The rubbermades seemed to be a good place for them to live but not being able to see my fish easily was kind of sad. I bought black, opaque rubbermades for the move.

My turtle (a sawback map...

Sorry I probably worded that weird. My turtle came with me when I moved. I had him set up in one of those rubbermade bins with a heating pad. I looked up how to keep him comfortable on the trip...

So it is even smaller than a traditional 300G wide?

72"L x 36"W = 2592 sq in

None at all. :yipes:

Both a 300 gallon and 300 gallon wide have pretty much the same floor area.

300 wide (96Lx30Wx24T) vs 300 tall (96Lx24Wx30T)

Wide = 96"×30" = 2880 sq in
Tall = 96"×24" = 2304 sq in

Never again. I had to move with only a 3 weeks notice. I packed what I could with me, including my pets (including fish) and left everything else. I found a moving company with great reviews to get...

It's nice to be back. Luckily all of my fish seemed to have made it through just fine. They have been living out of rubbermades for too long.

That makes me sad. Poor pea puffer.

I wouldn't keep gar in a 40G even to grow them out it is much too shallow and gar are jumpers. Shovelnose grow fast and a 6 inches long is already almost to big for the 40G breeder. A breeder is only...

The shovelnose is way too much fish for a 40G, let alone thinking about adding a gar to the mix. Why buy such expensive fish and then not take care of them?

No, they would be a snack for the bumblebee catfish or the red tail shark.

I recently moved and lost all of my tanks to a bad experience with a moving company. But I am glad to be back.

After weeks of trying my Otos in my 10 gallon are finally eating veggies besides seaweed. I finally pretty much boiled the veggies to death to get them to take notice.

Sounds lovely it is hovering right about 10°F here. Curse the northern hemisphere at least for the next 3-4 months.

I started doing some research and I plan to be in the stacks all of today so I will look more into this. I believe it is very possible for the virus to be transmitted across species and that the...

I will have had him a year come January and he has always been this color. I was wondering if he could be sick or just a different color.
He lives in my ten gallon with 4 other otos and guppies....

Pretty much why I assumed I had really hard water. Right outside of town is the entrance to the largest gallium mine in the state.

I would assume calcium because we have a ton of limestone and the town I live in is sitting on top of a massive primarily limestone cave system.

I test my tanks water 24 hours after every water change and it always hovers around 8.2-8.4. My tap pH is about 8.4-8.6. I figured I had hard water from the amount of build up I have to scrape off my...

That is what I thought. I measure the TDS of a system over time to determine which time of year introduces the most particulates/contaminates to a system. Where I live the TDS spikes in the early...

I took a suggestion and grabbed a TDS reader from my GA lab (with permission) and tested my aquarium water. My tap water came in at 242ppm and my tanks came in at:
1G: 280ppm
5G: 249ppm
10G:...

NOOO! I can remember what he is known for but not his name!

I took this from another reply you made.

I would definitely rehome the bala sharks they are a schooling species and you would need at least 6 which is way to much fish for your tank....

I am not positive but my test strips for gH went to 250ppm and my reading went beyond that. I dont have anyway to test kH. Every week I am scraping off a thick layer of precipitates off my filter and...

My pH is 8.4 in my tanks. Is that too high? Most sites cited a pH of 8 as the maximum.
