    Aquatop CF400UV for $17

    Mine arrived about an hour ago and I'm pretty happy with it. Priming was a breeze and the current is just right for my angelfish tank. My only gripe so far would be the directions, or lack thereof.

    Tiger barb question

    Take into account that your crayfish is missing one of its big claws and is not as efficient of a hunter right now. Also, from experience danios sleep near the top of the tank away from harm's reach. If you don't mind losing a few fish here and there, maybe you could try a colony of guppies...

    Tanked Returns

    Did anyone notice they decided to add tiger barbs with gouramis? My first thought was how many of us on this forum would be yelling NOOOOO!

    How to handle ich?

    I've done it with goldfish, but kept it at 86. Of course, these were pretty well established fish I've had for a while. The reason why people go the heat + salt method over medicine is that it's supposedly less harmful/stressful to the fish over conventional medications and won't harm your...

    How to handle ich?

    I've never had the heat + salt method fail me yet. Slowly bring the temp up to 86 - 88 deg. while slowly adding 2 - 3 teaspoons of salt per gallon (I do all of this over the course of 36 hours). Regular plain salt is fine, no need to buy "special" aquarium salt. I get mine from Walmart for 48...

    Do I need an airstone?

    You're fine, I haven't used an airstone in any of my tanks for the past ten years.

    Petco 1$ per gallon sale?

    Did a little research to see when the last $1 per gallon sale was this time last year. According to slickdeals, the sale began on 6/26/2011 - the last Sunday of June. Sale ended 7/23/11. http://slickdeals.net/f/3045489-Petco-1-Per-Gallon-Aquarium-Sale-6-26?

    My first Archers

    Oh wow, they look great. One of the LFS here has a few of them, but they look emaciated and possibly deformed. Good luck on the archers!

    My first jumper

    Interesting, most of my jumpers were pregnant guppies on the verge of giving birth.

    nice driftwood find at local lake

    Off topic, but is that a molly in your avi? Are the colors/pattern real?

    RANT

    You guys need to calm down and realize much of our hobby isn't based on exact science. A lot of what we know is based on the experiences of others, and yes, even word of mouth. It just so happens that these methods work. Also keep in mind experiences will differ from individual to individual and...

    Picked up a Marina Slim S15 Power Filter

    Seems ok. Bought it at petsmart for ~$6 last week. I replaced the cartridges with Aquaclear sponges and it seems to be running well.

    Bring your own test kit and compare results.

    Petco 1$ per gallon sale?

    Don't really see how you can compare new vs. used prices. Apples and oranges really. I've never seen a brand new 40g breeder or 55g at $40 and $55 + tax respectively ANYWHERE. Even at used prices, the general rule is $1 per gallon.
