I have a 125 that's been running as an African cichlid tank for a long time. starting to consider going to the dark side and getting some big boys. its a standard 125 (6' by 18").
So looking for some ideas on stocking. Only parameters would be nothing that gets too large, too expensive, is...

Will,
thanks for the hara. as you can see in the video, the pair are hanging out together; the male not harassing the female at all. In fact, the female is seeking out the male. It looks like they found a nice hidey-hole in the tank to hang out with. Also notice the rusties with the...
I have finally finished preparing my 36g for the discus and threw them in last night. A few months ago I had a tank crash with parasites. I bleached it and the filter and started the cycle over with emerald rainbows generously provided by Josh at Batfish for just that purpose. It took 2 solid...
I just recently made a divider for my tank because my Cichlids were tearing each others fins up. Now, half of my tank has a film (pics 1&2) that keeps appearing and seems to keep lots of tiny air bubbles in the tank (pic 3, looks fuzzy but its air in the water). I take the film off the top and...
Well, I probably should have videoed this but, I found a new way to remove trim off a tank so that I could replace a broken panel on the tank.
I was given a 75 gallon (brand spanking new) tank, that had the end panel busted.
(tank had been broken in transit, so was either throw out or take it...
I am looking for suggestions on fish mix between two tanks. One tank is a 75g 4ft and the other is a 55g 4ft. Both are well filtered, have pool filter sand substrate and plenty of coral rock.
Current Situation:
75g - 5 2m3f crimson red, 5 2m3f mbweca afra, 3 1m2f yellow lab, 6 gender unknown...
I had to redo 2 of my planted tanks because one had flourite substrate and I didn't want that anymore so of course I switched to dirt lol. The plants you see are blyxa japonica, ludgwigia repens, water sprite, and guppy grass that I picked up from my local pond. I also have wild guppies so if...
I just finished planting my first mineralized top soil tank. I topped it off with some SMS.
So far, it is planted with Cryptocoryne nurii, Lobelia cardinalis, and Pogostemon helferi. I need to plant some thin leafed stem plant in the background, especially the big rock. I also need to add CO2...
I am completely sterilizing my tank of a parasite. I am throwing out all sand, and cleaning the tank out. Would it be enough to just boil and clean the rocks, or should I also use bleach?
I've had an acie for a year or so now and she's a fully grown adult, the other acie I got at the same time didn't make it past about 3 months, not sure what the other died from but, I had been wanting to add some tank mates to keep her company since she was a pretty shy girl. I finally got a...
Interesting study about forest debris in lakes contributing to food chains and helping fish diets. It's on Canadian lakes, so not directly relevant for the fish we keep, but interesting nonetheless.

My 5th dirted tank that happens to be a 55 gallon, I'm very excited about this one. I just finished this baby 2min ago and now I'm looking for plants lol, tell what u guys think.
I'm curious what yall use for filters on your larger tanks. I will be getting a 135g at the end of the week and want to plan out filtration.
I'll probably have a heavy bioload with large SA cichlids.
For options there's always the commercial FX6 (FX5's are hard to find now).
One of those...
Will removing the top brace of a 55 gallon (long, I think) and then not resealing it so I can just slip it on and off, weaken the integrity of the tank?
The first thing I thought of the first time I saw this tank was planting it for some apistos. The unique footprint is what is really appealing to me, 35.4" x 8.3" x 9.4". I thought I had the perfect spot for it in my kitchen overlooking my foyer but after finally measuring the ledge, its only 6"...
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...
