Hi guys - it has been a bit but I fell out of the hobby after having to breakdown my fish room ahead of a move. After 2 years, I'm looking to get back into the hobby and cash in on the big tank my husband promised me!
Ideally, I'd love a 5' or 6' long tank. If anyone is looking to unload a...
Here ya go! They're not showing good color presumably from the stress of being moved to a transition tank (while I break their usual tanks down to be sold).
Hi guys! I need to breakdown my tank set-up prior to us putting our place on the market and have the below up for sale. I'd love to keep all of this but we don't have anywhere to store it while our home is being shown so, sadly, I must part with all of this.

Hi guys -
My husband and I are moving and I have to breakdown my fish room. I've used this battery/power back-up for my tanks to protect against power surges and back up the filtration system in the event of a power outtage. Last summer's brownout or the number of snowpocalypses we've had? No...
Hi guys! My husband and I are getting ready to sell our place and our realestate agent asked me to tear down my tank set up ("What? YOU'RE FIRED!") prior to putting our place on the market (so that the fish tank room looks bigger when it's being shown). Rather than tear things down, set them up...
I use powerheads in some of my tanks and the fish like to "exercise" by swimming against the water flow (water treadmill). Highly recommended for increased water movement to keep the tank clean and sparkly, too!
pH 7.6
Ammonia 0
Nitrates 20 (I'll work on this to get it to zero)
Nitrite 0
Temp 76 F
Weekly 30-40% water changes
I'm going to kick up the water changes and add nitrazorb and see if I cant get the nitrates down. I know they are not at a freakishly horrible level but if I can get it...
Yep, I do water changes weekly but I aologize because I have not been able to post the levels as of yet. It probably is a nitrate problem and I'm looking to put nitrazorb in my filters to see if that does the trick!
I'll check the Ph and temp tonight when I get home. Interesting suggestions about the grocery bag and simply getting the fish out of their transport bags ASAP!
I'll post the ph and temp readings shortly and thank you all for the suggestions provided up to this point!!
So for the last couple of meetings I have been trying to pick up some yellow labs to add color to my tanks. I do my usual routine of acclimating them to my tanks by leaving them in their bags in the tanks for a couple of hours so that they get used to the water temperature and then add them to...
Laxison is a combination of Lacrosse (lax, for short) and Allison. My friend came up with it when I was in high school and trying to figure out an AIM screenname for myself. I guess it stuck!
