for those of you with large red devils, how do you have your tanks set up? im getting ready to pull all my fake plants and small driftwood and just leave my large piece of driftwood. i may even remove all my sand since he makes such a mess with it. i think he might get bored if i take it out...

I posted my new 55 and the stand I built recently and it didn't take long to decide the bottom shelf was really best suited for a second tank. I just added this sweet 30 long underneath and it fits like a glove. What do you guys think.

I have a 65 gallon tank that I am currently setting up as a tropheus tank. I was going to purchase some holey rock this weekend, but I was wondering if I could used dry live rock instead since I have a box full lying around will it work?

Here are the latest pictures of my Lake Malawi Tank - 125g setup.

On my 90 I'm running an eheim 2217 canister only Figured with the cost of the Sunsun 304b on eBay, really can't go wrong & worth a shot to get some more filtration... So those of you running the aquatop, marineland, sunsun, etc, could use some insight before placing my order! Really not up to...

Hey guys I've been out of the fish game for a while but I'm definitely back now. I got to see some of you at the meeting yesterday and I wanted to share my new set up with custom built cabinet stand. It sucked pretty bad to have to give up my fish in a matter of a month but ultimately it was...

Ok, FX5 experts, my hoses are all set up in place and now am getting my trays ready. Andrew, who previously owned my FX5, had it set up like this: Top tray: Filter sponge on outer ring with biomax bag in center Middle tray: Filter sponge with two carbon bags in center Bottom tray: same as...

I moved my Mbuna out of my 75g and want to put some SA and CA in there. The 75g is connected to a 100g plastic horse trough with plants and such to add to the volume and help with bio load. I am new to CA and SA. Below is a list of ones that I thought seemed cool. However, coolness doesn't...

Here's a short vid of one of my 75 gallon tanks. I plan to do a vid of each of my tanks at least once a week over next several weeks. Gives me an excuse to play with video on my camera. Still trying to figure out which lens is best and if i should shoot it in manual focus or auto....aaaahhh...

I had 6 beautiful aquariums for 10 years and had all types of freshwater and african cichlids. Unfortunately, I lost my job, had to sell everything, and move out of DC. I'm now back in DC, My girlfriend looks at the pictures of my old tanks and motivates me to start again. However, I can't...

I was considering running a aquaponics setup to put on my porch. But I was wondering if anybody had any expierence with them. What are you running all the way down to what you have growing and what is your yield from the plants. Any info would be super helpful. Drew

Im looking to buy rocks for my new Lake Malawi setup, preferably lace rock. Anyone know any shops in the area that sell it for a really great price? Or is anyone selling any? Thanks!

I recently picked up a 40L from Mike (Maddog) I didn't have anywhere to set it up and needed some tank space asap so it's on my floor. I have spare filters but wanted to try something new and mike included the foam and lift tubes from when he had it running. It's def growing on me. For now I...

Well, the topic title and description pretty well sum up my question. I would like to hear from those of you who keep BN. (Could that be all of you?) From what I have heard these algae vacuums might fare well in SA, CA, and African tanks. Which variety do you keep? How many in a tank? How...

I plan on setting up my 125. The tank will house 10 altums and 20 cardinals. I may add a group of six corys and pair of 4" bristlenose. Do you think 2 Aquaclear 500s would be enough filtration or should I add a canister filter as well? I thought about a sump, but I don't want to have to bend...
