My girls wanted a new fish bowl. I had an old gum ball machine hanging around. A siliconed plexiglass bottom and a little led light on top and everyone's happy. I will post more pictures after we acquire our fish.

I had a couple of 10g tanks and made 3-d cement backgrounds for them. With the one tank I have been doing water changes 2x daily for the past 2 weeks and I am still getting high 8.8+ levels but it's taking longer to get to those levels. The second background I have been spraying it down with...

Can you over do your water changes? What I mean is, if you were able to do water changes every day what would that hurt? I have a cycled 10 gallon with a couple baby cichlids in. I get my water from my well and it is naturally hard with no chemicals. Right now it's sitting on my counter beside...

I have been spraying down my Cement background twice a day for the last two weeks. Would this help limit the amount of water changes I would have to go thru? I am thinking this would cure and harden the cement but I don't know if it also helps displace all the lime and ph rising chemicals...

I saw these lights at Home Depot and was wondering if anyone has used them to light their tank. They look like they would work well for my 90 gal. A little pricey but worth the cost maybe? I would think I would need at least two maybe 3 sets.

on Dixie Rd. just north of the 401. does anyone shop there for their fish? Tons of Africans with ok prices. Its nice and clean and the fish all look healthy. (except for a large Front that was a trade in). I think this is going to be my go to shop from now on. This place makes big als look like...

I am not sure if this is in the right section or not. I am in the middle of a new tank build as my last tank full of African Cichlids were all killed when I was without power for 8 days during Christmas. What do you think would look better in my tank? Rocks or bare sand? (there is no sand in...

For those that have built a 3-D background, How long did you wait in between each coat of cement? Did you keep the cement moist in between also? I am thinking about airbrushing acrylic paint for some depth and highlights after my last coat. Thanks

I am doing a background for my 90 gallon African Chichlid tank. My 12 year old daughter was interested in helping out so I suggested she do one for our 10 gallon tank at the same time. I went with the flatter rock look while she went with the jagged rock cliff look. During the next 2 weeks we...

I have been fish keeping for app. 20 years now and have had both salt and fresh water tanks. I had to sell my salt set up 10 years ago due to an auto accident that left me unable to maintain a saltwater set up. My last set up was a 90 gallon African with about 15 assorted cichlids. We just had...
