First was a 55 acrylic bought used from LFS - complete setup including tank, stand, hood, gravel, decor, filter, heater, powerhead, air pump, fish food, chemicals, test kits, everything for $100.00. ....three years later, 125 acrylic bought new at LFS (and BigAls) for $1400.00 - complete...

Sorry guys, maybe I wasn't clear. I broke it, then called. The reason for the call was to order a new spraybar. I figured while I was on the phone with the guy I would see what he thought of the whistle and the solution, as well as my problem getting it apart. From his response ("that sounds...

Wyoming is beautiful. My wife and I honeymooned at Yellowstone. Awesome. We drove there from here. Passing through parts of Montana as well. I love the mountains. We vacation near here at Lassen Park and Lake Almanor. Chester, the main town has a pop. of around 6000. Napa Valley, where I...

Crowds. Don't know if you'd call it a fear or neurosis. Sometimes it's debilitating. I don't like to go to restaurants, grocery shopping, shopping in general, or anywhere there is more than a few people. I dream of one day moving to a mountain town of 3000 or less and having 20+ acres and...

Does anyone no if it matters what orientation the baskets, deviders, and top plate are in when you put it together. The manual doesn't say, and it seems that most of the pics. are different. Some pics. show the baskets with the handles on the sides, others show the handles in the front. So...

I got it at Petco. They have all types and sizes in the Reptile area. It's made by a company called Kritterz. I checked before I put it in the water to make sure it was safe for aquariums (because some of the reptile stuff is not). All their resin products are aquarium safe. Anyway, thanks...

Thanks Emg. I couldn't see spending the money for a lava rock on my last tank, but with this one, I was into it so much already. I really like the rock too, it has many nooks and cranies and holes that are connected. The loaches love it. Also, the left and right sides have "shelves" where...

Ali1, do you mean 5-6 one gallon jugs or a 5 gallon bucket? How do you heat the change water?

Just curious what you guys do. I fill up with the python in a bucket, add dechlorinator and dumpit to krumpit (remember The Grinch). I wish I had room for a 50 gallon tote where I could age, heat, and bubble my change water. I would then use a powerhead to pump it in. This way I wouldn't...

Thanks guys. Sorry if the picture quality sucks. I take pictures about as well as I can bake a cake. My wife is an amature photographer, maybe I can convince her to take some pics. for me once I get the canopy on :idea2:.

Beviking, guess I'm an idiot, but I didn't just try to pull it apart....didn't even think about it because of the clips. When I was on the phone with Rena customer support I told him that I was taking it off to drill out the holes to make it stop whistling dixie and he says, "yeah, that sounds...

Just wanted to share. Set up this tank last Wed. (5 days). Moved contents of old 55 in the bedroom to 125 in dining room. So far everyone has made it and no problems. I can't seem to keep my hands out of it, always tweeking on something. CURRENT HARDWARE: 1 125 gallon acrylic (72X18X20)...

Hey Foof, what about all of your other fish? I think you are at the borderline with an overstocking problem already. You need a 240 lol.

Hey Foof, thanks for sharing....don't let people get you down. You could have taken all the fish back to the pet store once they got too big like a lot of people do, but you didn't - you bought them a bigger home - good for you. I just recently moved my 55 gallon tank enhabitants over to my...

I also just set up a XP3 on my new 125. I've done alot of research on this board about it and knew about the spraybar noise. I figured I'd set it up and check it out first before drilling it. I had moved the tank contents of a 55 over to the 125, so the water was pretty cloudy. Sure enough...

This is exactly what I was going to post a question about. I had an Ich outbreak about 3 weeks ago, just after restocking my 55. During this time I have been setting up a 125. I didn't want to move the fish until I finished treating for Ich. From Daveedka's article I slowly added salt to the...

"Salt doesn't cure Ich, it just tightens the scales." This LFS has been in business for over 30 years, I used to go with my Dad when I was a toddler and he was buying fish. I just recently purchased a 125 from them and yesterday, they were asking how it was going when I picked up my hood. I...

Sorry, I'm an idiot. Thought we were talking about the lights, not the fixtures. Now that I've got it straight, one reason I've found for buying the fixtures at my LFS is that they fit in my hood. I looked everywhere for those little skinny fixtures that would fit in my particular hood and...

I've place 3 orders there and had problems with 2 shipments. The first order was fine. In the second order, I ordered a bunch of fake plants and one of them was smashed and broken. It was obvious that it was smashed and broken prior to shipping because it was placed in a notted plastic bag so...

I'm going to try live plants at some point after setting up. I'd like to try something that floats on the top. I don't know much about U.V. sterilizers. I know some Reef keepers use them to further purify water. CO2 and lighting are supposed to be the most important to plants. I've just got...
