gallon

Bought a new tank over the weekend, well new to me at least, it's a 84x24x30 standard 265, was originally used at salt and had some salt crude on the back of it, got the stand inside and just finished cleaning the inside of the tank and painted the back black as well. Filtration with be from...

Figured I would start posting here some of the work I've started doing. I will give a small background on the story... I was looking for a 300 gallon to replace my 210 and a 125 to try and cut back on maintenance. After a while I found this online and bought it (250 gal). I showed up at the...

We just picked up our 55 gallon tank today. Thankfully all our fish are still small and getting along so we are in no hurry to set it up. We are planning on running our aquaclear 70 from our current 29 gallon AND an aqueon 55/70. I want to run 2 filters because our current setups are doing so...

Ok here are some of the pictures I took of some of the work this past weekend. Its not done yet because my pump quit on me so I ordered another. Going with the Rio 32 HF. This is also the first time I modded my own sump. It was an old sump from the bow front tank I bought a year ago. I will give...

I was given a 55 by a friend if mine who had no use for it (not a fish person) the middle supporting the top frame had been cut off of it and its cracked on one corner...doesn't hold water at all...just ice right now...my question is how difficult is it to replace the frame and reseal it? Sent...

Is it just me or do others have a problem with the glass 2 1/2 gallon tanks leaking? I had 5 of them over the years and they all leak at one time or another. What am I doing wrong. They leak when I fill them over 3/4 s full. I'm looking for away to replace them with something else.

the white rock in the back is only temp, just weight down some wood, this is tank with all equipment, all fits nice but you see the powerhead for the CO2 a little too much need to finish planting tomorrow, may even try a little stauro porto velho on the right hand foreground, not sure if the...

Before I fill, please advise

I'm not sure on the final gallon but I was thinking about building a plywood tank once we get a house sometime soon, the wife is looking for 3 bed 2bath....I'm just looking for a basement for this bad boy lol. The size would be 16' x 4' x 4' my first problem would be with that I would use 2...

Just pulled 20 or so of these out of a dumpster from a drywall job across the street today. Basically pristine (except for the labeling) and fish-room approved (all buckets carry the SAM Seal - OOUREK! OOOUREK! - of Approval) (Quiet down boy or the landlord's going to have Fish and Wildlife up...

This is a really cool idea found it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUlgd0WGQfU&list=LLGI3itKFkbVs1di0T-b9T0w&feature=mh_lolz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUlgd0WGQfU&list=LLGI3itKFkbVs1di0T-b9T0w&feature=mh_lolz

While doing a water change on Sunday, I tripped over a bucket and dumped probably a gallon of water on the carpet. I sopped it up quickly with towels and used a little hand-held wet vac (used for pet messes) to suck up some remaining water. I came home last night and there is a moldy-type odor...

:confused:Since Central American cichlids are generally territorial and and 55 gallon has a base of of 576 square inches and the 40 breeder is 648 square inches, a 40 breeder seems like it would be more appropriate for a medium sized (4-6 inch) CA cichlid than a 55 gallon. Whats your opinion on...

I have 36 watts of standard flourescent. I only have crypts in it right now. Would Java Ferns, Java Moss & Anubias Nana be good for this setup?

So like Franny, I am doing a tank for GWAPA's Dutch aquascaping contest. Here is a shot of it as I get started. After the photo, I reworked the unbalanced substrate at the front and trimmed several of the plants down to shape out the areas. Still havent figured out what plant I want to use in...

Bought it yesterday, thinking to run just one of the lights and use it for freshwater - anybody have any experience with these or suggestions to share regarding modifications, etc? Always liked the look of these, suppose I'll have to get ahold of an 'Edge" unit as well to further sate my...

I broke down and am upgrading my cube to a 50 gallon so I can keep my rainbow babies for a while longer! :-) Question about filter. I currently have a Marineland 220 running. It's not quite enough, I don't think. Which of these two would you get instead: Marineland C-360 or Fluval 305??

I scored 3 20 longs at the Petco dollar-a-gallon sale yesterday! I had to drive all the way out to Beltsville last night, then drove through torrential rains on the way back, but I did it. Now all I need is the time to set them up.
