The jar: I found a jar approx 12 inches high and 8 inches in diameter in a second hand store. I'm guessing it's maybe 3 (or five?) gallons, I haven't tried measuring yet, I'm testing for leaks and will clean it of soap residue (I've already done this successfully for a smaller jar, so we'll see...

I noticed something that looked like an air bubble that was a bit larger than the rest and was moving erratically under the breeder trap I have in my tank. It was trying to get out from underneath and eventually escaped. On closer look it appeared to be kinda like a tiny silvery tick or perhaps...

It's pink and narrow, and it's gliding along the glass. Approx 1 inch long. The fish are uninterested. What the heck is this thing? I'm not sure whether I can work up the courage to smoosh it and throw it in the trash... probably not a good idea to flush it... I put a pic of it in my gallery.

I have a female ghost shrimp w/eggs which was frantically swimming against the sides of the tank like she wants to get out. I've just done a water change and added iodine (maybe she's freaking out cuz it may trigger her to molt)? I took her out and put her in a separate container (watered it...

I currently have a 10g glass tank. I ordered the Aqueon Economy Full Hood and have decided to use screw in compact fluorescents to light my tank. I have driftwood in the tank that's turning the water brownish, which doesn't bother me, except that I changed lighting and now it looks really...

Well I tore down my ten and 12 g tanks last year to move, and so I'm getting ready to get started again! This time I'm debating between a seaclear 50g and a normal 55g glass tank. The pros of the acrylic are that it's lighter, clearer, and has a smaller footprint. The cons are that it seems...

I apologize if this has been asked previously, I did search the forums first before posting, but did not find answers. I answered an ad in craigslist for a 60g acrylic seaclear tank. When I looked the tank over, I noticed lots of tiny cracks along the edges of the tank, and a two inch patch...

- one used Ebo Jaeger 50W heater - Eco-complete from a ten gallon tank - Flourite from a ten gallon tank - a big chunk of driftwood - a bucket - excel flourish - open bottle I have to get rid of this by morning of Jan 5th!

Hey all, I have a few things that I need to get rid of before I move, I am willing to ship or do pickup. I am in Plano, TX. I have: - a couple of bottles of flourish - one unopened, one partially used - an open bottle of excel, I think used once - a small bottle of prime - a box of flourish...

I tore down and sold off my two tanks, but I forgot to sell the substrate with them :oops: . So I have one bag of each fluorite and ecocomplete if anyone is interested... I had snails, so there are some snail shells mixed in the eco-complete FYI. PM me if interested. I'm in the Dallas, TX area.

I was surfing drs foster smith and noticed the visitherm stealth. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience good/bad re: this heater, and what they think of it in general. I'm always afraid that I'm going to forget to shut off my heater when doing a water change. ..

I debated whether this should go under "equipment" or here... I will take the chance of being tarred and feathered and post here. Anyone ever try one of these? I spotted one on ebay looking at something completely unrelated and had to check it out (wasn't sure if it was for real, sounds kinda...

I'm currently reading "Encyclopedia of Aquarium Plants" and "Aquarium Designs Inspired By Nature" by Peter Hiscock. So now I have it in my head that I would like to do a SE Asian Swamp Biotope, in a ten gallon tank. I haven't gotten it all figured out clearly yet. But I'm thinking the...

I'm not quite sure how he did it. I managed to cut him loose, but there's still a piece stuck to his nose. I think he's still capable of eating, but I would have liked to trim the piece down a bit more, it was kinda hard with him struggling. He seems pretty freaked out, lying in the corner...

I was wondering if anyone here uses RO water for freshwater tank? Do you use straight RO or mix it with tap water? What is your chemical/additive of choice? Someone told me today he used novaqua, others have mentioned "ro right".

I bought some frozen bloodworms today to provide some variation from flake food and dropped a few in my tank. My betta swam up to check it out, looked at it, then ran away! The minnows and the ghost shrimp were going nuts. The ghost shrimp somehow managed to pull the one the betta rejected...

Ok. What's the deal? I've been asking manufacturers of test kits and dechlorinators about the expiration dates of their products. (Just of the ones I have, this is no large scale operation :D) Mostly I heard back that the shelf life of their product is x years (usually somewhere between 3 and...

I'm just doing some troubleshooting with my tank and thought I'd ask. Has anyone had any problems resulting from the tapwater in the area?

"Encyclopedia of Aquarium Plants" by Peter Hiscock. Wish I had this when I started plants! I find it a lot easier to digest than Walstad's book. I had a problem making use of her info, I don't know if it was too technical, or wandered a bit or what. But then my mind wanders a lot and...

I think there's a new guy at the local chain LFS. Aparently he's been in fish for a while, I don't know if he owned an LFS or worked there for a number of years. Anyway I talked to him for a while. The most interesting part of the conversation was when he bragged that he injected O2 and nitrogen...

I was online at their site and saw that they have a 2,000 gallon "touch tank". That's so neat, I wish I could go! Can you imagine having that setup at home? http://www.thatpetplace.com/touchtank/index.html

I've been reading a bit about this to see if anything had changed. Apparently they're still considered hazardous waste since they contain mercury (along with mercury thermometers). Here's one site about it: http://www.mass.gov/dep/files/lamps.htm http://www.mass.gov/dep/files/flampbiz.htm ...
