I was looking at the Dr.Fosters website and found some powercompact lights on sale(sunpaq brand). 65w bulb for $21.00, I'm assuming that's a pretty good deal. The fixture I have(Customsealife Smartlite), had two 65W but both had burned out and the unit has been in my garage for about a year...

Just a note to let yall know that my fishless cycle is finally finished :D I cycled with 3 large shrimp bought from the grocery store. It took 5 weeks and I basically just thru the shrimp in and let nature due the rest. No frantic water changes to help keep fish alive during the cycling...

I've got what looks to be like a white fuzz growing on my driftwood :roll: Almost looks like cotton but it is slightly transparent, does anyone have a clue what this might be? I have a 75 gal. tank that has been cycling for about 4 weeks now with raw shrimp. Currently there are no fish in the...

My tank has about completed its cycle and my original intent is to get about 6 Discus (prob. from DiscusMadness.com), but first I wanted to stock with some cories and maybe a school of Tetras. My question is about the bio-load: How many cories and tetras could I have if I wanted 6 Discus? I...

Does anyone know where I can find repair parts for my magnum 350 canister? I'm looking for the o-ring that fits on the top of the canister. Thanks for any help.

I tested my water again last night. My results were: PH stabel @ 7.6 as usual, Ammonia still @ 0, and my Nitrite was reading 1.0. Is all of this normal for my situation? Just thought I would see an Ammonia spike by now. I am almost 3 weeks into cycling a 75 gal tank with raw, unprocessed...

I have a big piece of wood at the house I wanted to put in my tank but, I think it is a piece of cedar!!! 8O My first thought is to NOT put cedar wood in the tank, is that right? Or can I use it?

Well, it's been about two weeks into my fishless cycle with three raw shrimp. Still no signs of Ammonia yet but I'm guessing it is a bit to soon to see an Ammonia spike. I can now see the shrimp physically starting to breakdown so I'm hoping for recordable Ammonia levels soon. I have only...

Can anyone tell me what fish I could use too keep algae under control in a discus tank? I have had plecos before in other aquariums and it seems like they produce a TON of waste and since water quality will be a def. issue with my setup I'm lookin' for something a lil' less messy if ya know what...

Well I wound up trying the fishless cycle with shrimp last night, just wondering what to do next? I have a 75 gal. tank with a magnum 350 and an Eheim 2026. I'm leaving the lights out for now as I don't have plants yet. How much salt do I need to add to the Aquarium? I put in three shrimp is...

Was going to start my cycle with the shrimp but have changed my mind. I want to add the 100% pure ammonia instead. Is there someplace local that I could pick this up at? Wal-mart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc....????? Thanks for your inputs.

Used for about 8 months when I was big into the heavily planted tanks. Still in very good shape, just don't have the time to take care of all the plants. This unit has been in storage for about 1 1/2 years but it should work just fine. Looking to get around $75.00 or Best Offer. All offers...

I'll start the cycle just as soon as my filters are ready. Quick question. I want to try the fishless method on my 75 gallon. After doing some reading I thought I would try the shrimp method, but how many shrimp should I use? Also, do I leave the lights of the aquarium off during the cycle...
