I ran RO DI water into a spare 125-gallon tank which I called my reservoir tank. I would then need to add the following into my water: SeaChem's Lake Salt and their Tang buffer. I would remove RO DI water from the filled RT into two 5 gallon buckets. I would then put my dose of salt in one...

Thanks FF. 30's! You are my new BFF! What's your address bc you are now on my Christmas Card mailing list :). LOL! I'm almost 50. That beautiful babe on my right,my wife of 25 years, keeps me young at heart. I love her with all of my heart! Southwest Florida is going well! 82 degrees with...

Thanks guys! I plan to hang out on AC sometimes. This is one of the sites I have been on the longest. I'm planning to upgrade my camera gear to a full; frame sensor camera and do some Gulf sunset shots and canoeing the everglades and photographing wildlife. Oh, also, think I have the wife...

Hey guys, Just an update: I sold off all of my fish :shock: 16 wild C. gibberosa (Mikula) and my calvus. I took an exciting new job in Southwest Florida and I am super busy getting the house ready to sell and all the little things that have to happen. A little overwhelmed at the moment. My...

Good point. My tap water is extremely high in silicates (over 10ppm) and my brown algae loved it! I did large weekly water changes thinking it would help. Only made it worse until I found out what the source of my problem was. Products like PhosGuard/Net/Bond can help. I hate brown algae SO...

Hmmm? Time to get an API Master Test kit and start testing for yourself. There are several approaches to reducing unwanted plant/algae/bacteria growth. Most involve controlling food sources for these. When you pick up that master test kit, I would also order SeaChem's Phosphate and Silicate...

Shrimp :)

Wild caught Altolamprologus calvus (Black Congo Calvus) in pursuit of prey.

I figured out the problem with my remotely triggered overhead flash, also recently re-aquascaped the 40-gallon Black Congo Calvus tank and Palau has settled in & totally owns this tank; so, what other excuse do I need to start a new series :) Here's the first pic in the series. Hope to add...

I wrote an article for another site last year for altolamproloogus fry which can be very difficult. I suspect your fry may not be as difficult; however, you may still find some good tips that worked for me.... http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/altolamp_fry_pt1.php

Congrats, what species?

Haven't really shot this tank much since buffing & polishing it. I figured out what the problem was with my overhead flash (which kept me from shooting the past couple months). Thought I'd shoot Nytazi. He is being a super camera shy booger! I hope the pics (Nyatzi's poses that is) get...

Good to hear FF :)

Some frozen mysis should help the transition. Feed lightly while they adjust. Also, make sure all of your water parameters are good. What are your current parameters? pH: Ammonia: Nitrite: Nitrate: Temperature: Have these been changing at all? When was the last water change and how was it...

Last one for awhile :oops: I really liked this one and trying to decide if it's my fav. All these pics came from one quick ten minute shoot while waiting for the wife to get ready to go out to dinner. It's not often I keep almost every image from a series but I did this time. Anywho, thanks...

Last pics for the day :oops:
