. I'm gunna use the black silicon to "glue" the frame on, and the GE1 to actually seal the tank.

    Our Power Company Says: Our Water Filter Can Give Off Electromagnetic Radiation.

    Guys, let me put this to rest. I worked with environmental radioactive samples. Even working in those situations for 50 some years, your life expectancy is only like a day less. You can get exposed to plenty of radiation a day and not lose any sleep over it. How much do you think you're...
