Now that they are getting a little bigger I have counted 5 baby plecos. There may be more. I will post more pics when I get a chance.

I think I corrected it.

That is one of them. They mainly stay on driftwood and blend in too much to take a picture. This one finally stuck to the glass for a couple of minutes.

I have a 30 gal community tank with a mix of tetras and mollies and 2 bristlenose plecos. I first saw one baby near some driftwood. I thought it was a black molly baby but then noticed it was a pleco. I thought it came in a bag of other fish I bought. Then tonight I noticed there were 2 babies...

I have enough Live Rock in tank. I had some live rock rubble from old filter, but not enough to put in the new filter. I might add more chemical filtration. I'm happy with my first G6. The filter cartridge gets clogged very fast , but they are so easy to clean. I don't even have to turn off...

I purchased a fluval G6 for fowlr tank. I have one on a freshwater tank and it works great. My question is about the biological media. I usually use LR rubble in my filter. Should use that in the baskets or the bio media? Maybe a combination of both. Just looking for any suggestions.

I replaced the O-rings on the Quick disconnect and it seems that the xp2 is not leaking. I will keep a close eye on it. If that doesn't work I might just buy a Fluval.

I'm looking for a new canister filter. I have been running Rena XP2 filters on all my tanks for a few years now. One of my filters started leaking water from the cover where the cord comes out. I just want to replace this filter with a different brand. I have seen some good reviews for the...

I live in nassau county and will be going to Montauk for a few days for a mini vacation. I was thinking of going to a good lfs on the way home. Any suugestions? Thanks! Jim

Thanks for all the info! I have them in a 46 gal tank with other smaller cichlids. I keep the water at about 78 with a ph of 7. They seem to be doing quite well. I don't know about breeding though. I only have two and I don't if they are a male and a female. I appreciate the quick response...

I just purchased two Red Point Cichlids and wanted to know more about them. Has anyone ever had them and can tell me their experience with them? Thanks! Jim

Fantail goldfish. Orandas, Lionheads, Ranchus, Pearlscales, etc.

I just had a thought and wanted to get some opinions. Is there something I can put in my filter to buffer the ph? With a sw tank I can put crushed coral in my canister to help buffer the ph. I add ph buffer to make my tank 7.5 when I do water changes. I would be interested in what people put in...

I have a 40 gal with 4 fancy goldfish. I've had the tank for years.

I feed peas to my fancy goldfish. With the shape of their body they sometimes get constipated. I feed them peas occasionally to help prevent constipation.

I was looking through a drsfostersmith and saw an Ecosystem hang on back filter system 40. It is a wet/dry and refugium. I have a 30 gal that has been set up for almost 2 years. I don't have room for a sump , but a hob refugium would be ok. they have a regular one and a pro series. They seem a...

It is my friends tank. He is going to give me a water sample so I can test it. He might have just did the test wrong. When I get the sample I will do all the tests and let you know. He just has a Fish only with Live Rock right now. He is not dosing with calcium. He is adding a marine buffer to...

I am not a member of any aquarium societies but I was thinking of going to the AFISH convention. I might join the Nassau County Aquarium Society. Is anybody going from this site? I live in Nassau County but Riverhead would be a long trip. I just want to know if it is worth the drive. Jim

Just another update. I can't beleve how easy it is to clean the Rena filters. I have 4 tanks and I now have two XP1's and an XP2. I will be buying one more for my 46 gal tank. For the money they are great. They also run so quiet I have to touch them just to make sure they are running. My friend...

I've had my sw tank for a couple of years and my calcium level is 450. I use RO/DI water and Oceanic salt. I helped a friend set up a sw tank 6 months ago. He is using RO/DI water and Oceanic salt. He tested his calcium and he says it is 800. Is that possible? I asked him to give me a sample so...

Just to give you an update. I bought a couple of XP1's for $59 each from big als. They were very easy to set up. I will let you know when it is time for maintenance.

I get this red colored algae on the glass that I have to scrape every few days. I think I am going to buy new bulbs.

I have alot of years of experience with fw tanks but only have my FOWLR tank set up for a year and a half. I normally would wait till my bulb burnt out before changing unless it was a planted tank or the light just looked very dim. I have a Current USA Orbit PowerCompact Light. It has been a...
