tank still avail?

zip code? im over in new york thanks

im sure other users on this forum would give your fish a good home rather random craigslist

huh? no no lol its not a real tank its all hypothetical and not discus.. just a generic 10 inch fish... i mean i would think width would be more beneficial to an extent...

hello all, ive decided i think it would be interesting to discuss a topic that is very broad but legitimate.... i want to hear all input on the matter of the age old question... 50 gallon 36x18 vs 55 gallon 48x13 which 1 is better for a fish with the generic blueprint of 10inch full growth...

didnt even realize you were askin for beginner level.... my apology

agree 100% calling your mother names via the web is a bit overboard.... i know i would not like to read a post from my daughter saying please help my retard father.... as for the answer your searching for you get further with sugar than salt.... try a more peaceful aproach

couldnt agree more... be very careful with what you choose, id even look into the juripari and balzani species as these are beautiful and can be milder tempered.. salvini and blue acaras are really a hit or miss

in short , it looks like no matter what tank size you get or filtration setup and equipment you get the same attention and maintinance will be called for....

i mean in theory more filtration does increase biological surface through extra media which means cleaner water the problem is your stock seeing as some fish dont tolerate strong current ... i mean theres really no way around water changes, i think everyone can agree its essential ..... so yes...

i mean i would assume a mystery would mean that the cause could be anything, i just read it leaches... wether or not it does, hey id rather just stay away and play it safe, ive found better alternatives...

+1 with the pill box idea.... my thought that larger would be more stable is based simply on the fact i believe a larger amount of water would take larger quantity of heat, time, or chemical to change things such as temp and ph rendering them easier to handle... for instance if the PH up bottle...

well played good sir.... rebuttle is warrented... lol

i agree , theres a difference in frequently disagree and going as far as to correct me on absorb or consume...

dude your 2 for 2 when it comes to provoking an arguement with me.. i didnt say i believed it i said that , studies are saying it... studies also say tv is bad for you but theres 1 in every hospital room... consuming and absorbing are we going to get technical now?

has to be an old book , recent studies show old carbon when it over absorbs actuallly starts leaching ammonia back into the water where as biomedia is more porus and the absorbtion is greater, just my 2 cents though, to each there own lol

lets just all agree that it depends on personal opinion.... im sure we all have healthy tanks so one mans challenge is another mans piece of cake.... apologies if i came off bickering....

thank you...

+1 i agree with you... but theres always 1 person who has to disagree with the masses and use inteluctual language and analogies to proove something... its annoying honestly..

dude argue with yourself... as for your wheel analogy... no not just weight... size, slope, weight, material, inner diameter, all have an impact since you want to display such intellectual rebuttals... have a good one

be careful with rocks.. some alter ph levels...

again... i didnt mention ammonia .. nor did me saying "spikes" pertain to ammonia... theres temp spikes if a heater fails, ph spikes with water changes... your right they both roll downhill however 1 rolls down quicker... size matters in every aspect of life and aquariums are no different...

should be more than enough... good luck!

theres always 1 person who tries to re invent the wheel... for years veteran tank owners have said small tanks water chemistry can change quicker due to smaller water volume.. that goes for tempeture as well... right away you jump to overstocking issues to try and proove something.. theres more...

ok so if you dont feel safe with that , thats fine , play it safe as for rainbows i love bosemani rainbows.. 2-4 of those would be beautiful.....
