Oh okay! You don't think it'd be too big for a two gallon? The bowl is only ten inches tall by about six deep. Space is at such a premium.

Wow Brookster, that's some awesome stuff! When I clicked the link for the power head though, it looked entirely too powerful for what I've got. The fishbowl is only (an estimated) 2 gallons, so anyone I keep in there probably won't want his water churning around so much haha. But thank you for...

I'm very inexperienced with UGFs (this is my first! Exciting!). I have no idea how I'd turn it around or anything about a power head lol

Got it! Fresh, you're so good to me. :) <3 Also, am I correct in believing that an air tube is what the little spout behind the big tube is for? Figuring this out without my dad nearby is not easy haha

Hi everyone! It's me again, back with some questions about under gravel filters. I'm wanting to set up a nice big fish bowl (10" tall/6" deep = 2 gallons?). I believe what I have for it is an under gravel filter, at least that's what someone said when I posted it before. My questions are: -...

I had to choose between him and an iridescent white one at PetCo... Pick this one because when I popped them side by side, he flared up almost immediately. And then when he came home and was finally freed from that little cup and put into my four gallon..well my heart just swelled at him...

lol sorry, this is what I get for only reading the first page after waking from a nap.

How in the world did you get 2400 in?? From where? lol I'm about to set up a second fish bowl so I may be interested within the week. :)

I love pictures! This is actually really helpful for someone like me. The only thing I would suggest is a picture of what the final product is supposed to look like. If this is my first time, I'm not going to know what I'm supposed to have created and idk, what if I messed up and made poison...

I've found the newly built petcos to be far superior to older petsmarts. The PetCo on Lindbergh I. Florissant is brand spanking new, but I tend to frequent the PetCo near Hanley (next to where Macaroni Grill used to be) since I live nearby. They're really knowledgable for my needs so far. The...

Thank you so much! I definitely would have been at a loss of that happened.

I'm actually not really using any ferts! I have one Seachem root tab in there, but I broke it into a bunch of pieces and scattered them around the floor, since I didn't want to go overboard. But the other thing I did was use mineralized topsoil after reading a bunch of aquascaping websites and...

The problem I was having with rocks is that I couldn't find any that would just sit there and be /heavy/, you know? There's not that much room between the air tube place and the wall. Trust me, I went digging for rocks in all my tanks looking haha And no comment about the silicone. >_> ;)

First hand experience: DO NOT stick your head IN the tank while sealing! haha Is it a major leak or a pinhole one? I had a pinhole leak and ran new silicone over the old silicone, making sure to clean it with acetone and touch glass on either side. Wherever it was sealed up perfectly and I'm...

(Two weeks later...) Okay, so I had a different idea. Silicone is waterproof right? Safe for Aqua use, right? What if I covered a bunch of metal weights in it? So I did. Covered all the original nuts in silicone and then "disguised" it by packing gravel onto it. Took forever because I did...

Theresa - That's a fantastic website!! I wouldn't be surprised if I placed an order there soon haha <3 and yes, I see your adorable little shrimp's head! So cute!! Did you get your shrimp from that site too? CoolGuy - wow. That's a lot of really helpful info, thank you!! I didn't know about the...

Good to know! I really want to do shrimp for the first time, which is why I'm so interested in the cholla wood. And that piece is adorable! Where'd you get such a small one?

Was wondering - what's your guys opinion on cholla wood? It's new to me and I like the idea, but I saw an old (dissolved??) one online and it looked super pointy and scary. I'm trying to pretend to aquascape before adding shrimp and a betta, but if it were to end up broken, I wouldn't want to...

PM and payment sent! :)

I can take the two Java ferns and riccia off your hands - my tank is too short for the swords unfortunately. ):

This is a good point. I'll report back when I've given it a go!

Yea.. That's likely it, or it had a zinc coating. Super annoying. Maybe I'll have to give the suction cup thing a try! I'm sure I've got a couple ransoms laying about. Would superglue or silicon be better for attaching to the plastic?

Fresh, if I could "like" posts on here, I'd definitely like that one. That's a fantastic restore, thank you! On a different note.. Does anyone have any thoughts/recommendations/ideas about a slightly floating corner filter? I slid some nuts over the air tube and it worked perfectly.. Until I...

Got it, thanks!!

Throw a party!! The more tanks the merrier!
