    Ugly Tank w/ Pretty Fish - Suggestions

    Yep. I believe the bulb in there now is a 6700K, but it's getting old. I know I keep mentioning CO2, in the past when I tried plants I struggled to get them to thrive, until I cobbled together a CO2 system with a 2 liter and an airstone. Clearly, the consensus here is to integrate plants into my...

    Ugly Tank w/ Pretty Fish - Suggestions

    Thanks for the suggestions! Props to herp mommy for the photo-shopped picture of my tank! I will look into the profiles of the plants suggested, but I don't think anything is going to do very well until I have a CO2 setup which I cannot afford at the moment. I was thinking of getting some more...

    Ugly Tank w/ Pretty Fish - Suggestions

    I've been trying to start up plants again with Anacharis and Dwarf Grass, but without CO2 my plants simply can't keep pace with my voracious barbs! I was thinking investing in other types of decor would be less costly than getting CO2 up and running.

    What freshwater fish have you not yet kept but really would like to?

    I have to try anything in the cichlid (Angels excluded) family - That would be my next tank, a cichlid setup.

    Gouramis....

    In my experience housing dwarf gouramis together is not a problem. Larger Gouramis ( i.e. Blue Gouramis) can be territorial. For basic info, the following link should help. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/aquarium-fish-supplies.cfm?c=830+882

    Embaressing Nitrate Levels - What to do?

    The water here is hard as gravel, I use RO water from a local water shop, 10gal. costs $2.50 which is affordable. However, I was pretty concerned with the nitrate level, so when I bought the Nitrate test, I picked up the "de*nitrate." I was about to do some filter maintenance, would it be...

    Embaressing Nitrate Levels - What to do?

    I've been away from home and unable to tend to my tank regularly. I left 2x Clown Loches and 1x Sailfin Pleco in the tank with instructions on how to feed them, but no one to carry out maintenance. The following water parameters resulted: NitrItes 0ppm, Ammonia 0ppm, NitrAtes >200ppm! I've since...

    Filstar pump failure after 3yrs... normal?

    I tore it completely down for cleaning, rebuilt it and it worked. I shut it down when I was topping off the tank (I had to leave before I could finish filling it) After I filled my tank, it would not pump. I could see it trying to build pressure in the outflow side, but it didn't reach the...

    Filstar pump failure after 3yrs... normal?

    Hey there - I was finishing up late last night servicing my tank and I could not get the pump to pump! The motor will turn on and I can hear it sloshing water around, but it can't seem to build enough force to move water. I pretty certain it still is sealing properly and the filter is freshly...

    Mag Driven, or Keeping it Quite w/ the One

    I want to replace my crappy pump with something a little more robust. I have two brands picked out that I like. One is Mag Drive, the other is Quite One. I like the Mag because it looks more sturdy and has more power, however it cost more($54) and I don't neccessarily need 500gph. The Quite One...

    Time to get CO2 serious.

    I have been raising plants in my tank with a Hagen natural CO2 system with moderate success. I have some money saved up and I want to revamp. I would like to finally add in a fully automated CO2 system. I have seen that some e-tailers offer their own full systems. Whats the best way to get one...

    Question for Rex.

    I had a question about the AH SUpply lighting kits. This is going to sound nuts but, Are the lights loud. Some PC's have a very annoying hum, I was just curious if these lights did. Also I assume you have a kit, how long have you had yours? Which one did you purchase. Thanks for your time.
