    At a loss :-(

    A HOB is a filter that hangs off the back of the tank. Is your filter is the little blueish thing with a little filter on the bottom and some carbon rock on the other side. has 2 suction cups on it?

    Quick temperature question.

    I'm pretty sure it's mechanical heat since all I did was add a extra big canister filter. The other one will be taken off once the FX6 builds up some good stuff. The tank is super clean and clear just freaked about the heat. The temp in the room is 76 and the ceilings are are low.

    A heater doesn't take away heat though.... Doesn't have anything to do with a heater. I don't even have one in my tank.

    Quick temperature question.

    I just noticed my temp on my 125gal African cichlid tank is around 83-4 degrees. I just put on a new Fluval fx6 since my other canister filter that's on my tank wasn't up to the task. I keep my temp always around 80-1 on the tank with the old canister filter and the wet/dry sump filter. I'm...

    Large Bala shark delema

    The shark let me measure him, not 12in, right around 10in. I have a 55 that shares the same filtered water as my 40b. I Emptied out the 55 and moved the shark and the ghost knife in there. I don't think he likes how little deep the 55gal is compared to the 40b

    Large Bala shark delema

    Well a lot of people are posting videos and thread about how they're mixed tanks work well. Balas with Africans and etc. I have a 6 foot long tank, hence why I was seeing what people thought. All the videos I see of balas working well with cichlids Its always when there's 3 or more. I know how...

    Large Bala shark delema

    Okkkk my wife is gonna kill me but I found a 150 gallon that I can just use my filters and lights on. $125 and holds water. I'd have to get rid of the 40b and maybe my tube tank. i dunno what I'm gonna do with all my smallish tropical fish in the tube tank though. Firstworldproblems

    Large Bala shark delema

    Did you read the thread? I stated he's only in the 40b because his tank broke. The jewel has been with the Habs and others for over 5 years with zero problems in the 125gal.

    Large Bala shark delema

    Oh I know how african cichlids can be. I've had them for over 8 years. I've had most of mine for atleast 5 years in this tank. What's funny is my jewel cichlid is the nicest one in my tank lol.

    Large Bala shark delema

    So might be doable if he had other bala Sharks with him. Out of all the cichlids only 3 of them are aggressive in the tank but I understand what you're saying. Might just have to sell my 75gal tube tank to fund a 150gal or so for this bala and ghost knife.

    Large Bala shark delema

    Water parameters arent that off I gotta say, atleast between my tanks. Both tanks have been going strong for over a year with zero problems and I keep my water about the same from tank to tank. I jus keep my cichlid tank a degree hotter. I've had this bala for a few years now and he looks...

    I have one large 12in bala shark. He had 3 brothers but he out grew them all is the lone shark now. He was in a 75 gal but that tank is no longer with us so he's been living happily so far in a 40B for the last few months. I have a well stocked 125 gallon african cichlid tank (25 or so ranging...

    Electric Blue Acara

    I was given one by somebody that didn't want him. He was tiny and I had no clue what he was at the time. I put him in my 125gal planted african cichlid tank and he's still in there now, year or so later. I now know he shouldn't be with them but he's doing fine so I'll leave him. But these are...

    My tanks. 125g cichlid, 75g tube, 40g and 20g planted tanks

    Got my 55gal tank up and running in my room. It's for one of my cichlids that just gets beat up like mad, and in dividing it also for the mama cichlids and a section for the baby's. Right now Orange (the cichlids name, he's a red zebra but is a real wuss) is in my 20gal with my one big Black...
