Thanks, that at lease saves me $6

Wow guys, thanks for the quick response. The problem with that is, to get it off I might dammage it and then I am stuck without a working filter. At least now it only drips every minute so I can keep a towel under it and change out the towel daily.

Did a search and found out that the o-rings cost $4, then they want $10 shipping. I can get these at the hardware store for much cheaper. Can anyone tell me what size o-ring I need before I damage mine to check the size.

Thanks guys, don't have a pic, yes I have closed the top of the tank. The tigers have pretty much left him alone this evening. My rainbow is 7 years old, next to the pleco who is also 7 he is the hardiest fish in the tank.

I have reciently purchased a rope fish for my 125 gal, actully had him for about 10 days now. When I first put him in he went and hid in a black filter tube that had fallen off the filter. He was there while I cleaned the tank and then I put it back. Lately he stays at the top in the corner...

It is pretty old, got it a a garage sale a year and half ago, probably is the o-rings. Just need to know where I can get some cheep

I can't believe I am happy to say that the leak my tank has is from the filter. I thought it was comming from the tank itself. Anyhow, it is leaking from the handle of the biowheel spraybar. Has anyone experienced a leak from this point. What is the cure? Do I just need to replace o-rings...

Hello, I was wondering how may watts my setup is. I have a normal sized heater, normal sized air supply for the air-stones, two Emperior 400 filters, two 3-foot long lights. I know that is not much of a discription, but I am wondering when everything is turned on am I getting upwords of...

Yes, I am thankful to this site for helping me out in this. Since I posted this morning I have completely set up my tank. I must say that I had no cloudiness whatsoever. Looks beautiful. One thing I noticed it that without the lights and all the water in it, the sand looks light brown. But...

I thought I would post this for those of you who have been looking for sand and wondering what type to use and where to get it. First off, read this, it helped me to know what to look for http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/sand.php I am writing this to keep you from wasting as much time...

Thanks for all your help, I finally got some pool filter sand at my local pool supply place that looks white. The stuff at HD was not good at all.

I was wondering if flagstone from the local stone store would be bad for my fish. It is light gray on one side and dark gray on the other, the guy called it silver stone or something like that.

Where are people getting the white sand? Is there another type of sand that is white that is just as good?

I have clown loaches, pictus cats, bala sharks, leporanious facitus, pleco, tiger barb, headstand, rainbow shark.

Hello, I have looked and looked for answers to questions on pool filter sand and have not found the answers I am looking for so here is my post. Is all pool filter sand brown? I have bought some from HDepot and it is a dark tan. I don't know if I want the cardboard look on the bottom of my...

Thanks, wow it will be very hard to find the leak as it stopped leaking as soon as I began removing water, but I can do that, trial and error I guess until I finnaly get it.

8O My tank has a small leak in the rear corner, so small that it drips about once every 5 min. I went out and bought some silicone for aquariums. Now how do I repair it. Do I... A. Take apart the whole tank, get the silicone off all edges of the glass, glue it back together and resilicone...

Hey thanks, I appreciate it. I will check into those books as well. I am very frugal, I take my time when getting something expensive so it will be a while before I really get started. I looked for a larger tank (currently own a 55 fw tank) for 4 years before I found the 125 that I got at a...

I got that book, going to try to read it over the weekend

That's too bad, thank goodness they are so cheep. Can you breed anything in a saltwater tank?

I am thinking about not going back there, though they have a pretty large sellection of fish

Good idea Thanks for the advice on the crabs, I thought that was a bit much myself. And the sand, I just got the feeling that she was trying to make a sale.

Yeah, I am in Oklahoma and I don't think they do either. I will check that site out.

Another thing she told me is that i need one hermit crab per gallon, now that I didn't believe my tank is 125 gallons. I said, maybe I would get less and let them breed. She said that they won't breed in your tank. Is this true, can you get the hermits to breed in captivity. I would think...

Thanks guys, I thought as much, when a salesperson is overzealous about something it usually means they are streaching the truth. Where can I get cheep sand though?
