    Aquavitro put to the test

    So I've recently decided to test this product line out. While I know it's probably just a waste of money there have been so many people talking about it but never any results. So here we go, let's finally get some results documented. Follow along and if you have any experience with these...

    Some updated pics

    So I've been waiting a good deal of time since I dealt with that disease in my tank and I'm about to start ordering more fish. This time ill be doing mostly ps. elongatus and cynotilapia. For now I've redone some aquascaping to start preparing for the transition. Removed all my java fern cause I...

    Fluval spec v

    Who else has a fluval spec v running. I recently set one up for shrimp and I'm having a bit of an issue with it from the second I opened the box and looked at it. The wall for the filter on the bottom (below the sponge filter) has a cut out for water to flow out of. Right next to it is the pump...

    Disease or bully

    This is the second fish in the last week like this. I have recently added this guy along with 5 other peacocks, parameters are where they always are and only thing that has changed is I've removed my sump and added a fx5. The other that had these signs was an ob peacock that was much smaller and...

    Hurricane

    To all my fellow New Jersey and surrounding area residents, good luck in these next few days. I hope everyone has taken care of your tanks to be ready to withstand a lengthened power outage. I also hope you have taken the precautions for yourself and family. If you have well water I would...

    Is a python better

    I've had my aqueon for a few years now and I guess there is a life expectancy for it. Are pythons made better?

    From worse to worst

    So as I'm cutting my grass tonight I get interrupted by my wife because my son and neighbors kids decided to dump every bag of fish food and handfuls of cat food into my 125. I've already lost 4 fish (2 chailosi, 1 maingano, and 1 yellow lab) my favorite elongatus is laying on his side right now...

    Breeding room

    This project has gotten to be a bit more than I thought. Stand is all built and man it was tough getting it in this tight space by myself. The wife REFUSED to help. Tanks are being cleaned as we speak. Picked up something I absolutely could not pass up. That surprise is for later.

    New tanks

    Well if I am on a mission for divorce I think I'm dead on track. I ended up getting rid of my 40 breeders and got 45 longs. Cleaned out my closet and moved them in all while the wife was out. Luckily for me she NEVER goes in the closet (my luck she will tomorrow). I haven't decided yet how...

    Couple pictures.

    Snapped a few pics of the tank before. Water isn't the clearest cause it was feeding time. Forgot to add pics I think I have another saulosi to pull from the tank. Down to 1m and I think 4f of the original 2:6 I thought I purchased but turned out to be 4:4.

    Stumped

    What is this guy. His colors have matured in the past 48 hours extremely and this whole time I thought it was an ice blue red top zebra.

    Sooo close

    I'm kicking myself so hard right now I'm ready to scream. I finally picked up the final plumbing parts today for my sump and I get home and realize the overflow is missing one of the bulkheads. This is going to be fun trying to find one the same size since they went from 1 3/8" OD threaded to...

    Angry wife - happy me

    Picked up some new goodies yesterday. Anubias, java ferns, and some more amazon swords. Also got some synodontis eupterus, strawberry peacocks, and ob peacocks. Really wanted some more female saulosi but no luck there. My dominant male saulosi is slowly getting his colors.

    Plans change again

    So today I couldn't resist. I tried so hard but I gave in and picked up 8 ps. Saulosi. (2:6 ratio) The lfs I frequent said if I start to breed them he will gladly buy them back. Justification in my mind!! I'll post pics tonight when I get home and they settle in. Boy are they pretty!

    Sump questions

    Calling all DIYers. I'm looking to pick up a eshopps pf-1200 overflow box (rated at 1200 gph. with dual intake) and I think I'm gonna get the mag-drive model 12 1200gph pump. What my question is, will these two work together at the same rates. I know a lot of pieces of equipment are rated at X...

    Diy co2

    I came across this website today, many of you probably have seen this already or know everything it has to say but it's FULL of good info. Www.qsl.net/w2wdx/aquaria/diyco2.html

    Whats the cause

    I can't tell what can be the cause here. I have been trying to keep amazon swords in my cichlid tank and I trim plants weekly. When I trimmed this week I am starting to question if it's the cichlids eating the plants or if it's a lighting issue.

    New qt tank and some pics

    My 29 gallon tank just finished cycling and now it's time for the last water change before I start moving fish over. I have a yellow lab that got beat up and is blind out of one eye that will be living in this tank for a few months. I snapped a few pics of the main tank too. One on my labs...

    Wanted: Anubias

    Let's try this again. I'm looking for anubias (preferably anubias barteri variants). I am looking in the range of at least 10 plants at minimum.

    Ps. Elongotus

    What's a good tank mate for pseudotropheus elongotus? I'm debating with my restock to go into these. I know these guys are the nastiest of nastiest mbuna but I don't want to do a species only tank.

    Here we go again

    Another sad day in the aquarium world. Just added some fish 2 days ago. Lfs got a not so pleasant phone call at 7 am.

    Water hardness

    So I finally broke down and bought the api kit to test water hardness. I'm a little concerned now, my kh took 17 drops to change color!!! I'm afraid if I try to soften the water its going to lower my ph. What's everyone else's experience with this.
