I found another filter that seems reasonable, but I'm unclear about which model to get because I forgot how many times a filter should turnover the tank's volume per hour. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=3601&N=2004+22777

Glad you found the forum! Welcome. That's unfortunate you ended up with so many fish in one day. Some lfs people aren't trustworthy at all. Never heard of sharks living in a pond, but I suppose it could be done given the correct perameters and equipment. See you around the forum.~Angela

Well, the reason I(a she, BTW) ask is because I have a topfin 60 filter that is somewhat difficult to clean in certain areas, as well as being not much surface area for biofilter material. I've looked into the other power filters but I think a canister would be good alternative. I don't even use...

Take a look at the hang on magnum canister filter at thge link below. Now, I'm thinkng of getting this one rather then the eheim which is more expensive. Anybody have experience with these filters? Are they good enough for a planted 55 gallon?~Angela...

Mine is comprised of the last part of my last name, and 'chan' which is a Japanese tack on when talking or referring to a friend or someone you are close to. "De Riso - De = Riso + Chan = Riso-Chan" There, that explains it.

I haven't kept a snake since I was a child, I had a little ringneck, but he didn't live too long. I've had friends that have had snakes, a redtail boa was my favorite. Whenever you let him crawl on you, he'd end up giving you a good back or neck massage. And as embarrasing as it was, he'd also...

I checked around for what it might be, and you're right, it does sound alot like hair algea. No pics though, haven't taken any recently enough. I guess I should manually remove it. Though, I'm curious if it would eventually cover the back panel with flowing green hair...probably best not to fool...

Hello? Need replies here.... :help:

I have s few small growths on the back panel of my tank that look like some form of algea. They're small clumpsa of green hair-like stuff with bubbles in them. Anyone know what this stuff is? Oh, BTW, I just figured out that my center plant that was sold to me as an anubias isn't. It's a...

No, I have read in several sources that confirm this fish is maxed out at 6-7 inches. To answer an earlier question about the relations between the kuhlis and the redtail, they get along well. In fact, this morning I saw them digging in his cave this morning while he was in there with them. His...

My recent addition of a redtail shark to my 55g has been an overall pleasant experience so far, though I noticed today he/she is getting more territorial around the caves. However I have 7 swordtails and I can't keep every one of them. I don't want to have many females this time because of the...

Have to put my two cents in, as far as volcanic eruptions go. The eruptions spew out materials that are very deadly to animal and human life alike. However, after the fact, it nutrifies the soils for rich plant growth, and the magma flows of Hawaii are currently creating new land masses. The...

I must sadly agree about us looking like idiots to the rest of the world. You know, in some countries they don't allow religion in their political systems. Seems to me we'd be better off doing the same.

A day or two has gone by, and everyone's still happy. The shark actually likes to clean off the debris on the broad leaves of the anubias. His little mouth is constantly going 100 mph! Last night, I observed him sleeping in his little cave, just laying still on the gravel bed. Very intrigueing...

I suppose you're right. I know I might go through a few before I find the right one for me, but I just want to be clear and level headed about it. I just hope it won't be too far from now that I find that someone. I really don't think I'll end up actively looking, it's a little too awkward I...

I went to petsmart yesterday to get a battery powered aeration device incase the power goes out during the hurricane, and ended up getting a little redtail there. No one in their tank looked to be sick, all fairly healthy, except for the fact the one shark(the darkest colored one) was bullying...

I actually wouldn't mind skipping the crap, but I imagine I'll still face some. I would prefer not to fool around too much, I mean flirting and stuff like that's cool, but I just don't want something to happen with someone unless it's serious. I guess I'm scared of making a mistake of the heart...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been on my own for alot of my life, but I have gotten benefits from it. You learn from it. I'm glad I'm not really that dependent on others, because I've had lots of people let me down. But I learned to let it roll off my back like water, it may sting a little...

Yeah, I guess that expression does get old, but it doesn't bother me. I think when you realize that you can pair up with someone and not go through life alone, you just start to wonder how long it'll be 'til you have someone to be with. I hope it happens when I'm young though, I want to be able...
