Life demands that give up all my aquarium stuff and I wanted to offer it here first since this was such a great community while I was back into the hobby. Please note that with the exception of the livestock and plants, this is all or nothing, and I can only sell it to you if you are able to...

Yay for PetCo sales! I wasn't even in the market for a new tank. Then they had to go and do it. I'd have preferred a 75 but I couldn't get that up a flight of stairs and through a narrow doorway myself. The 55 wasn't too bad. Equipment; 55g Aqueon Aquaclear 110 Current USA Satellite LED 48-60”...

Life got real busy for a while, so my old thread expired. Just thought I'd stop by and give a little update on the fish I bought from Zimmerman's late last year. One bullhead is still a runt. The others are around 2.5". Growing fairly slow but as of right now their health is immaculate. The...

'Ey guys, Few months ago my main tank was hit by what I suspected to be columnaris. Extremely rapid fin decay (overnight), ulcers, bleeding fins. I treated it with Furan-2 and Kanaplex for 2-4 weeks depending on the fish and it had appeared to go away. I broke down my big tank and gave it a...

Hey guys, I find myself in a bit of a predicament. The place that I ordered my new 75g from doesn't offer delivery... and so I'm tasked with getting the thing into my new second floor apartment by myself. Have friends help, right? Too bad I'm a few thousand miles away from anyone I know! I've...

Hey guys, Instead of spam the other thread, I thought I'd start my own to keep track of my new natives. Hope to keep them from babies all the way to senior citizens, but you never know what life will throw at you next. 10/17/2013 - 3 Ameiurus nebulosus and 2 Erimyzon sucetta arrive from...

At last! Almost two years of nothing locally, and then a batch of these guys showed up. I picked up two of them, might get another two if they're still there next week. I'm pretty sure they are Megalechis picta (was hoping they were thoracata when I first saw them, but I wanted both eventually).

Hey guys, Was wondering if someone has tried anything like this; Take some big alcohol bottles (the one that inspired this idea was Kraken). Cut the bottle so that it's basically a big open topped cylinder. Leave the label on. Seal the outside surface with some kind of aquarium-safe clear...

Anyone kept or bred them? I found a couple for sale locally @25$ each, and given the limited info about them out there I believe they may be a M/F pair. The pictures on google don't do them justice - they were stunning in person and very charming. Didn't seem to bother the more timid fish in...

I've had three fancies for quite a while now, and only one of them has this problem that's got a few different aspects. The first is the usual constipation. I feed sparingly (every 2 days), and mostly used boiled, shelled peas. The second is that he constantly eats air bubbles. He's not...

Sorry if someone has posted this before - but has anyone seen/tried these out yet? Now, I'm not really a fan of Petco, but they sell Prime and are half a block away from my apartment. I hadn't been there for a while, and the other day I found these on the shelf. Seemed kind of cool. I might...

Original thread: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f24/the-new-100g-planted-231595.html Woo, I'm back! ~6 months flies by. I've been very busy at work, so I've pretty much just let the tank "happen" as it may. Haven't removed any plants or added any. Just added a Chocolate. Ran out of...

It's up and running! I moved into a new apartment and I basically used it as an excuse to go from a 56g to this 100g by Deep Sea Aquatics. (The tank + stand + glass lids were only $440 brand new!). Everyone survived the move, plants (the ones I wanted to survive anyways) and snails included...

Hi guys, I’ve run into a leveling problem that I’ve not had to deal with before. The floor is quite literally ‘lumpy’. I’ve leveled tanks that had a uniform slant this way or that, but never had to deal with a floor that had various high and low points in the area. The stand is for a Deep Sea...

Woo, everything is in order! Just waiting for stuff to arrive this week. 100g (60.5x18.5x19.25) Deep Sea Aquatics tank Fluval FX5 Catalina 1x80w T5HO 8 bags of Eco Complete (long story) 30lbs black fluorite gravel 30lbs black fluorite sand Plants: Crypt Wendtii Melon Sword Java Fern Orchid...

Have any of you ever had to float crypts for a while? Or a Sword? I'm presently in the process of moving and need to break down one of my planted tanks a bit in advance so I can make the move all in a day. How long do y'all think I could float a host of Crypt. Wendtii for under a 24w in an...

If there's ever been one fish that I need to have, it's this one. Where can I get one of these magnificent creatures? :eek: I have 5 LFS near me (two of them have a ton of livestock, the others a fair amount), and I've never seen one before. I seem to have trouble getting ahold of the various...

It's me again! I'll make this as short as possible so no one burns their eyes out reading my walls of text. Finally closing in on getting this thing together! To get medium light on the bottom of a tank that is 19 to 24" deep (25-30" after accounting for substrate height + hanging distance)...

Hey guys, I'm about to pull the trigger on the substrate for my new 120g. Ive been all over the net reading opinions and experiences about eco complete. I have the chance to get 10 bags at a reasonable price to combine with 30 lbs of black fluorite and some black fluorite sand. Would you do...

I have an Oranda, about 2", that has been teetering on the side of bloated for the last week or so. I didn't think much of it, and started feeding peas like usual which has always made things better in the past. A few days in, she became extremely bloated, and wasn't moving so I treated her with...

I was going to wait till a year to review these, but I've stopped using them in favor of moving a Fluval 405 onto the tank. The Tank: 40 Breeder PFS substrate 1/3 heavily planted with rotala, wisteria, banana plants, a java fern, wendilov and a melon sword 3 Orandas that have grown to ~3 inches...

I feel like this might be a silly question, and Google isn't helping me find an answer. Have any of you ever intentionally lit a planted tank in a very uneven manner? For example, a MH pendant down at one end, and nothing down at the other on a 36-48" tank. I've been thinking about this all...

So I've gone through a good few substrates for all my planted tanks. I've done; Fluorite PFS "River gravel" Fluorite sand All of my tanks are 2-2.4wpg, and they all get the same ferts. But the PFS has won hands down. The Wendtii and Rotala have done extremely well in it. The Melon sword is...

These are my new babies (not to be confused with fry, my fish are just my replacement for children!) Never thought I'd have a harder time finding common but undesired fish over some of the rarer things I've had. But, after 6+ months of searching, I've expanded my non-pleco catfish family from 3...
