    Repairing 75 gallon - need advice

    Haha, yes, very very thankful I tested it out first before setting it up. Thanks for the responses. In removing all of the old silicone, can I just cut down to the corner, clean with acetone, and apply new silicone caulk or do I have to actually cut between the seams, separating the glass...

    Repairing 75 gallon - need advice

    All, Looking for some advice on repairing my 75 gallon. It's been sitting in hot Texas heat in a storage unit for a decade. Looking to set it back up. Filled it up yesterday to check for leaks and I've got a a decent leak at one of the side seams as it sat for hours with water in it the leak...

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    Update on my sick JD Well, nothing seems to have worked unfortunately. After treating with Parasite meds, peas, epsom salt, kanaplex (anti-bacterial), and Fungal cure over the past month or so, nothing seems to fix his physical issues. Jabrobro, my ~7yr old sick male JD seems to be content...

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    Happy to report that Jabrobro (Male JD) appears to be on the mend. He's swimming around with lots more control and is out and about chasing/courting his lady like old times. He is still skinny but looks to be adding weight and doesn't appear so gaunt. He's got a voracious appetite and is...

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    Great advice, thank you! I'm planning to wait out the weekend and try kanaplex next week. He doesn't appear any better after the parasite guard but I'm still holding out hope he'll turn around. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    I have some melafix on hand but is it bad to mix with the chemical meds?

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    All, Just wanted to provide a quick update. My JD is spending most of his time on his side, either directly on the sand, on plants, or on some driftwood, breathing slowly but still full of color. He does have a curve to his body as he lies down. He does still have the ability to right himself...

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    Good to heard from you Chad. He's a strong beast, hope he can pull through. Parasite Guard should be in my mailbox when I get home. I plan on dosing the tank tonight and may try soaking some of his NLS pellets in the powder. I've also read a bunch about trying to feed them a green pea to help...

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    Im completely unfamiliar with medicines on the market, but am reading that a medicine with Metronidazole could help for an internal parasite (Tetra has ParasiteGuard, API - General Cure). Any others I should look out for? I live in DC and would need to be able to snag something available at...

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    Thanks, Jon. I certainly have noticed he's gotten skinny, but haven't noticed stringy poops. I've figured he's ok since he's been eating well, but didn't think about a parasite. I'll look into options for medicated food I can pick up tonight. Thanks, David

    Sick Jack Dempsey - Need Help with Treatment

    All, My beautiful old Jack Dempsey Jabrobro has fallen ill and need some guidance from the community. I purchased him and his mate Eloise from Chad "Hawkman2000" 4.5 years ago and confirmed from Chad recently that they were both around/at least 3 years old when I got them, so they're getting...

    WTB: Big Pleco and Synos

    Wow, lots of responses here. Localzoo, you said your guy/gal only comes out at dark. I prefer a more sociable pleco, but will take him off your hands if you need to get rid of him and will be at the meeting. Otherwise, Festaedan, I'd like to snag your pond dweller. Thanks, David

    WTB: Syno Eupterus (Lace Cats)

    All, I sadly lost two of my prized syno cats this weekend after an overzealous large water change. They were my faves and I would love to get 2 or three back in the tank for old times sake. This is a 55 gallon mbuna (not very aggressive) tank with tons and tons of cover (see pic). Please let...
