Thank you very much. I'm going to put a longer bit of air tubing on there in the morning (as the tank lights are now off) and put it towards the bottom of the tank. Thanks again! :22:

hey everyone,
I've just put a DIY CO2 reactor I made from following forum directions into my tank. I've just got one question: Where is the best spot in the tank to put the diffuser? Mid level,...

Okay! Thanks to everyone for the input. I'm glad we got the lighting thing sorted out. Next thing to do is to put up my DIY CO2 from an old tank and get that going.


Thanks again :22:

:hmm3grin2orange: Oh boy. Now we're all confused!

Yes, the bulbs I was using were 15w which are equal to 60w incandescent bulbs. Now, I've downgraded to 10w (equal to 40w) bulbs.

Here is my hood:

No wonder I'm experiencing such a booming bloom of algae then. I'm going to fix the lighting and slap on a diy co2-reactor while I'm at it. Glad to have you guys around :22:

Thanks for the quick reply, rich. I guess I'm a bit confused with my lighting setup. I figured it because one of the bulbs covered one half of the tank with another covering the other half that it...

Hey everyone,
So in my tank I'm currently having a really large algae problem. I've tried reducing light amounts and made sure not to overfeed my fish. I've also introduced 3 otocinclus vestitus...

haha! Very cool! Not sure if it was his shirt reflecting on the water or not but it looked like lasers may have been used as a directional device. Either way it's still really cool to see. Maybe I'll...

Smack them upside the head and then direct them to the AC. At the very least get them to read the primer so they can understand a little of what they're doing to these creatures.

I too left my fish for 9 days last summer. I left some of those plastic daily vitamin containers with the right amount of food for them in each day so that the friend I had feeding them had no...

I just tied the sucker back down. Not the prettiest fix for sure at the moment but the fish don't seem to mind...after all isn't that the most important part ? thumbs2:

oh god, I hope not. Guess I'll be tying it back down tomorrow. This same piece of wood was logged before but dried out over a 6 month period of not being used ::sigh::

Gorgeous fish you have there thumbs2:

Hey everyone,
This is a question born of my being lazy:hmm3grin2orange:

I'm working on sinking a piece of boiled driftwood in my tank. I had it tied to a few "aquarium stones" with fishing line...

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! thumbs2:

Hey everyone,
It's been quite a while. After a lengthy move, a change of jobs, and starting my MS I'm going to be getting back into the hobby. I look forward to talking with everyone again and...

Thanks to everyone for the great replies. I think I'm going to err on the side of caution here and keep the Betta tank separate from the main group. Looking forward to my first somewhat large tank...

All beautiful, Rich

Hey everyone,
So, I've been job hunting and all that jazz recently and finally found something decent. As such I'm going to be moving into a new apartment. The only problem here is that the way the...

Thanks a lot for the quick reply! I don't want to overfeed them! I'll be taking your advice thumbs2:

Hello all,
A while back when I was doing research on African Dwarf Frogs I found out that it is best to feed the little guys (or girls) every other day with a high quality frozen food or frog...

Nice setup! Best of luck with it! Danios are a lot of funthumbs2:

Welcome to the AC:22:

Congrats, LR! Thanks for sharing some great pics thumbs2:
