ideas

OK so I have a 75 gallon African cichlid tank that I have been fighting with for months to get clear, it has been cloudy since day 1, my water tests fine, all my fish are fine and have never lost a fish in this tank, I'm running to whisper 60s and recently bought a marineland magnum 350 that I...

Hello, My mom has a 2-3 year old Senegal parrot, Cocoa, that she can no longer care for. :( My mom is 76 and in poor health. She asked me to help her find him a new home. (I can't take him, as I have 6 cats who would enjoy having fresh poultry for dinner :eek:) We have contacted several bird...

Hey, I was wondering if you guys could give me ideas on how to stock my 125... Also how many african cichlids could I keep in it? I really like mubuna and peacocks,and haps, but I'm not really interested in really aggressive ones.

I have a few fish (and I'm picking up some more at AquaMania) that naturally are from high flow rivers and all the research I have been able to do says they need "highly oxygenated" water to thrive and/or spawn. I've also been searching through the internet for ideas on how to increase...

So my GF has a Calico cat she has had since a kitten. She is about to move where she can no longer have a cat and as much as it breaks her heart she has to get rid of her. Im allergic and have a dog that does not agree with cats otherwise I could and would do more myself. With that said we have...

I am looking for a ideas on how to make or what to use for a canopy for a 75G no brace. I have even considered making a faux brace just for the glass tops to sit on.

Just picked up a 12g nano cube from a friend at work who is voluming up. Couldn't pass up a good deal! Now, what to stock it with? I was thinking about shellies, but I admit no knowledge with these little guys. So, I thought I'd throw it out to the group for ideas. Killies are also on my list of...

I have a 55g mixed Malawi tank and recently purchased a 46g tank with thoughts of a planted tank and rich colorful cichlids. Any thoughts or advice?:confused:

I have an empty 65g, what should I put in it? It has a XP3 filter and a 36" Marineland Reef Ready LED light and a Cora Life T5 double florescent. The tank was treated with copper at one time. I don't know how much the silicon retains copper.

thanks to Tony's fabulous yellow labs, I'm now on a bit of a mbuna kick. I currently have these in my 45 gallon tank with one male blue orchid peacock -- who's not really digging the new guys and looks sort of out of place. So I'm going to remove him. I can leave the tank as a lab colony OR I...

I just got my 75 gallon home and before I get it all set up I need a stand for it. I'm sure I can build one with no problem, my question is what things should I make sure I have on it? 1 door or 2? What are things you like in your stands? If you have built one tell me things to look for or do...

Heres a few photos for those that asked: XP-E leds with a 1100ma driver. This is my newest one. Lows and HD didn't have enough of the nylon leds mounted on intel cpu coolers. (from ebay for $26 for a lot of 12) Driver and dimmer mounted on the rack...

Hi all, Any ideas for a small mix for my 16? Or would upgrade to 36 for the right mix:) currently have a stocked 55 and 15 doing well. Just want ideas for the new tank that is now empty (gave away the single zebra that was in there) TIA.. And TGIF:) Sent from my iPhone using...

I was fortunate enough to win a 90g tank setup donated by the Monster Aquaria Network. I currently have a 55g community setup that I will upgrade to this 90g tank. I currently have a few tetras, rasboras, a school of cories, a couple of fancy plecos, one discus, and a few random fish...

Hi, Have an extra 40g breeder and would really like to set up a new world tank. Are any of the apisto species good candidates for colony/harem setup? Could I have a pair of dwarf acarara species and an apisto pair? Any ideas would be welcome. I also have water that is a ph around 7.8 and...

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 I have a 40L with about 9 Orange laser cories, 1 lone cardinal tetra, and a male blue ram. Everyone else did not make the move....oh and some plants. I am cleaning up the basement tonight and hopefully tomorrow setting up the 125. Its a sump, titanium heater, and a emp 400 on it. I was...

Probably a good bit of crossover here, but... http://www.laketang.com/showthread.php?162-Confused-about...

Looking for interesting Old World options for a 40 breeder. Maybe shellies of some sort plus ???? Or cyps??? How big do Calvus get?? Open to suggestions . . . Could a maylandi peacock colony work? (I have a kandeense colony in a 45 with great success)
