Hey folks - We'll need a couple of able bodied folks to assist with set up this year. I'm still waiting to hear back from the hotel as to how early we can get in to access the ball room, but it would be great if we can get some folks to help set up racks/tanks, organize raffles, etc. Please...

Love to get some feedback... Where is the most appropriate or effective area to drill on a 180 gallon fish tank for a sump set up; top back, underneath side, where? I've been watching too many diy youtube videos and seeing too many options which has me confused. please HELP and tell me...

After much procrastination, I finally finished setting up my 75 over the holiday break. This is my first attempt at a planted tank--added anubias and valls. I deviated from my usual massive lace rock walls and did a minimalistic zebra rock arrangement (at $5 for 82 lbs of it--much cheaper). So...

Had to take down all my tanks (except a 3 gallon cube) about a year ago, to renovate my house to sell and move. Finally set up a new 75, planted with anubias, java fern, a couple of crypts, and banna plants, and some tetras to get things going. It's set up on a peninsula, and visible from 3...

My visit to Christine's fish room on Saturday has inspired me to try and get my room in better order. First order of business is to get an air loop system set up. At the end of the day, I will probably have somewhere around 30 outlets coming off the loop. I'm currently running an EcoPlus air...

Thinking about breeding Malawi cichlids for the fun of it. What is the minimum to optimal set up in terms of tanks and other equipment? is it like a tank rack with the following? - breeding tank (size?) - nursing tank (size?) - Fry tank (10g?) - grow tank (29g?) For those already breeding...

The cart option to order fish from me for the CCA on October 12 is now set up. Choose Local Pick Up-CCA for your orders. Check out my expected page and be ready to order any thing from that list on October 9 or 10 when I get them up on the web site. I will keep the CCA order option open until...

So I recently bought a 55 gallon aquarium at my LFS. I really want to make it an African cichlid tank, preferably lake malawi/mbuna cichlids. I have the filtration, heating and lids covered but how should I set it up? I was thinking about using slate for the rock, but I'm not sure. Also, what...

I got another free set up today. No it wasn't because I was in uniform. But I did get it from a coworker. It came with a old Fluval 403, a AC500, two power heads, a brown wood stand, two 48" fixtures, an adult Striped Raphel Catfish and some other odds and ends. Lucky me.:D

I picked up an Eco Plus 3 air pump at the meeting on Saturday (thanks again, Pete!) and I'm looking to set it up to run sponges and box filters on my spare bedroom "fish room". It will end up running about 12 devices. Pete was gracious enough to throw in the plastic gang splitter that comes...

Below is an old pic of a ripariumsupply.com small planter cup with a philodendron growing out of my 26g Punk tank: Below pic was taken 5/11/11. Couple weeks ago I found this shelf I realllly liked at Home Goods, so I did this (pic taken today), notice how much the philodendron has...

What media do you use for AquaClear filters and how do you set it up? The standard instruction for inserting media in an AquaClear filter is to: A) insert foam B) insert carbon pack C) insert ammonia remover pack or Bio-Max. How do you set up your media in the AquaClear filters?

Okay, I am starting with a modest 55 gallon here, and I am broadening my limited knowledge with some equipment that is new to me but that I now own. I'm OLD SKOOL, yo! So, I think I will bury my newfound comrades of the Capital Cichlid Association under an avalanche of questions. I was going...

All right, Our speaker is here. Picked him up at BWI this afternoon and we spent some time in DC. I think I wore him and his son out. They are in bed already. LOL I see the food is handled. So, See you all tomorrow.
