I have been in the market for a bigger home for my 2 Oscars. I still had a while as they are in a 75 Gallon and are only 4 inches or so long but I couldn't resist keeping an eye out for a steal on the internet. Well, I feel I found that steal late last week. I saw a 125 gallon tank with stand...

So I was browsing craigslist today and ran across this tank. 180 GALLON CUSTOM ACRYLIC CORNER AQUARIUM SETUP LIKE NEW I saw recently someone on here was doing a corner tank similar to this. I am absolutely in awe of this tank. I don't have the funds to do salt water yet but was in awe of...

I have been wanting to build a stand for quite some time now for my 75 gallon I've had for about three years. I have just inherited a second 75 gallon from a friend of mine for FREE. So before I set it up I figured it was time to make a good stand for it. So far, I only have the skeleton of...

The brand probably has nothing to do with it but the filter is the HOB type. This morning when I turned it off to feed my fish, when i turned it back on it didnt' do anything. It is a couple of years old but it is probably dead for good correct??? I just wanted confirmation before I went out...

I was at an LFS is Green Bay, WI on friday for the first time. I've heard many good things about it and I was amazed when I got there how nice it was for it's small size. Well I saw a royal pleco in one of their tanks and fell in love with it. It is so interestingly colored. Sure it was $40...

I bought three on friday from my LFS. They all seem to have their color back after the stressful move to my home. They all seem to be swimming around actively and eating at will. I noticed today though that one of them has a quite bloated stomach. It didn't seem that big yesterday but I was...

I just woke up to a leaking fish tank. It isn't like it is busting out fast leaking but there is water all over the floor and isn't holding!!! Where should I put my fish for now?? Oh yeah. It is a 55 gallon with about 13 cichlids 2-3 inches and one 6-7 inch pleco... I'd put them in the tub...

Hey guys. Well I just got my penguin in today from bigals and installed it onto my 10 gallon. Now my concern is that it is way too much filter for my fish. I have four neons, one blue, and one black neon tetras in there along with a common pleco (1.5 inch). Now I know he is gonna outgrow the...

So here it goes. I had an outbreak of ich last thursday while I was at work. When I got home I preceeded to raise the temp to 88-89 degrees to kill it. It wasn't terrible yet but there was enough of it. So before I left for vacation I told my mother to keep an eye on the temps and fish and...

As I was listening to some music today over my surround sound system I had a thought. Does the loud sound vibrations, mostly the bass, affect the fish at all. I am a bit of an audiophile and have a pretty killer system and had the bass pumping pretty good. I'd assume this is just like thunder...

I have had one in my 10 gallon for a few weeks now (I know they need small groups, I'm just waiting for the LFS to special order me some when she gets a big enough order) and he has been really active and whatnot. Tonight I get home from work at "Where did you go??" He is gone. I checked...

Hey just a quick question. I measured my bulb today for my 10 gallon all glass setup. Well i dunno if i am supposed to round up or what but it only measured barely over 17 inches from pin to pin. I would assume it is the 18" model but I would like confirmation before I order one online and it...

As far as the fish are concerned, do they prefer a wider (front to back) tank or a taller one. I would have to imagine they like a wider tank. The taller one would be more for our pleasure so we could have fish that cruise the top, middle, and bottom more. But I am not totally sure. The...

Hey, I went to look at a used 120 gallon freshwater tank today. It isn't in perfect shape.. needs to be cleaned quite a bit. it has the plastic lights. One doesn't work (she says its just the bulb). needs a new glass cover. but it does have a canister filter (looks like i may want to invest...

Ok, two simple questions. First, I just made a cover for my 10 gallon FW tank out of plexi-glass. It covers everything except for the HOB filter and Heater. I now notice that there is lots of condensation on the glass. My question is: Does there need to be venting holes? The holes for the...
