No those aren't what my rocks look like. Probably fine if it hasn't caused a problem yet. BTW, I just did a water change on my tank, about 10-15 gals. My nitrates had been at 40ppm and that managed to lower them to 25-30ppm. Lfs said they should decrease more because of the new lighting, with...

I don't even where much makeup anymore. I pretty much just let my natural features be what they are. Hell, it gets to be a hassel having to paint a mask on at every outing. If anything, the cosmetic testing on animals makes me despise some of the bimbos who can't go on without it. So phoney...

I recently added three hiding areas in preparation for them. 1. A rock stacked cave 2. Another just the same, but greenish rocks 3. a small jar buried sideways in the gravel This sound decent for 4 kuhlis? Plus, I know they are sensitive to malechite green, and the if the green rocks were...

"Riso-chan...there has been history of prisoners being used as test subjects. Not sure what the current status of that is tho. Even if someone has commited a heinous crime it is still our obligation to treat them humanely. (I don't intend to have the death penalty debate again...it can be done...

I share my sympathies with everyone who's lost pets too. But somehow, I feel like I'll see them again someday. I believe we all will. When you have a pet, you know what it is to have the truest friend. It is because they are beyond what it is to be human that makes them so genuinely special...

Well, I can certainly see both sides of the situation, as far as seeing a resolution, I'm blank. But while both our countries are angry at eachother, we seem to forget that living on the same planet means we must find some way to live with eachother. Whatever way we figure out how to do that is...

I've got a dilema of the not so serious kind, yet it makes me anxious. I'm going to trade my swordtails in for some kuhlis, and ttoday I found out one store has only the black variety and another store has both. I can't decide which type to get. I had my heart set on the banded type, but i've...

Had it that way for about 5-6 months, but I just added the anacharis recently. I didn't use any ferts or anything, that came from the nitrates and fish waste. One thing I did do is that I'd switched theflow rate of the filter to medium so the water surface agitation wasn't too high, and so the...

That's kind of what I'm doing with my topfin filter, I don't even buy the cartrigdes anymore. I've just been using sponge inserts in the filter for biological filtration. I think I might get an emperor 400 with birthday money in july. You really think trading the swords in would lessen the...

Java Moss, Fish Community & Filter Questions I have my plants listed in my sig, but there is some remaining java moss left over from when I attempted to try it. I removed the bulk of it, but there's still a little bit left creeping its way over the gravel. Is the bst way to remove it by hand or...

I really dislike these pet store chains because of these scams. I also wish they wouldn't sell birds, reptiles, or rodents, they never care for them correctly. Idiots. The only thing I really value them for is there equipment and supplies. Eventhough, some places have better deals. I have two...

It was only two AquaGlo 18" 15w tubes=30w. I'm lucky my plants were tough enough to keep going in that llittle of light. Finally now, I have atleast 1wpg with 80watts over the tank.

Probably writing too much but...:) Personally, I agree with the notion that mankind is the most destructive creature that walks the earth, and that one day we may be the end of ourselves. I don't agree with PETA on much. I'd rather us use prisoners(child molesters, rapists and murderers) as...

I did at one time have a red eared silder when I was a child. I see them now in pet stores and can't help but love their cute faces. One thing I wouldn't suggest is getting a snapping turtle as a pet, their very aggresive and can cause really nasty injuries. The slider species and other aquatic...

Can I just say 'Oh My God', my new lighting really seemed to make a difference within the next morning after installing them the day before. It almost looked as if some of the plants were growing a little before my eyes, unless I was hallucinating (and I'm not a druggie). At lowes', I got myself...

Was just curious if anyone on this forum lives near me at all. I live near the Tampa Bay area of Florida, US.

What kind do you get? Names, types?

I was curious of others' experience with the Coralife Nutrigrow Plant Lamp florescent bulbs. I'm thinking of getting them, and just want to make sure they're half way decent.

That sounds like a good idea! Luckily, my birthday is coming up, and I could save some money for the fixture+bulbs. Have to replace the bulbs this coming month anyway. That would really help the wires and plugs situation. Thanx! BTW, my tank has a divider in the center to hold the glass panels...

Well, the poblem there is I can't add more lighting due to the fact I've already got enough plugged into this one outlet. The plants have been doing fine for months. Plus, the light fixtures + bulbs have built in reflecters, and the k rating on the bulbs is 10000k. As long as they keep doing...
