I was surprised when the first one showed up since the males and females were segregated at the lfs. All I can figure is sometime before that they had a chance to mingle. I agree it seems strange...

Thanks everyone. We're pretty happy with the way the tank is turning out.

My daughter is doing very well with it. I've taught her about the nitrogen cycle, good bacteria versus bad bacteria,...

I've lost track of the number of water changes I've done. Levels were checked daily throughout the cycle. Water changes, about 2 gallons at a time, were done at the first sign of any elevated...

Looks great, I'm jealous. I've been trying to find some of this locally for 2 months now. None of the shops within a reasonable distance carry any. I may have to resort to mail order.

I forgot to mention the other fish...

Sometime in the first month, one of the neons disappeared. I've looked around, but can't find his body anywhere. The rest of the tetras are fine.

It's been a few months since I posted. In January I happened across a great deal on an 80 gallon tank that came with lots of rocks, several pumps, lights, and a complete 10 gallon setup too. The...

The buyers know the seller can't leave negative feedback, but I'd say an overwhelming percentage know nothing about the excessively high minimum for the detailed seller rating.

Personally, when...

I have a Fedora Linux server at home that I use for hosting web sites. I could probably use Linux for several other things, but my work issued laptop comes with Windoze, so I still use that most of...

There are some great deals on Craigslist these days. Good catch!!!

Does floss work better than the filter sleeves from Magnum?

Great, thanks to both of you. I'll go ahead and get a few maintenance parts for the filters I've got and save the money for fish and plants.

I remember snow like that in NH when I was growing up. We had to walk through canyons to get to the house and could walk up the snow banks onto the roof. Can't say I miss it. What we're getting...

Also, if I did go with them, I'm looking for input on what media to use.

From reading, it seems like a good choice for the 350 is to use the basket with BioMax or something similar.

For the...

I happened across a second hand package of an 80 gallon tank along with a bunch of stuff. Included were a Magnum 350 and Emperor 400. I've already tested the 350 and it works fine. I haven't...

We've got somewhere in the 2-3 inch range up here and it's still falling. Today was already a teacher work day, so my daughter was staying home anyway. We got an email that work is on a normal...

It appears certain trim levels of the aquarium come with a CD-ROM that's got some interesting stuff. Since that level of tank wasn't purchased, the OP is asking if someone who did spend the extra $...

I learned to drive in an area with plenty of snow. Now that I'm living in the South, I try to avoid driving in the snow. Too many who don't understand that 4 wheel drive doesn't make one's pickup...

I feel your excitement. We're supposed to get a bit overnight too. It'll be fun to see the kids get a chance to play in the white stuff.

Yup, a regular heat wave! :hmm3grin2orange:


Thanks. It's going to be a little while before it's up. "Some assembly" was a bit tongue in cheek, the pile is really just raw wood.

As requested, pics follow. I took a closer look at the stand tonight. I do not think I'm going to use it. The top and a few of the other joints shows sign that the inner particle board has...

Clean tanks and store.

Staff who know what the heck they're talking about, won't sell you what you don't need, and who help people rather than standing around chatting with buddies, yacking on...

Huh? You keep yellow labs in with your fish?
