Hey guys! It's been a long time since I've been on the boards but I think I am going to set up my 75gal in my classroom (since its not getting any use in the garage!). Does anyone know if this lamp can be placed on top of the glass and not hung above with those clips...

I've had the same EcoComplete in my tanks since ~2004/2005 and it has been placed in various tanks since (also, I acquired it from someone else.. so I'm not sure how old it really is). I lost all my plants on this last move and I really want to re-establish the tank that has been plantless for...

Thanks for the replies! The light at amazon might work well. The 75gal that I acquired had a really nice ballast, so I was spoiled to being able to grow any type of plant that I wanted. The plants that I'd like are typically low/medium. Thanks again for the reply and the link- I don't think I...

Maybe I should narrow down my question- do I need a halide tube or a fluorescent tube? All the tubes I'm looking out don't really specify if they are good for plants. Is there a number to look for when looking at wattage? They just talk about fish color. I thought I purchased a grow light when I...

I guess I should also mention a few details: - I have a Ehiem canister filter - I don't want to do CO2 at the moment - I'd prefer low- medium grow lights.. something simple but can grow a variety of plants - I have EcoComplete Substrate

Hey guys! It has been a very long time since I've been on AA but ever since I broke down and condensed my 75gal planted into a 29 gallon (and then moved and lost all my fish and plants) I haven't had too many fish related issues. Currently I have a 29 gallon tank with the simple hooded light...

Most of the people that checked the site regularly are people that aren't AA people so they have no clue where the site went. Bummer no one told us

Does anyone know what happened to Feline Advice? It just up and disappeared.

I took apart both filters and they are trying to work (the magnum is actually running now instead of just humming) BUT the intake STILL isn't sucking any water. I checked the tubes and sure enough, the top part was cracked, so I just bought a plastic tube and adapted it to the intake and it...

I primed the Eheim like crazy and still nothing =o/

So I noticed that my filter intake tube was detached from the actual tube and so my filter wasn't running. Apparently this had been going on for a while because when I fixed it and plugged it in, not only did my canister filter (Ehiem pro II) just hum and click but upon further inspection the...

Here is the school logo- I'm thinking maybe I could paint the logo on a poster board (with Navy as the background instead of white) and put that behind the tank and then the red of the fish would really pop. Also, my gravel would be blue and black for that tank. Maybe a large school of...

Thanks An t-iasg ! I'm not completely sure if I will have my own classroom.. right now I will be in one room for 4/7 classes... and in another room for 2... so I still might be able to have a fish tank, it just depends on the teacher I share the classroom with.

Yah, I thought about those, too. Also, dwarf blue gouramies... but I dunno... its not Navy. I'm so anal... I wonder if I were to do a Navy background with the school logo and just red fish? Thanks for the reply Zagz =o) I think cardinal tetras might work better than the tetras- as far as...

So, I got a job teaching HS Biology (sqweeeee!!!) and I plan to set up my 3gal tank and possibly my 29gal. As much as I wanted to go the turtle route, I think fish might be easier for my first year of teaching =o) Anyways, the school colors are Navy and Scarlett (red) and I kinda wanted to have...

My 75gal currently has: 1 Red Tailed Black Shark 4 rummynose tetras (my favs!!) I plan to get that school up to about 10 or 15 6 Harlequin Rasboras 5 Emerald Green cory cats I used to have two angel fish but they passed away.. but I plan to get two more down the road. Also, I had golden barbs...

I would love to take the plants off of your hands, is there anyone I could get just the (im assuming live) plants and I can pay for shipping?

Are you using testing strips that you dip in the tank or a testing kit with test tubes? Testing strips can be VERY inaccurate, so just be careful with those. Water changes aren't too harmful as long as you aren't scrubbing down decor or gravel (thats where the beneficial bacteria grow) or...
