    where to buy rock aquarium background picture?

    I'm looking for 24" tall and up to 96" long background. I found something in the UK, but there has to be something available in the USA. Not the 3d foam art stuff either, something I can just add to the outside backing of my aquarium. Google isn't working for me this time. Thanks.

    new 240gl, drilled tank + canister setup (need help)

    i traded my 155 bowed for a 240gl last weekend. I finally got my 5x 1" double screwed bulkheads (and screw in plugs) in today. i need my tank running yesterday lol. Trying to figure out my best way to go within 2 options. I kept my filtration from the previous setup, 2 sunsun 500gph 5 stage...

    Faster tank siphoning?

    I was selling my tank (small 72 gallon bowed) in this picture in about an hour (person called me from craigslist and wanted it fast), so I had a couple of friends come over to help me. We came with the idea of a sump pump and ran the garden hose out of my bedroom window into the back yard...

    Can anyone ID my pleco

    just an fyi, I had the same fish I bought from petsmart. about 6 months he grew from 3" to 6", and I believe they can grow up to 21"s. I got rid of him at 6"s since I have small turtles and I thought he was intimidating them, nor did i think he would of grew so quickly. he grew fast in my 155 bowed.

    what is the best filter for a 55 gal fresh water tank

    my mistake, I apologize, I always say the that rate but that's my 3 together oops. they are 500gph each and the competitor (emperor 400) are 400gph. and just to clarify, when I said about the filter being more durable, I meant the filter housing. re-read the post didn't say it was better...

    what is the best filter for a 55 gal fresh water tank

    I forgot to mention, the AC 110, has the highest water flow rate on the market (one of the reasons I choose it, I believe its 500 GPH) for HOBF that I have seen (the other reasoning as previously stated, you can do a lot in altering what you use for filtering since it has a nice big open space...

    what is the best filter for a 55 gal fresh water tank

    IMHO x4 on the AC, I run 3 110's on my 150 bowed that's 3/4 full of water. If you plan on keeping the 55g, i would run 2 AC 110's and call it a day. just let me warn you, be very careful handling them, they are kind of fragile and you don't want to break them. you can run fluval filter tube...
