Well long story short, I had a journal thread on my 20g long and it did so well that I've got to do something with the overgrowth. Since I've had the 40b setup "somewhat" for a planted tank as well I figured go for it! Also i would like to add that the Marinelands LED lighting for planted tanks...

I have a Marineland 350 pro canister on a 40g breeder tank that I wanna go hi-tech on. Is there a cheap way of doing a diy diffusion inline? I have access to alot of the plumbing parts but just need to know if its feasible with the magnum 350. I, like everyone else just want as close to 100%...

Is it any good for plants? I can't find any with a higher kelvin range. Will this work for low to med. plants?

I was wondering if water temp. At all plays a role in seeding new filters? For example, I have aquariums inside at 72-80°F. If I took bb from my pond outside which currently has a water temp. of 37°F and used it to seed an indoor aquarium would it work straight away? Would I have to acclimate...

I was wondering if any of our members who currently have or had cpd's would like to do a profile?

Is it possible to rig a diy pressurized system utilizing the simple mechanics of an airgun? I realize more parts would be needed, like a needle valve and gauge. The reason I thought of this is because I have access to alot of pneumatic and other air driven parts and pieces in my occupation as a...

I had my heart set on an xp3 and by mistake my wife got me a 350pro. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful and i may keep it depending on the feedback i get here. So.... my question is, which is the better filter? Any and all answers are appreciated. Merry x-mas everyone! >=))))°> CK,

Happy Holidays to all our hard working moderators, and dedicated members!!! >=)))))°> Cichlid Kid,

So, I've been doing diy co2 on my 20g long for a few months now. Usually with alternating the recharging of 2-2liter bottles I maintain about 1 bubble per 2-3 seconds. Well my question is this, towards the end of my 8hr photoperiod i have good pearling but also there will be little trails of...

Though I'd share with everyone my little family of C. Pandas. Anyone else out there have cory family photos they'd like to share? I'd like to see em! ;)

The biggest reason i started this thread was to wish everyone here at AA a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Also, I'm wondering if anyone offered their aquarium stock any special treats today? My guys had fresh prawn, frozen bloodworms, wilted romaine lettuce and shelled garden peas.

What gallon aquarium would the xp3 filter efficiently? I have a slightly overstocked 55gal. Rift lake biotope that i want to upgrade the filtration on. Also how reliable are the xp3's? Would it be a wise investment?

I'm thinking about purchasing this kit for my planted 40gal.breeder thats heavily planted. I'd like to get some of our members opinions on its performance, pro's and cons etc. I'm on a tight budget but diy is a little to high maintenance now that my work schedule has changed. Good day everyone,

Does anyone happen to know what plant this is in the foreground? I have people telling me 3 different things and would like some more experienced opinions.

A friend of mine is considering doing a species only, amazon biotope with glo-light tetras with the hopes of them breeding..? So from what i know of them i relayed to her, being this.... They're egg scatterers, they like soft, slightly acidic water around 76-80°F, and it's best to setup a...

What is the optimal number of panda corys for a 20gal long species tank? Right now i have 3 female and 4 male.

What is the proper way to plant dhg? Will it spread better from sodlike clumps or sprigs of half a dozen spaced apart? My first go at it was wrong i believe.

I have a 20gal. long heavily planted and everything in it is fringed with bba. I've cut down my lighting period to 4hrs a day, raised my 2 ho 24" fluorescents 6" and started a consistent diy co2 generator by rotating 2l bottles, 1 is 2 wks older than 2nd one. My question is this. How can i...

I have a 20gal. long with 8 pandas and 1 baby bnp. Would it be ok to add rcs as well? It's heavily planted and my goal is to breed the pandas once they mature. I'm pretty sure the corys won't eat shrimplets but what about the bnp?

I was wondering if any members have experiences with these gudgeon, and if so I'd like to have a little insight on them if possible. Thanks guys n gals:)

I have 2 24" ho fluorescents on my 20gal long. It's to much light i realize because of bb algae that creeps up every couple weeks. I have diy co2 on it but don't think its enough. So i looked to suplimenting that with liquid. Flourish product line isn't available to me but api co2 boost is so my...

I've had this guy for a few months now and i gotta say, of all my fish he's the most comical to watch. He's upsidedown more than my syndontis cats, more inquisitive than my corys or kuhlis and i don't think he has an aggressive bone in his body. Quite the opposite as my rift lake cichlids. He's...

I'm almost done with my 40b stand. This whole project is a species biotope for breeding panda corys. I currently am successfully breeding 6pair of gbr's in my home but never have bred any cory species so I'm looking for some insight from other members on my setup and or any ideas for finishing...

So. I've built this stand and sorta hit a mental block with finishing it. I wanna integrate a canopy on hinges so all i have to do is lift up in the front for easy access with feeding and maintenance. Any ideas?

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with cattails and growing them in a lined pond? I have 7 of them of a dwarf variety i think, they're growing really well but I've heard they can make a hole in liners after growing for awhile. Does anyone know if this is true? Mine are in terra cotta...
