I actually purchased a mop/hand held steamer and it works well removing water stains from my lid. I think I paid about $130 for it. It came with a couple of scrubber type attachments. Good thing about it is it being chemical free. I also have a battery operated scrubber, kinda looks like...

So here are some photos of my newest guys. They have been in the tank about 4 months, finally got some nice shots of them. They are still nameless.. Think I might start a thread offering suggestions for them. Would that go in the off topic? Hmmm anyhoo... They appreciate the help you...

All done!!! Here is it finally!!! I am probably going to add some more stone at a later date, it is a little thin in some spots. Also in the picture is my new slate cave. The BN Plecos love it. If only they knew what a pain it was to build. Enjoy and thanking everyone so much for the imput.

Ooooh.. Fancy Looking good. Loving the colour of the stand. Geat job. Following this thread.. Keep us posted :thumb:

I think if I had a tank that big I would be broke.. flat broke... Too pauperish to even put water in it....

Welcome to the forum.. I suggest you start here first http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f15/before-getting-started-check-out-these-resources-154837.html Enjoy :)

You could always pre-water the buckets for the following week. At least then they will be about room temp before going in. Make sure you put lids on them as you would not want extra goodies going in the water while they were sitting around.

Just my two cents.. I can not quite see the photos clearly so here is a website you might want to scour. I came across it after the death of my 7 year old Common Pleco, I wanted another pleco.. but there are so many to choose from.. Good luck identifying it Pleco Profiles

Laziness.. I will get there So I started my change out. I decided to go with another form of pebbles.. I found some nice brown coloured ones. The size of them were smaller than the blue ones and I figured it would emilimate the issues with sand in the filter. I removed half of the blue...

I sat there smiling at the tank... Observing the activities... Does that count as doing something with my tank?

Update Just to let you know these guys are still available if anyone is interested.

Can anyone tell from these not so awesome photos whether my fish is egg filled and ready to lay? The fish is considerably larger in the belly than the other Barbs. If so what precautionary measures should I take to ensure healthy breeding? Breeding net, seperation etc.. Advice would be...

I have a 40g tank, I upgraded my 2 HOB filters with a Fluval 306. My tank currently homes 2 goldfish (approx 4") 5 Tiger bards 3 Tetra (Can not remember their names, lemon perhaphs) 2 BN Plecos I checked my tap water (we are on a well), the NitrAtes are 0. This is the first time I have...

Two fairground goldfish approx 4" long, good health, approx 3 years old. Currently homed in a 40g, they need more space than I can currently offer. Indianapolis Indiana local pickup or I can deliver within reason. Never shipped fish before so it is not an option.

Before doing another water change last night Ammonia .25 NitrIes 0 NitrAtes 80 Things are looking better this morning. Ammonia 0 - .25 (Lighter than the .25, but not quite 0) NitItes 0 NitAtes 40 I managed to dig the wheel from my penguin bio filter and one of the sponges. Wheel was...

I am suprised by how fast my levels have spiked. My water softener is currently running (of course) so as soon as that is done I will do a 50% pwc. Thinking this fish keeping game is not my forte......

Ok, new filter installed... Despite mentioning 'When you assemble that honey, pull the black filter out of the old one and cram it in with the new one'....It was in the trash.... No very salvagable... Frig on a frig stick!!..... Ammonia .25 NitItes 0 NitAtes 80 *Blows out air The tank...

It is a 40g currently housing two rather expensive fairground goldfish, three tertra, five tiger barbs and two bn plecos. I shall be checking out the Depot on my next trip.

So maybe more of a scoop up the gravel and push it to one side, put in either some new gravel or sand, give it a week or two, scoop out say a third of the gravel, rescoop remainder to a new heap and more, so on an so fourth until it is all replaced. How long would a good guestimate be for the...

Currently I am using a canister filter as of today... yay me. This is nothing I am doing immediatly but in the next few weeks I would love to achieve this. The blue gravel has run it's course. I really love the look of sand, thanks for the heads up on the height adjustment needed to...

Throwing a random one out there.... Is it possible to change out the substate in an established tank? I have standard gravel in a rather fetching blue colour. After my significant other had filled the tank for me I discovered the 2" thick gravel was causing me issues when it came time to...

Alrighty, I appreciate the swift response! I will just keep a regular check on my tests until the water clears up. Thank you

It has been cloudy for over a week. I read about the bacterial bloom and I am hoping that is all it is. Should clear up on its own. I am concerned with putting my new filter in with this going on. I am normally in the 0 range on my NirAtes and the fact I have levels going on is different...

Ok, 40g tank established 1 year. No new fish. No recent deaths. Ammonia 0 NitrItes 0 NitrAtes 10 Cloudy water. I use two HOB filters. My last 'real' pwc I changed one filter completely and washed the other out in the drained water. Vacuumed the gravel, refilled water. Levels normal...

If the stand / cabinet you are looking at cost $500, why not yellow page a local cabinet maker / furniture maker. Call around, you might be surprised. This way it will wow, and it can be customized to your specs. Having doors instead of drawers would keep that cost down too... Or you could be...
