ideas

Hey Guys! Im cycling a 75 gallon. I was wondering if you have any stocking ideas/ suggestions. This is a non- planted aquarium. no cichlids or discus.

I like a good mix of botanicals...I really do. And of course, we offer a big variety of them! However, one of the things I realized is that it's never great to have your tank filled with too many different botanicals. Why? Well, while it's true that in nature, on first examination, you'll see...

The plastic hinges on glass tops usually break over time. Besides duct tape, any other methods for hinging? Also, what is an alternative handle idea to flip open the glass top door? Does anybody have a spare plastic handle laying around? Thanks!

I'm deep into the planning on my second new aquarium in my home. It's a great feeling, I'm now in that most exciting phase of the planning process (in my warped opinion, anyways): the "Which idea do I try?" phase! On the surface, this seems like a really great place to be- and it is-but it's...

I have a group of 12 tanks on racks (4x 30 breeders, 4x 40 breeders, 4x 50 breeders) the 30's are on the top shelf, 40's in middle, 50's on bottom. I have matten filters in all 12 tanks, along with sponge filters, and HOB's on a few of the tanks. I try semi religiously to do regular water...

So my family is probably moving this summer; the house we are trying to buy has a huge basement that my mom is giving me for my own fishroom! I know it stands 5'6" tall, and is very wide so no lack of space for my tanks. To keep things organized, I will have multiple bins labeled as things like...

Rarely do i get the opportunity to restock any of my tanks but now i do. Looking to get some ideas from you guys. I've been thinking about giving a bartoni another shot or may H. Tamosopoensis but not sure if the Tamos would be ok in a 75 long term. I'd like to keep something i've never kept...

I was just looking up "how to" information for Hamburg mattenfilters and I realized that this would be a great thing to do a workshop on - maybe at a member's house, or at one of the upcoming meetings. I also thought that building racks/stands would be another good workshop. Maybe someone...

Three weeks out of town and I come back to see this on my lyonsi. Anyone have any idea what it is and how to treat. Sorry for the bad pic.

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...

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...

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.

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 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...

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?

Here's the design for my future fish room. Only the showcase side of the basement is layed out. The Quarantine, fry rearing side will be a mottled collection of tanks and racks until I'm done with with showcase side. ;) Here's the basic floor plan. At actual size, 1/4" was a square of graph...
