Flourite looks nice, but it is very hard to clear the water after setup. The stuff reminds me of the crushed brick the Dodgers used to use on their infield, I was cleaning it out of my filter for 3...

Yes, I know Clown Loaches get big and are a schooling fish, that's why I have 6 of them, and plan on rehoming them, if and when they out grow the tank. I also know all about Discus as I have a 100g...

36x15x20 w/Rena XP3
5 BST, 8 CT, 5 CL, 1 BNP
And I know the Clowns will out grow the tank. They will be moved in a few years into a larger tank at that point.

Looking to add a couple medium size (3" to 5" max) centerpiece fish, something with a little flash or color. I am stocked with small groups of Black Skirt Tetras, Cardinal Tetras, Clown Loaches and...

OK, I have kept Discus for 4 or 5 years now. Before I knew any better, I kept 2 in a 50g tank @ 80 deg.f with 5 Roseline Sharks a small school of Clown Loaches, and 2 BNP for 3 years with no...

Had no problem with my Discus/Community tank at 80 F, and they were quite healthy, three years and never sick.

If they were really full grown, they wouldn't be able to move in a 22g tank.

How many BNP can I put in my 55g.? I have 2 (2-3 inch) small ones right now and so far they both look like females.

I have 4 in a 25g. with platties, swordtails, and a BNP and they behave pretty well. They mostly scavenge at the bottom, only climbing up to feed if I'm late with dinner. I've never seen them chase...

My rummies and cardinals both swim at or below the middle of my tank, but the rummies school like crazy. The cardinals have split into two groups, one in the plants, one near the wood, and neither...

Yep, charcoal will eventually remove what the water change doesn't.

If you want to kill two birds with one stone, replace your Rena intake and heater with a Rena Smartheater. It is black and eliminates two unsightly things in your tank with one that disappears...

You've got some beautiful angels!:1luvu:

Great looking tank!

Great looking tank!!!thumbs2:

Found that out the hard way. They are really fast and skittish and can bruise their noses or worse, really easy when you clean or have small kids around the tank, but they are one of my favorites...

I have the spot and a plan to semi build-in a 6'x2'x2' tank and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the TruVu Aquasystem. The ease of use and the fact that all the water is contained inside...

I'd like to know what you think about it. I have 2 XP3 with 150w smartheaters on each and love them. They take up less space, replacing 2 things with 1 making it less cluttered as well as blending in...

I like the wood and plants but the heaters look funny running perpendicular to the wood. I would maybe hide them a little so they don't create as much of IMHO, an eye sore.

I'd like to hear more on this too. I thought I had a pregnent plattie and sword, but it's been almost two months and they never popped out babies, so I started feeding less and they're getting...

Great looking tank and Ram!thumbs2:

Love your tank, any whole tank pics since the addition of the wood, rummys and rams?

Great looking tank! thumbs2: How is that in-tank filter working for you? How often and how are you servicing it?
Thanks,
Bill

I used the tank water in 5 gal. food service buckets they sell at Smart & Final and filled them about 1/2 way. They have tight fitting lids to keep the splash hazard down. I was just moving across...

Would love to raise my own trout, but would need to cool the water, etc. plus it might not even be legal. They sure are cool to watch in the wild.
