I want to know if my 90 gal is overstocked. I got a coment today that said so. My filtration is not listed in my sig. Its a fluval 404 and an AC 500. I have lots of rocks and caves. 1 fish death since I set it up about a year ago (unsure why). So let em fly. :D

I added another light strip to my 90, I now have 4-48" 40 watt bulbs. One is actinic, one is a GE aquarium bulb the two I added are philips plant and aquarium bulbs. There temp is 2700 K. The problem is they make the tank look yellow. Should I get two higher temp bulbs. The yellow look is not...

My Moorii's were have started maiting. At least thats what it looks like (nobody carrying yet.) The strange part is, is that when the two I thought were mating, start doing the dance the others join in. Some times he will chase off the other male, but she won't. She will acually start dancing...

Actually I have three fish I would like ID'd. I have een having trouble post pic to the forum so I put them in my gallery. Please look and hazard a guess please. Thanks everyone. :D

I have a 90 gal cichlid tank that I woud like to plant. My latest concern(there have been many) is about the current. I now have 3 power heads shooting behind the rocks in order to avoid dead spots. I've read here that plants don't like current. How do I keep trash from collecting in the rocks...

posting pictures. Can anyone tell me how to do it. :roll:

I have two very large piles of rock (one in each back corner) in my 90 gal. I worry about waste build up under the pile. :tongue: Should I move things around every now and then. The africans have set territories and the electric yellows are prego again. I'd hate to startle her and make her...

When I got my fluval 404 it cam with ceramic media (two different shapes). It was not enough to fill all of the compartments, so I went and bought some Bioballs. :laugh: My question is, which is better. Should I trash the balls and buy more ceramic or are they good.

I read on another post that african cichlids should only be fed once every other day. Is this true. I have been feeding once sometimes twice a day. I use tiny little pellets and I try to make sure everyone gets some (even the fry). But the amount I give them is usually gone in a matter of...

The only problem I have with the python (and its not really a problem) is that you have to put the chemicals directly into the tank. Then I thought about those contraptions that hook on to your graden hose and deliver chemicals to the yard. :bulb: Could we shrink one of those down to be python...

Whats a good web store for 1. supplies and equipment (i know alot of you swear by bigals) 2. fish (is this even a good idea?) 3. plants

How hard would it by to make one. Anyone have any plans. :bulb:

Wow!! :o I have been looking at the pictures in the gallery and I realized that my tank is not so well decorated. Now I know I can't even come close to Travis Simpson’s 125gal mbuna tank but I would like to emulate it. At this point I can’t afford the filtration, lighting and CO2 injector that...

Since The first time I saw them, Cyrtocara Moorii have been my favorite fish. Due to many circumstances, I have only had them twice before. Both times they fought like brave little cichlids. I now refuse to keep Pseudotropheus Zebra's because of it. Anyway heres my dilemma, since the last...

Do Discus require brackish water. can anyone give me a good web site for discus.

Hey guys I just found 4 Brichardi Fry. This is the third time the pair has had fry. This time I hope the Synodontis cat dosen't eat them. Should I try to catch them and put them into a breeder net. :new-bday: :smilecolros:

I am setting up a 90 gal Malawian Cichlid tank. My main concern is lighting. This is what George from www.malawicichlid.com said "As for the lighting, I would just add a full length white and a full length actinic fluorescent tubes, placed as close to each other as possible." I would...

has any one heard about the Helios T-5 lights. my local store had them very cheap, but i heard from someone else that they are dangerous (i.e. could burn your house down.) Has any one used them, my local store guy said they were coming out with a new fixture with rubber end caps. I don't know if...
