    Quotes from a newbie

    Hey all. Here's the history of my girlfriend's first experience with a tank.. Week 1 "That's nice honey. It's really pretty." Week 5 "What was that? You say there's algae on the plants? I think it's cool. It looks autumnal." Week 7 "OK, yeah. Now I can see the algae." Week 9...

    Fogger

    I'm looking at setting up my 15 high with fish and fiddler crabs. The tank will only be about 2/3 full with water. I want to install a fogger, but from what I've seen before, the best results (producing a low-lying fog) come from having an air-tight tank with a fan blowing down. Any one else...

    Angelfish vs. Discus. Can they breed??

    Yeah, nothing's happening as far as the discus attempting to fertilize. Thanks for the help though!!!

    Angelfish vs. Discus. Can they breed??

    But if the discus is a male, is it a possibility?

    Angelfish vs. Discus. Can they breed??

    Here's the deal folks. Gees I'm excited. Might be for nothing though. That's where you guys come in. Can a discus successfully fertilize angelfish eggs? Angel's been in the tank for about a year and a half now, with no other angels in the tank. Well, for about the last six weeks, she's...

    fish hovering around surface -- trouble ahead???

    You tested your nitrite, but did you test your nitrate? You shouldn't be over 40.

    Tire Track Eels

    I had one a long time ago. He never really bothered anyone. I had a community tank with tetras and livebearers at the time. They usually hang on the bottom most of time, and will even burrow in the gravel. HTH

    Gravel to sand: Can it be done? Critique my plan!!

    Just going off of what I've heard. I've got TMS. Maybe that's the difference? I followed this rule in my 2 tanks that have it, and it's perfect. I do like my substrate slightly deeper than others, but not that much.

    Gravel to sand: Can it be done? Critique my plan!!

    This is though, if you want your sand to be the same depth as your gravel, you'll have to go double the weight. 55lbs won't cut it. You're prolly looking at least 100lbs.

    Betta question

    Yes, cories are a good idea as well as snails. I've also heard it's about a 50/50 chance with shrimp. Being a ten gallon, I would also definately not try tetras or a female. I second An t-iasg. If you want to attempt it anyway, yes, make sure you have a backup plan. I have succesfully kept...

    New to AA and I have a new bumblebee gory.

    I've got bumblebees, and they're not in a brackish tank. Yes, I do have some salt in there for them, but not enough to consider it brackish. Just the recommended dosage on the container. They've been doing well for the last six months. Just thought I'd share. Every one has fish that are...

    Lighting, Lighting, Lighting

    Well, I found what I was loking for. I'm using the Life-Glo 2 bulb with a blue actinic bulb. It's put out by a company called Nova, and it's a self-contained kit. Just a slim T5 light in it's own housing. I just slid my original hood forward, and put the actinic in back. Blacked out the top...

    OK, so I picked up the 50/50 tonight with the understanding I can return it if it doesn't fit my needs. It's good for the most part. The color spectrum is good, but I lost some of the brightness I had with the Life-Glo 2. It is much crisper though. OK, more thoughts. I'll be at a place...

    Thanks for the info on the 50/50 TG. Yes, I've got a single 48" NO, and I'm not looking to convert to PC. Just keeping it the standard bulb.

    Angel / Tetra compatibility

    I've seen it done before. But they were only average sized Angels, and quite large neons. Try a couple neons and see what happens before you buy an entire school of 'em. Neons can be just a touchy as cardinals too. Depends on their condition when you get 'em.

    OK, bear with me here. On my 55, I had the stock All-Glass light for quite some time. They've got that slight purple tint to them, and I wanted something better. So I picked up the Life-Glo 2 bulb from Hagen that's rated at I think 6700K. It's really nice, much whiter, but my fish look a...

    Gourami Question

    I had an opaline that had that happen, and yes. It grew back. I don't recall how long it took, but my guy didn't seem to upset about it either.

    Angelfish Stripes Darkening.

    I completely agree with the stress factor. I've seen it a lot. As a side note, my buddy's got an angel that's quite the color changer. This guy is very similar to what he has. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?pCatId=1178 He will go from having his stripes completely...

    m4p to mp3?

    Yep. I've used Easy CD Creator, MP3 maker, and those CD's will even play on my home stereo, and in my car. As long as you select burn an audio CD, it'll be just and only that. Not sure which format it converts to once it's audio, but I've never had a prob. It's a little time consuming, but...

    m4p to mp3?

    You've got the option in iTunes to burn an audio CD. Do this. Then, take that audio CD into another (different) CD program. It's an audio CD, and the program will simply see it as that. Rip and convert to MP3. I use CD-RW so I don't waste a CD each time. HTH.

    Hyrbid or not? AKA name that fish

    As aggressive as the regs? Yeah, I guess. I haven't had any I would consider "agressive", but they are known to be slightly ornery. I've got one that's a chaser, but that's it. But yes, they would have the same temperament that the regular-finned ones do.
