Got my tank filled with water, got the sump cleaned out today, Got the plumbing mostly done today (looks like abstract art you'd complain about on someones front yard, might have to touch it up a bit, but it should function as intended.) SG is just a hair under 1.026 (Refractometer, Used...

Well, I have given away all my FW fish, removed all the plants, drained and cleaned my 120Gal (4x2x2) that I had drilled last year. Been reading as much as I can and I'm pretty sure I have most of the answers I need about most equipment except.. I did a search here and found little to no...

Haven't seen this one asked, so I figure I'll ask.. If you are replacing a PH controller probe, does it need to be the same brand? ie. Pinpoint probe w/ a Milwaukee controller? or vice versa. I only ask because of availability.. Pinpoint is much easier for me to get a hold of, but I have a...

Spent 1.5hrs trying to get 5 Clown Loaches out of my tank, (7:00 - 8:25).. raced to the fish store with 3 minutes to spare. Paid 20$ for 6,Sold the 5 for 40$, but I have to go back tomorrow to pick up some different fish.. The reason for getting the clowns out of the tank (and that was a major...

The Kribs eggs (that I couldn't find) Hatched (well a good chunk of them). The Parents are quite diligent in protecting them. First time I've had any babies in my tank..

I've been noticing mystery bubbles everywhere.. No not pearling.. I noticed my Maxi-jet 1200 keeps spraying out some air bubbles/mist.. This doesn't seem weird except it's completely submersed with a spraybar attachment on it (no venturi) it has no contact with the surface at all except for the...

This was in discussion earlier in This Thread. It's a 120Gal 4'x2'x2' w/ 2 holes drilled in the back (not in use yet) Using Turface as a substrate. Occupants include, 5 Congo Tetras, 12 Black Neons, 4 Silver tip Tetras, 5 Clown loaches, a couple others and a 14.5" Sailfin Pleco. Lighting...

Went into the Big Als in Oakville, was talking to the guy about the pricing to drill a tank..... Ended up walking out with a receipt for a 120Gal (48lx24hx24d) with 2 holes drilled in it.... Now just to get some substrate which I just got my answer about.. time to read.. (Pricing for Turface...

Finally, after having my Crinum Natans for 8-10 months (and it having a trunk like a tree) a Flower. The part that surprises me is, I didn't see it yesterday. This shot up overnight.. Guess replacing my old lights with a 4x65W & 1x32W did some good.

Well, my tank does this every night at around 8:30-9:00pm. I was kinda shocked since I have a high bioload.. This picture is the right side of my tank, they grey smudges heading towards the top of the tank are oxygen bubbles. This is the jungle that the hygro turned into, it's staying on...

I've noticed more and more people are using Watts from a CF to equal 1WPG.. The way I figure these numbers are. 1 W CF bulb = 1.75W towards the WPG rule 1 W T8 bulb = 1.58W towards the WPG rule 1 W T12 bulb = 1W towards the WPG rule I think this is the most effective way of doing things...

for the longest time I always had water that was less then clear, sort of like micro particals floating in it. well today I added 2 caps of phosphorus (20ml or about .2ppm) and the water cleared right up. I mean it's almost crystal clear.. I was worried adding it because of green water.. but no...

Well, My 75 Gal with higher light and Co2 injection. The powerhead on the right is not connected. the one on the left goes to my CO2 reactor and secondary Filter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 75Gal FW Pressurized Co2 w/ PH Controller.(KH...

I bought some plants today, it was a bunch plant marked as "Rotala Indica" and it seems that's the default marking, this plant is very red and even has red stalks. it looks like macrandaa, but with narrow leaves. Sorry the picture is dark, I missed the main lights turning off.

Yay, I got the plumbing temporarily hooked up to 2, first one is a 3 stage filter (Seachem Matrix -> very porous foam -> floss) that goes over to the Co2 reactor. The bioballs wouldn't fit in it so I used some floss.. I was horsing around and turned the bubble rate high enough that it was a...

I've been reading as to why my plants get 1/3rd up my tank and start growing horizontally. This affects hygro rosanervig (high light) and now I've noticed my Rotala Spec Nanjenshan doing the same (High-veryhigh light) but @ 3" above the substrate.. The best answer I can find is light...

Why is it since the upgrade the censors have been acting like TV censors? It will randomly censor different words. Eg. Smoosh, Put, Fish I've read posts and written posts where the censor just beeps out random words.

I was looking around on tropica's site and came across This It shows the relation between Co2 and light, and their effect on plants in the aquarium. Some great information with some great understanding on why plants do the things that they do.

I will hopefully soon be setting up a 125Gal (72x18x22) with the following Fluval 304 (existing, strictly mechanical filtration) Custom filter, (from DIY section, thread of mine) Milwaukee All-in-one Milwaukee SMS122 Controller 6 ODNO 4' T8's (~64w/bulb for 384w)or just over 3WPG 15lbs of...

I've been working out which way to inject Co2 and I figured I would just make it part of a filtration system. so the design is this. Flow rate should be around 150GPH, tho I may have to reduce it so it doesn't blow all the sand out of the fluidized bed. each tube is 17.5" high, and 4.5" in...

I just wanted to confirm I did find a real SAE.. I read through the descriptions of the false ones and this doesn't fit any (only 2 barbs, black around each scale).. if it is, then I'll keep an eye out for a couple more, they are so delicate with the plants :)

I've read the instructions, looked at their formula, it all makes no sense.. according to their formula I'ld have to add 60ml to increase the nitrate in the tank (currently at 10) to 20. now that is a little rediculous. Taking their other numbers, it only get's worse @ 187ml.. Has anyone...

Some is confusing growth, but generally great growth now. I picked up a sword in very bad shape on Boxing day, had to cut all but 5 leaves off it (name of plant is in my sig), it has since grown 6 new leaves, (that's 1 leaf every 1.5 days).. and this is a medium grower??? The Crinum has grown...

I found that to buy the lighting that I want for my next tank (3 x 24" 2x65w) up here would cost 270$ * 3 = 810$ + taxes = $931.00 Buying it from the states would cost 112$ * 3 = 336$ + taxes and duties = $432 USD or ~$500.00 total ripoff.. they need to fix their pricing and stop gouging.. I...
