I wanted to give you fishkeepers the chance to buy my setup before I deal with the Craigslist crazies. :ermm: Here is what I have: 55 Gallon tank. Definitely holds water but could use some TLC as it's a little dirty. Stand - black, a small scratch or two on the front, otherwise in pretty good...

Long time fish keeper but took about 5 years off from the hobby and am back in the swing of things. I picked up a 55G and am trying to find a decent filtration setup. I used to be a big HOB filter person, but the 2 AquaClear 50's I just bought sounds like a truck, as does the TopFin 60. Today...

I'm coming from the freshwater arena and used pool filter sand in the past with excellent results. It's awesome stuff! I'm looking to get a SW setup going and am in the information gathering phase now, heck I haven't even bought the tank yet, so please bear with me. :) In the LFS I see...

It's basically brand new. One of the hoses is cut, but easily replaceable if necessary. I don't want to fuss with shipping, so I'll gladly meet you somewhere close-ish (I live in Laurel, MD) to make the sale. Please save this filter from the trash! :) It's a fine piece, just too much for my...

I'm looking to consolidate tanks and am wondering if the following would be ok to house with 6 Tiger Barbs (and 6 scissor-tails): 2 juvi cory's (1.5") 4 zebra danios 1 rubberlip pleco (1") The barbs are currently housed with 6 scissor-tails (in a 20G long) and have never bothered them one bit...

I've been saving my aquariums for last but now the time has come to move them about 20 minutes away. I initially figured I would remove the filters and decorations, scoop the fish out and put them in a bucket, drain 75% (or so) of the water, then move everything. Instead of lugging a bunch...

Rated for 45 gallons, new it was around $60. I plugged it in once and decided it wasn't for me. The hosing was cut so you'd have to get a new hose, but that's it. I'd let it go for 45$ and will ship anywhere in the US for free. Not sure how payment works around here, but I suppose PayPal...

I guess I just don't get it. Seeing as I've never owned a cannister filter, I have a question or three: 1. They are generally used for aquariums >= 40 Gallons. (T/F) 2. Can you adjust the out-flow? 3. For larger tanks (55g +), would one cannister provide adequate filtration or would/should...

I bumped into a few folks who had those big Home Depot tubs in this thread: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=27114 Let's say this thing is a rectangle (like a normal tank), can you put a normal tank-lid light on top? Also, can you hook up a cannister filter and heater just like a...

I'm looking for a small helper to clean my glass a bit. So far I've seen these: (SAE) Crossocheilus siamensis - 4" Peaceful -or- Otocinclus Catfish - 2" Peaceful Is the Otto more of a plant cleaner than glass? I'm looking for one (or two?) fish that won't mess with my 2 super skitish...

I use Opera 7.23 and any page here never seems to 100% load. It always hangs and hangs and hangs. I thought the phpads was causing the issue because I block banner ads, but it still hangs. Is there a hidden .gif somewhere (hit counter, for example) somewhere on the site? Any other non-IE...

In my quest to uncloud the water in my 10G, I went and got this: http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=28837;category_id=3319 Before: After: It literally only took 10 minutes for the water to get back to crystal clear. The filter was HUGE and created a lot of flow...

Hey all, long time lurker, 1st time poster. After 20+ years of maintaining FW aquariums, my little 10 gallon recently got blasted by a huge algae bloom (green water). Geeze, I've never had such a bloom. 8O I still have to run the usual water quality tests but, in the meantime, I have been...
