I have considered added 2-3 Discus to my 125 Gallon tank but am aware of the specific care involved and what I am wondering is how they wil be accepted into a very established tank. At this time in my 125GAL I have the following: 3 Balas, one approx 8" in length 2 Cory Cats 3 Adult Angels 1...

Has there even been a matchmaker/date forum on here? It just makes sense that there was since everyone has at least ONE thing in common. I know allot them get weird, so I understand but it did seem plausible here since we are at least at first appearance seem normal. :) Just curious

I broke down over the weekend and upgraded my one tank in the back of the house. Not to mention my 6 footer in the living room now. Gracie was just getting too big for the 36 long she was in so I got here a 56 tall. She's already re-decorated as you can see from the picture. The gravel was...

This fish has the most personality out of any of my other critters. She'll come up to the top of the water and open her mouth like a bird when she's ready to eat so she has me pretty well trained. Reminds me of a cat I know...hmmmm

A funny thing happened during this. I have a group of 3 adult Angels. I was working down on the tank and thought one was dead as it was completely buried under approx 1/4" of the substrate flat as a pancake. I thought I had hit it without noticing since them are fairly used to me being in the...

Interesting thing happened the other day. My 2 1/2 year old Bala shark decided to take a walk. How he managed to fly through a very small opening still remains a mystery. He made it through the typical small slit opening in the back of my 125 plexi tank. Lucky for him my wife was home, heard...

I have 3 filters in my 125 gal and the magnum for what ever reason will occasionaly spew out of the return what looks like little white flakes, While they do get filtered or drop to the bottom eventually I have never seen any other filter do this. It was especially heavy after a cleaning like...

Great iBook in new condition, original box and accessories. A great portable for school or work. You won't be disappointed. A great computer at a great price. 650.00

Ok, here's what I have at the moment: (3 angels, mostly full grown), (3 balas, 2 medium one on his way to full grown) , (2 Plecos medium in size), (4 corys small to large, 3 emerald, 1 albino). 1 CAE, medium in size, and last but not least 1 Bichir, that eventually will eat anything small...

I like I am sure many others have been used to a fairly low suction when using the kitchen faucet. Well let me tell you. Today I decided to attach the Python to an outside spigot. Well well, now I hooverfied, that had more suction than my vacuum cleaner. Finished the gravel chores in my 125 in...

Hope everyone has a good weekend, I know our cat is channel surfing.

I am the only one that seems to have a really finicky eater in a female adult cichlid? This beautiful yet feisty cichlid will only eat live food, and even then not everything. I am definitely having a chore getting her to eat any greenery let alone regular protein. Man, I hvae cats that were...

I have tried both the diplomatic as well as the direct approach with a co-worker in regards to what to us is a very basic maintenance part of aquaria. The person I speak of has a 100 gal. tank and she is convinced that PWC'S are not necessary. As a last resort I am going to let her borrow my...

After a slow but required cycling, takin the time to set up everything as well as adding one Cichlid to a separate 50 gallon tank in a solo environment I can sit back and enjoy the tanks between weekly maintenance :). The main 125 gallon tank has 2 coral life 65W compact flourescent lights, I...

Well, It's done. I took my time and did it slowly, definitely pays off. This was quite a journey from aquiring the tank in San Francisco to designing the plumbing and aquascaping. DIY Caves, 150 lbs. black auarium gravel. 1 Eheim 2128 Pro canister, one Eheim 2028 wet/dry canister. 2 24"...

Here's the scenario 3 weeks ago water in, 2 raw prawns in a nylon, 3 small krill in another nylon. Filter media taken out of established tank also placed in bottom of aquarium. Tank is a 125 Gallon FW Water parameters today were: Ammonia zero, Nitrites zero, Nitrates 8-10.. Filters that have...

I decided to make some caves using GE Silicone #1 and River Rock. I purchased a pvc flower pot, cut it in 2 (2 caves) and I also used a PVC elbow for a larger mouth cave. I also used some left over plastic plants for attached decorations. While this does take some time, the results were...

On the custom stand that I have that will be supporting a 125 Gallon FW tank I was curious as to other's on supportive considerations. The tank is a 6 foot X 20 X24 with a custom pine stand purchased at the same time the tank was. The tank itself sits on the stand and has solid support around...

I thought it would be interesting to do a diary on a new tank set up. I am setting up a new 125 gal FW tank. I plan on starting the process of cycling on 2-20 after the initial set-up. As it sits at the moment the tank will be initially started with one Eheim 2028 and one Eheim 2227...

Ok, here goes: I recently acquired a Bio Reef branded model BR acrylic tank. The tank was previously used for SW, but I plan on only using it for FWFO. The tank came with a Del Rey model 125 wet/dry filter, two Lifeguard modules, one labeled mechanical and one labeled chemical. A UV sterlizer...

I have scoured the available resources for information on plumbing and while I have found some help nothing that seems to match what is plumbed in a tank I recently aquired. The tank has 3 outlets in the bottom, evenly spaced across with the center tank having a small elbow that angles upward...

Ok here goes. I have set up other tanks in the past but never one like this. The tank came with a Del Rey 125 wet/dry filter, what appears to be an overflow tank, under gravel filter panels, two returns in the bottom that apparently were constructed when the tank was new. A UV Sterlizer...

These apparently have taken over my empty 10 gallon quarantine tank. They are very small, the two in the picture have been dramatically magnified and their actual size each is approx. that of two pin heads. I am suspecting possibly snail fry? Thanks in advance.

I am going to get back into the hobby after a lapse of 20 years. I currently have a well established 40 GAL FW tank, used to keep SW many years ago. If money were no object what would you get to set up a 200 Gallon SW tank? I'm talking from the actual tank/stand to the lighting and assorted...

Hi all, I have a 40 gal FW tank (artificial plants) that has been set up now since 11-20-04, I added fish at 2 week increments (should have waited longer) so that at the moment I have the following: 1 Opaline Gourami>4 Cory Cats>2 Bala sharks>1 male Betta>1 Female Betta. I know eventually...
