    Convicts breeding again?

    I have a pair in a 40 breeder. My oldest batch is about the size of a quarter. You can actually see the difference in size relative to fry batches. The oldest fry have started picking off the eggs of the new spawn. I was starting to get overrun with babies. It will regulate itself IMO. I give...

    Topfin 150 gal?

    I just picked up a 125 reef ready for $100 on craigslist. It looks brand new. It you have the time and paitence you could find one much cheaper than that. use search words aquarium and fish tank. some people post them differently.

    125 Reef Ready tank

    I just bought a 125 gallon reef ready tank for $100 dollars yesterday. Only problem is It was tank only. Where would I get the plumbing/hardware for the corners. There are 2 holes in each corner. I haven't measured them, but guessing i would say they are about an inch and a half. Any advice...

    UV Sterilizer..Need it or Not?

    I have a 40 gallon breeder in the bay window of my kitchen. It only gets early morning sun, for about 1 hour. I know it shouldn't be there but I'm in the middle of a remodel and have no other choice right now. I'm constantly cleaning the beginning forms of algea off the sides with my mag-float...

    Assorted african cichlids?

    I want to say they are cross bred and they don't know either. Not sure but that's my opinion. I have a few. And you really can't tell what they are.

    New Breeder

    Brand new 40 breeder. Thanks to my Convicts, who obviously have not heard about contraceptives. I think i need to take them to planned parenthood. 3 batches of fry in there. Anyone local to the Philly burbs let me know. Credit to my girlfriend for the scaping!

    Lava Rock Question

    I want to re-scape my african tank. I was thinking about using Lava rock. My question is there a specific type for tanks or is it all pretty much the same. Will it affect my Ph? And finally should I silicone it together or leave loose? I found this while looking around the web...

    How to sex jewel cichlid

    I was told and in my case it is true. If you look at their tails, the male will have spots from top to bottom. The female will only have spots halfway down. And when ready to spawn they both turn fire engine red. I bought 6 myself then the male eventualy killed off all but his partner.

    vibrating noise in fluval 305

    Considering the impeller is the only moving part. I would look there first. make sure it's not bent and seated properly. Also check to for an air pocket. I myself have a 305 and sometimes I have to double check it's on, because it's that quiet.

    Wet/Dry Filter Question.

    I don't know, maybe I'm just cheap. 5 dollars for a little piece of foam is crazy.

    Wet/Dry Filter Question.

    In my pile of junk I actually found a piece of coarse foam about 1 inch around by 9 inches long. Fits in the hole perfectly. Now I just have to figure out where to get more. Does anyone know a cheap wholesale place for the filter foam, from what I see buying it by the piece can get expensive.

    Wet/Dry Filter Question.

    Thanks again for your help.....I'm not actually trying to cycle it, I just wanted to make sure it worked first. But when I do, Can I add some bio-rings from my Fluval into the bio-balls or just put them in the return side near the pump?

    Wet/Dry Filter Question.

    @ Fresh That's what I mean. The drain in the overflow is wide open, I put a piece of filter in there for now. @ Andrew I already put a filter pad above the bio-balls. I thought the egg crate in the pic was too dense. I left it running all night..No leaks water levels are the same. The pics were...

    Wet/Dry Filter Question.

    Well this is it. It seems to be running correctly. I think I'll have to fine tune the inside overflow, But I'm happy with it. For the record I removed the egg crate and put a piece if flat filter pad in instead. I thought the crate was not flowing well enough. Feel free to express! I'm...
