Boy you guys are something else around here. See you around some time Good luck and Good by.

Although I do agree that this person doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about I don't think it's fair that everyone is beating him up without giving him a chance to defend himself. You...

Pretty sure that's a common pleco will get to be about 24" long full grown. I would say you have some time but I wouldn't let it stay in there after it hits about 8"

Agree 100% about the rena xp's I have three of them very happy with them.

Here's the best price I've found. $121.95 for an xp3

Epsom salt 1 tbls. per 10 gal dissolve in tank water or dechlorinated water add slowly to tank. Remove salt by doing water changes.

That's easy Oscars an inch a month for the first year.

Hi Mac, I don't have any experience with built in overflow tubes so can't help much in that area. I would imagine that it works the way you described. There is also another alternative to both the...

Hey Mac if I can help in any way just let me know.

I'm not going to argue about it. You win.

I think an 18gal would be a little on the small side for a sump on a 100gal tank. I wouldn't go any smaller than a 30 remember that the more the sump holds the better but that the sump is only about...

Don't dose everyday just use it when needed. I add it at the same time as the new water.

Yes the sump or wet/dry is an extra tank I used a 30gal the water is gravity fed to it and then pumped back to the main tank.

Here ya go these are some of the links I used when I built mine.

I'm a sump fan have one on my 125 works really well but it is supplemented with two rena xp3 cans. Is your new tank drilled? if not you would need to use an overflow box. Mine is a do it yourself...

About ten minutes. :hmm3grin2orange: Just kidding but it doesn't take cons long to spawn all you need is a male a female and some water.

Since my daughter is on trying to defend me I will step in and see if I can't explain this mess. Quoted below are the three replies that set me off.

The first two make it sound like because I or...

Your kidding right this is exactly what I'm talking about.

So in other words because I have two O's in a 125 with 4 SD's I'm wrong and your right. What a bunch of self righteous preachy people are on this forum.

Re-arranging tank items is very normal for oscars it doesn't necessarily mean they are getting ready to spawn. How do you know you have a male and female? Have they spawned before?

The number and amount of required water changes should be determined by watching the nitrate readings in the tank. You need to try and keep the nitrates below 20ppm 10ppm would be better.

My...

Well I hate to say it but IMO your overstocked. Going to be difficult to stay ahead of the nitrates. Do you take water readings? HITH is caused by bad diet and bad water conditions. If i understand...

At 5" O in a ten gal is a little tight. I would say you'd want at least a 30. Why can't you treat him in the tank he's in? What size tank is he in? Why are you treating him?

So you took the fish because it was free but you don't like them. So now you can feed it to your other fish because you really don't want it. Makes perfect sense.
...

A 36gal tank is too small for one jd let alone 2 with an O you need to upgrade tank size before you think about adding fish. For those three you will need at least a 90gal a 125gal would be better.

The obvious question that I didn't see anyone ask is how big is the tank? You need at least 55 gal for one 75 would be better.
