    Too much light bad?

    3 watts per gallon is pretty normal. I'm actually looking to go to around 4 in mine, but you do have to have the co2/fertilization to keep up or you'll get a wicked algae bloom.

    FtWayneFish's Tanks

    If you ever want some Java Moss man, just hit me up. It's growing pretty well in my tank now and I wouldn't mind trimming a little clump of it back out of the way.

    new moonlights

    Looks nice, but that's awfully bright for the fish. I run a couple led's and a cold cathode setup at 7 volts and it's not nearly that bright.

    Where to buy lighting for a planted tank?

    You could always build your own.

    Suicidal plecos????

    I doubt a 4" Gourami is taking out 8" plecos. I've got 3 in my 55 and they get along great with everyone.

    WTB: Large amounts of dwarf hairgrass

    As the title says, doesn't all need to come from one source. Looking for healthy algae free plants.

    Why does noone on here ship UPS?

    Actually since I work for the team servicing the Southwest and Farwest region I work until 7pm every night. So that means one more day of them sitting at the post office. I'll have stuff shipped to your place from now on Corey.

    Why does noone on here ship UPS?

    Well the snails were alive. Pretty warm, but I got them floating in the tank and they cooled right down. I'd love to have things shipped to work, but since I work for the nation's oldest and largest medical malpractice insurance company they open all of our mail here. I don't know how they do...

    Why does noone on here ship UPS?

    Oh I understand it's the cheapest, lord knows I use them for letters and bills (not that they haven't screwed those up in the past), but there are those of us out there who'd gladly pay double the shipping prices to make sure our stuff arrives alive. The last thing I ordered was a bag of...

    Why does noone on here ship UPS?

    Seriously, everything I've ever bought from here gets shipped USPS and they come by everytime and drop off my plants in a little aluminum mailbox for packages 30 minutes after I have to be at work. I've got 75 Ramshorn snails now that have been sitting in a aluminum mailbox since 10:29 am and...

    First time Arowana owner with Pics

    I think your mix was heavy on yeast. I'll send you the stuff I use corey, it'll last longer and be more stable although you have to change it about every week and a half.

    Plant advice please

    I'd look into HC for a carpeting style plant. You can find some of it in the classifieds probably.

    Plant advice please

    You'll probably want to add in some Co2 and some fertilizers with that kind of lighting, but at that point you could probably grow about anything you wanted.

    Do most LFS have a no-dead policy?

    Most of my LFS have a 24-48 hour policy with a separate sample of water that doesn't have a dying fish in it. Beyond that you'd be hard pressed to get much more than a discount on your next one.

    Noob photos

    Thanks guys. Original pantyhose were actually stockings and were too thick and restricted flow too much. Switched down to actual panythose and everything's working much better now. Picked up some more Oto's (up to 7 now) and I'll be re-homing my smaller red-tail (should really only have one...

    Question on Bio-wheels...

    They will pause once in awhile, but if they completely stop for a couple days then you're probably not getting enough flow through your filters to turn them. I run mine with Super Cartridges with activated carbon from Fosters and Smith and it keeps them spinning like champs. I also stretch and...

    you guys ever see a drag queen fish?

    Was I the only one expecting Dennis Rodman in a leopard print dress and platform heels standing on the end of a peer with a fishing pole?

    so, who fishes?

    I fish. Mainly freshwater catch and release though. Not that I won't hang onto a few good bluegill if someone's private pond is a bit overstocked though. Darn things breed like mollies in the wild.

    my diy lighting

    People aren't ragging on you per say, we just don't want that tape to give way (which it eventually will) and kill your fish.

    my diy lighting

    Yes, but as you can see the inside was painted white and he screwed the bulbs down. You don't want to waste that extra light, and you don't want the bulb falling in the watter. Electrical tape is not designed to be a load bearing tape by any stretch of the imagination.
