    For Sale: 2 - 55 Gallon tanks plus filters/etc. with 1 stand

    I have 2 - 55 gallon tanks for sale plus extras including 3 HOB filters with about 200 gallons of filter capacity in total. Plus I have 2 fluval canister filters(305 and 405 I believe).

    90 gallon build...with water!

    It begins with the epic failure of the 75 gallon(planted for a week): I scoured craigslist for a tank and found a 90 gal with a stand and canopy plus an HOB and canister filter needing a motor. First thing(after cleaning tank of course) was to tear apart my Odyssea fixture, which...

    Just starting? Make sure you have the following:

    A wet/dry shop vac. Many do, but I'm sure there are a few that do not. Here is the reason: What would you do if you had no shop vac and instantaneously had 75 gallons of water pooled on your floor? Just something to think about(paper towels don't cut it lol). It's something that most...

    Aquarium water and septic

    I hope this is in the right area.... :ermm: My house uses a solid holding tank/sand mound as a septic system. I normally try to dump aquarium water outside or into a rain barrel for watering grass. Do you think the beneficial bacteria that are removed when cleaning gravel/etc would have a...

    For Sale: 75 or 55 Gallon Tank

    I have a 55gal and 75gal. One is for sale. The 55gal is less than a year old(maybe 8 months). It has black trim and comes with black metal stand. The 75gal says it was build in 04 as per sticker. I picked it up on craigslist a short time ago, cleaned it, but haven't set it up yet. I did...

    Can't we all just get along...

    One of the larger Clowns decided to take a nap on the Lobster :huh: He was there for at least a half an hour. I guess he finally realized how well the shape of the lobster works as a bed :lol: The RTS decided to join the napfest as well...

    75 Gallon Planted build w/sump

    My 55 gallon is becoming too small for my Clown Loaches, so it's time to upgrade. I was searching Craigslist for a 110 gallon, but could not find one reasonably priced. I came across a 75 gallon with a homemade log stand(I live in log cabin, so it matches perfectly.) With the tank came a...
