Hi All. Been gone awhile. My question revolves around my canister filter hoses. Due to the water flow in the hoses, my filter hoses are not very straight and are curved coming in and out of the tank...

this sounds like a bad idea. I'd feel much more comfortable with a new tank than trying this and risking not having a home for my fish if it breaks some how. I'll have to think about this. Thanks.

thanks for the quick response. You may not know this, but how do i go about taking the current frame off with the fish still in the tank? Can the tank work without the frame on there for a short...

Hi All,

I have had a 55g for almost 9 yrs. Recently I noticed that the plastic rim on the top of the tank is beginning to crack and break away from the perimeter of the tank. This is the center...

I agree that severums would be a great idea.

thats pretty impressive. What is a black skirt tetra's typical lifespan?

Hi Guys,

Over the last 6 months I have had 2 of my Aquaclear filters just shutoff. I plugged them back into the outlet and it just appears to be dead. I thought these filters were one of the best...

very nice tank ladyhobbs. How many parrots do you have now?

what a great tank and thread. Good stuff brhino

good question about being sterile. not sure the answer



water temp is 79 degrees.

My blood parrots have been laying eggs every 4 days or so for the last couple weeks!!! It's a shame the male is sterile because they are laying massive amounts of eggs. Free snacks I guess for the...

thats a nice looking tank. I always wanted one when paging through the drsfosterandsmith catolog. I would agree that bala sharks do not belong in a tank like that and I would also say that you...

I wouldn't have paid more than $150 for something like that...

whenever I see something weird on one of my fish I do a water change. I just think its best to get fresh water in there and see if it helps the recovery process, which i think it does. Just monitor...

great journal! it was fun to watch your tank and your bristlenose grow up right before my eyes. i hope you continue to keep the journal going, it was quite entertaining for the last 20 minutes.

my experience with raised scales was the result of an internal injury. Is the injured molly still eating?

lol hobbs. I asked before I checked how many I had. Sorry. I thought you were Mrs. Claus and that she would help santa understand that the middle class needs points too lol.

awww. I love my blood parrots, like I'm sure you love yours. So sorry Lady Hobbs. I hope you get another.

i use the flourish tabs. they aren't too cheap, but last around 3 months before u have to replace the tab.

Could you spare a few points for a young chap?

One problem i see with this is that a lot of people do not have common sense. Therefore they will never be able to rationalize their decisions using common sense. They use some other form of decision...

smart man northern guy. Connections were good. However I just applied force to the power switch and eventually it clicked over. Light works now. Thanks a million!

Nope, no canopy. I have the lid, then a light fixture on top of the glass, with a bio wheel filter system along the back.

I have a coralife compact flourescent fixture and as of today it will not turn on. Brand new bulbs in the fixture. The fixture is between 2-3 years old. Also, the power switch will not even budge....

So today my oscar knocked one of the lids right off the tank. I guess he is wanting more food? Trying to get to the food source? Any else deal with this? He is big and strong so I might need...
