hi, ebay or craigslist or a fish forum in your state that has listings for tanks ect for sale will be your best bet for a quality tank over 100 gallons. i was at one of the lfs i go to lot that deals in fresh and salt water and they had nice 90 gallons with hood and stand on sale for just under...

still havent found a background for my 55 i like yet and im waiting for fed ex to bring the spongebob one my 21 month old son like to come in the mail but finally figured out how to post pics and am putting up 2 of the 55 and one of the 10. i cant wait till i have enough money to get a tank over...

hey everyone my ick case was a false alarm and ended up being comfirmed as natural markings on my fish from the pic i posted :)... also my tank is finally showing the signs of cycling ive been waiting for! ammonia is almost constintly around zero and nitrates and nitrites are starting to show up...

yeah i havent seen any other that same shade its kinda cool especially since it was the last one left lol. as far as temp in my tank its right around 82 right now and all the fish really seem to enoy it. should i leave it or slowly go back down to 80 where i had it before?

ya i have a blue and one thats blueish with red lines and they do fine together but have only been together about a month.... i am running a 10 and 55 gallon right now and have 2 hob (pengiun 150 & 350) and a fluval 205 canister they keep my water perfect looking even with a decent bio load on my 55

thx for the advice on the situation everyone and the pics of fish with similar markings was very helpful :)

yeah they are pretty evenly spaced out and do resemble a pattern thats where my confusion comes from :(. ive been looking @ pictures for hours and cant find a definite awnser ive seen everything from its normal, its ick, and even that it means its not pure bred cause they are suppose to have...

i have a almost 2 year old son i know how demanding kids can be. ill have to post a question about my canister in general hardwear, im just happy that the sponge and the carbon were in different places so i didnt have to pull that out. the med i got is api liquid super ick cure im able to only...

what do i do for filtration when i add the meds? i know i cant have any carbon in my filters or it will pull the meds right out of the water. i have a penguin 350 hob, a pengiun 150 hob, and a fluval 205 canister on my 55 gallon. what would be best to replace the filter pads on the hobs? im...

thx lovin fish im probally going to use meds cause im scared of adding a massive does of salt with my eel and pleco in the tank, and im even more scared that heat alone will end up with someone dieing in the tank. ive already started rising the temp im going to do it very slowly and ive seen...

just posted it in unhealthy fish as a new thread. thanks for the addvice hopefully all my fish will pull through. :thanks:

hi everyone i have a parrot cichlid with ick:( im not sure exactlly what to do:( mainly becuase i have a pinstripe eel and a pleco in the tank and dont know if they can handle the extra salt needed to treat ick. ive only been able to find info online saying that they would be sensitive to ick...

ok i will opt out of the meds then. i was just reading on an ick thread that pleco and eel wont like the meds much case they have no scales. if the salt wont hurt either of those in a massive dose i should be good on the others handling the extra salt in the tank. if i add the extra salt how...

ok are the meds going to just be a waste of money then? i just dont want to have a big mortallity rate by the time this runs its course. ive read that when the ick falls off the fish the spores hatch into new parasites that re attack the fish all over again. how often should i vacuum the gravel...

help my parrot cichlid has ick starting on his fins :( i noticed it last night and think hes the only one with it. what is the best method of curing this im planning on going to the store as soon as i get some advice on this ive read of 3 different ways one was salt and increased heat but all my...

my pinstripe eel is driving me crazy lately but is one of the coolest things in my tank he loves to borrow under my biggest plant and spend the day up rooting it lol... im going to put some more gravel in tonight and see what happens, also am going to clean one of my filter, my pengiun 350 has...

i was planning on buying a 250gph model untill i saw a fluval 205 it was the last on my petsmart had and i somehow got it for 89.99 it was originally 160 there and i thought it was on sale for 109.99 according to the internet, so i got that one and it moves 180 gph which takes me to a total of...

:( ammiona is still my only battle im having in my tank, its @ .5 ppm no matter what ive done ( wc, gravel vac, ect ) and its making me think ive hit a platue as far as me being able to keep up with the daily ammonia output of my 55 gal tank. im currently running two hob filters one is a pengiun...
