Had the same thoughts before getting the shrimp, they've been in there for a little over a week. All of them have found refuge in the bushel of blyxa in the middle of the tank during day time. After...

Well its been a while so its time for an update. The tank finished cycling about a week ago. Stuff was moved over which was originally in a quarantine then into my 55g. The lily pipes came and gone,...

They really should do clear plastic pipes. I've had planted tanks before but nothing to the extent of having to use pressurized CO2. Exam period definetly got to me as I rushed a little bit in doing...

After some thought, the previous set up was way over planted and had little to no "open space" (driftwood was way too big also), traded the plants for credit. The coral life fixture was giving off...

excuse the floaters and green eheim pipes. glass ware and hydro inline heater hasn't came in yet :( and I havent gotten around to skimming the surface

Feb 2: So the HC decided to melt on me, thats okay as I got them fairly cheap. So decided to forego HC carpet and now I'm doing a split of microsword and DHG. Got my CO2 canister and just ended up...

ah thanks for the headsup. Going to wait 2-3 weeks after i fully submerge the tank before adding fish to make sure i get the CO2 right.
Picked up the HC and DHG, HC is a pain in the rear to plant in...

going to look at some stones on friday, a local aquarist is shutting down his tanks so hopefully get them for a steal (considering no rock yards are open -41C winnipeg winters). Planting the HC...

Jan 31st 2013: My CO2 equipment has arrived and nothing seems broken. Damned UPS charged me 50$ brokerage fee, guess I'm going to declare items myself in the future.

Anyways here a picture of the...

After owning several community tanks with few plants, I've decided to take a dip into the high tech side of this hobby. Hoping to learn a lot from the community and to document my own struggles and...

hoping that HC will take root well in eco even if its a long shot. going to water daily with dilute solution of macros and micros or would something be more appropriate?
also tank will be CO2...

anyone have success with dry starting dwarf baby tears (HC) in eco-complete?
thanks ahead of time

So after a long day at my LFS I noticed a tank full of blue acaras and after a while of observing I decided to pick up a couple. The dominant male in the tank was one along with two females. After...

Sounds like a plan, but do you think that the 305 would be able to handle it by itself?

For the past week or so I've been working on the stand for my upcoming 55g mbuna tank and was wondering if the fluval 305 would be sufficient by itself. My current stocking list seems to be around...

I've settled on a group of mbunas made a trip down to my LFS today and they are really breathtaking, any who the tank still sits in the basement as all the local quarries are currently snowed over...

How large of a colony would you suggest and what types of community fish?

Im not sure what to choose, but I'd like a somewhat passive community tank.

After about two years running my 20g with a pair of GBR's. I've decided to upsize to a 55 gallon long. Im looking to stock it with cichlids and would like some suggestions on the stocking list.

its been a long time been busy moving to a new school and all, but all the parameters in my tank are now stable, but lately ive noticed that the fake plants and my rocks have some sort of brown hunk...

ive had fish in it for maybe a week and cycle beens going for 3 weeks

i always though drip accimulation was for marine fish guess you learn something new everyday eh ^.^
