    Cheap Planted Substrate for 10-15g?

    It is basically the same thing..... "fracted, stable porous clay" As per your original request, it is basically Seachem Flourite, but very inexpensive in comparison. It is NOT meant to be covered with another material..... http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/Flourite.html Best of...

    Thanks WailuaBoy, one of the best things I've done was switching the fish room over to HMF. Dennis

    Cheap Planted Substrate for 10-15g?

    If you like the idea of fluorite you can look up a product called Safe T Sorb at TSC. Also Walmart has non clumping, fragrance free cat litter for $3 or $4. Both of these make great planted tank substrate. Dennis

    Classic Aquarium Equipment

    I still use air powered filters in the fish room, but I've switched everything over to HMF or the Cube filters using Poret foam. I really like the corner HMF's in larger tanks..... Cube filters ==>> http://www.swisstropicals.com/filtration-shop/cubefilter-shop/ Dennis

    My first Dynaflo was just an empty chamber and you could fill it with whatever you wanted. Dennis

    has anyone fed their oto cats this

    +1 on the Repashy gel..... Several years back, I used Repashy gel with some $1 Otos from Petsmart and they literally thrived on the stuff. So much so, that with the right temps and water conditions they spawned..... Dennis

    Mosquito Larvae

    WOW, your mosquito larvae must be much different from the ones around here. As the "wigglers" only live in water from 4 to 14 days, depending on water temperature, they sure don't have much time to pick up some sort of parasite. I do check to be sure that my "wigglers" don't have any dragonfly...

    Your fish will be very happy if you do! Mosquito larvae are a favorite of mine for bringing fish into spawning condition. Dennis

    What is your thoughts on common plecos?

    I love all of my plecos, but I think my L183's are my favorite..... the L046 aren't bad either. Dennis

    Aquarium Backing Help

    A backing is nice when it comes to hiding wires and other things from view, but I don't think the fish care either way. I don't have a single backing on 100+ tanks and not a single complaint..... Dennis

    Dropsy and Leopard danio

    Chris, that just looks like a female to me. The girls can get very plump when they mature and start producing eggs. Dennis

    Speaking of CPDs

    Mine aren't shy either, but they do stay towards the bottom of the tank most of the time..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7qOdGTKfYo Dennis
