aquariums

Do you have one of those "perfect ides" for a tank floating around in your head? Seems like I'm always coming up with "perfect ideas" for crazy displays- you know, like biotopes, specialized systems for particular fishes...but I never seem to get to all of them. I don't think I'm at all...

When we are designing and constructing our aquariums, I sometimes wonder if we consider if we are building them for "the long run" versus "the short run."In other words, are we creating an aquarium that's designed from the start to be a showpiece, perhaps developed for a competition or temporary...

I was fortunate to visit the large aquarium of a friend of mine recently, which I hadnt seen in some time. The aquarium was beautiful, with crystal clear water, lush growth of plants, and happy, active fishes. It caused me to reflect on the fact that, every time I visit a successful...

I had an idea I thought was interesting and was hoping to get some nice discussion about it. I was poking around craigslist while looking for a summer project and came upon a 70G bow front. I've never had a bow front aquarium but have seen them occasionally. The bow makes viewing fish a bit...

Has anyone found 5 Gallon Aquariums useful? If so what do you use them for? Considering getting some before the $1.00 per Gallon sale ends. Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I noticed that someone was selling a large acrylic aquarium on here this morning and thought that some of you might like to see my you tube video on an acrylic aquarium that I bought on craigs listing. Video shows the tools required to restore a scratched acrylic. If you have any...

15 years and never had an ich problem. Guess time caught up with me. Apperantly it killed my Elioti before I even noticed it was present. I read through a previous thread that is now closed (Ich in my 150), and I am now crankin up the heat. I added a little more salt, but the salt I use is...

This thread, in particular MAB's second post, http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?p=70921#post70921 got me to thinking once again about the possibility of using rainwater in one or more of my aquariums. I know that some folks find it very helpful in breeding corys...

I'm not looking for anything fancy (no wood frames or canopies) but back in the day I knew people who fabricated custom aquariums to spec. Does anybody know anyone in the area who might do this? I'm currently looking at the ADA tanks, which are quite nice but pretty expensive...and the...

Anyone ever heard of these?? I'm looking at one to possibly buy. It's a nice size and looks good (from pics) but is pricey. It's supposedly solid oak as opposed to particle board and is supposed to be very "high end." But I can't find out much about it online . . .
