I just upgrade to a 100 gallon aquarium, and I don't think my Whisper HOB will suffice. Whats the best filter for a 100 gallon aquarium?

I had no where near that kind of a down payment, My wife and I fought tooth and nail to muster up about a 3% down payment.... Around $12K... Took me years to get that much. Lots of sacked lunches, and baloni sandwiches for dinner. I don't know how it is in Northern Cal... But here in...

I'm what you call an eternal optimist... I don't buy into the whole housing market collapse debate that experts have been raging for about the last 3 years. I was talked out of my buying the house next door to my folks about 2 years ago for $390K because of the so called housing bubble...

The dream is not gone in California, in fact, I think its stronger than ever... The economy is strong is so cal. I bought a house last year, and I make no where near $110,000. The same models in my complex are selling for $80,000 more than I bought it for. My housing payments are cheaper...

Thanks y'all. I haven't moved them out. Kinda curious how the parents will do with the other occupants in the tank. The fry are now free swimming, looks to be about 25 of them. The parents are great at keeping the other fish on the other side of the tank. The dad was and still is the ruler...

I've known that these 2 leleupis had been getting fresh with each other for about a week. They took up residence in one of the breeding caves (looks like a little pueblo). The other day I am vacuuming the gravel by their cave, and the male viciously attacks the tube, it was kind of humorous...

I'll have to pick up the Tang issue... Sounds very cool!

Doubt that was ever his intent... Can't really blame him... A 646 pound catfish will feed lots of people. It is a endangered species, which is the bad part. I just read a report about 3 weeks ago about how they released a handful of these catfish back in the river to spawn. Bet a few of...

My car got broken into a couple years back... The perp tried to get into the drivers door. Looked like he used a screwdriver and banged it into the keyhole... Obviously didn't work for him, but he screwed it up nonetheless. So he went around to the passenger's door AND TRIED THE SAME THING...

I have an all glass 26 gallon that I tried to sell at my garage sale about a month ago for 10 bucks... Just the tank and the glass top. It's got a couple chips in the corners, but doesn't leak... No one even looked in its direction... I have to get rid of it so that I can convince the...

absolute wild speculation!

With regards to the family... I think the mom's ultimate plan was to get Jackson to molest her kid to get another payday.... Think about it, what parent in their right mind would let their kid spend the night with a guy who has paid millions of dollars to make a molestation case go away...

IMO, there wasn't enough to convince me of his guilt. The prosecution had a very poor case, and presented it even poorer. The whole case was, "He said that she said that the kid saw this happen"... There really was no hard evidence. Again, JUST MY OPINION :)

Yeah, it was down... I blamed it on my work server... But with y'all having the same problem, I think we have isolated the source... Didn't think I was that addicted until it got taken away from me and I actually had to work while at work....

Yeah, I have my new tank picked out, even thinking of splurging for a 180 gallon tank. The wifey will kill me :) Hopefully will pull the trigger and buy it within a month or 2. I get a little carried away when I hit the LFS... It's definitely some kind of disease or mental disorder. I'm...

Cyps definitely are the best! Eventually I will have a bigger tank with a school of cyps... If not this lifetime, then the next.

Yes, it's limestone... My Ph raised from about 8.0 to 8.5 with the addition of the Holey rocks. The high Ph makes my fish happy :) I bought mine on Ebay... I won 3 auctions from the same seller, and he combined shipping... So it wasn't as bad....

I lost a Leleupi the same way about a month ago. I opened the top just enough for my automatic feeder while I was out of town for a week... Came home, and the poor little guy was stuck to the carpet. I have a little hole in back where the tubing goes in... I've just covered it with tape for...

Convicts are egglayers... They conceal their eggs well... Usually on the underside of a rock, or similar. I had convicts back in the day... They spawned like crazy. Mine were great parents, never ate the babies. But the sooner I removed the babies, the sooner they would lay eggs again...

You beat me to it... I saw the article and wanted to post it here... But alas, I was too slow.... Tropical fish are becoming a hot commodity! :)

In the past, I cranked up the temp to 88, added salt, and meds. I used about half the dosage of the meds... Most scaleless fish can't handle the meds... Hence, my pleco died that night. Correct me if I am wrong, but plecos can handle salt, it's the Ich meds that they can't handle. And with...

hmmm... I like the topic. My favorite fish in my tank are the Syno Petricolas. They have great personalities... I've got 3 of them... Only about a 1/2 inch each right now... But they swim all over the tank together... All through the holes of my Texas Holey Rocks. Very active. I think...

I am curious if anyone does this... I didn't like dumping 15 gallons of water down the toilet weekly from my PWC's... I remember hearing that they use fish byproducts in fertilizer and what not. So, I have started using the water to water my tomato plants and flowers in the back. I have...

Worst advice I ever got: "The only thing that matters is size... You can mix any freshwater fish as long as they are similar size..."

Kangaroo meat? :) Probably can't find too much of that in the States....
