to expensive for 3. $300

Staring over in the hobby after a few years away. I have a 90 gallon but no lid or light. It will be a freshwater fish only but I don't want to grow algae if I can help it. Do I go fluorescent, LED?? And what bulbs if not LED? Tank is 24" deep. Thanks, Elwood

I am going to have to get my addiction in line with my reality. I think I will wait before making the decision. Thanks for the quick responses.

So just how much do they weigh empty?

How about transporting it?

Thank you. All advices welcome.

I may have an opportunity to get a 155 gallon tank cheap. What are the pros and cons of this size? Are there things I need to be aware of, watch for??

Has anyone used the off brand canisters on ebay? For ex.. Odyssea. It looks like Ehiem but obviously isn't. Also what about Pennplax Cascade? They seem nice for the price.

thanks. the oil is a good idea.

first of all, what I like about this site as a resource is that it helps save money. Especially when you can ask seemingly unimportant questions and still get answers. I have decided to put a background on my tank. Mine is a 30 gal Oceanic cube. I know I don't want a picture but I can't decide...

nice now that I am interested in moon lighting, wich looks better white or blue? any and all recomendations welcome.

I am on ebay and I noticed a "blue light" LED submersible light bar. Also avail in white. What is this for? Does it make a nice backgroung light or what?

To save threads, I have several questions? If I use a prefilter, to keep my fry from being taken by the filter intake, will I prevent the filter media from doing its job? If particles can't reach the filter they can't be filtered, right? How long do I need to wait before I can safely assume a...

Other than to hold the light, do I need the tank cover? 30 gal mollies ghost catfish rainbow

I have the ac110 and molly fry are passing through the intake. Some actually live at the bottom of the filter media chamber long enough to be rescued. I was given a section of very course pond filter media at my LFS. We will see how it works.

I am thinking about a second tank. my first is very flexible as a community tank. I was thinking of either cichlids or pirahna. I know there is a lot of discussion about cichlids but I don't see any general pitfall advice on getting started. I also want to know if anyone has pirahna. Would you...

I have two questions. 1. What can I use to keep fry from going up the intake of my filter? (AC 110) 2. If I use a Nitra Zorb type of product in my AC filter will I prevent the bacterial growth necessary for bio-filtering? Due to the absorbtion of the ammonia.

I make sure the water is the same temp before adding it back to the tank.

Does anyone intentionally breed mollies for a certain look? We had a molly: sailfin and lyre tail - black, body orange and yellow with black spots. He was so cool. I never thought much of mollies until we found him. Well, he took the porcelain highway to a better place so now we are trying to...

Maybe if I pronounced it Missourah, they would live.

I can not keep loaches alive. I really like them. Bala Sharks either. Other than the lack of scales I can't think of why they are dying. Usually to ick. I have my tank at 78 degrees. Also, I get water droplets on the underside of my tank cover. Is that from the water heat?

My tank is a cube so it all gets the current but having it at one side does help. My plants are artificial so no worries there. Thanks everyone.

Is it bad to have a current in the tank? I mostly have mollies and rainbows.

OK. I just purchased the aquaclear 110 and it is up and running. Now I am thinking I made a mistake. I only have a 30 gal tank. At first I was thinking bigger=better. Now? Any potential problems I need to know about? And should I switch to a smaller filter.

Thank all of you for responding. I will shop at Foster and Smith unless someone knows of a cheaper online store.
