I'd like to try keeping figure 8 puffers, most likely only one. The puffer will live in a highly planted 10 gallon tank with an over sized filter, plant substrate, water change bi-weekly, heater, and fertilizer. Some will say this is too small for a figure 8 puffer but when it comes to keeping a...

And thanks, 247Plants, I'll take you up on that offer.

I'll definitely post some pics when I harvest the plants ... in about a month. Right now, I'm in college. I just wanted to ask the question before I forgot.:perv: Sorry guys. But will post when I get them ... if I remember.

I'd also like to add that they aren't the best swimmers and are sometimes forgetful. They head for the top, get tired or forget where they are going, and sink back down to the bottom, still needing air. It's best to get them a short tank. I'd try to keep it under 8" high if at all possible. They...

Should be under "Freshwater Bottom dwellers" Yes, that tank would be okay. ADF's are happy in most anything as long as there is a lot of hiding places and plenty of preferably live plants. They are also susceptible to changes in temperature so be sure to watch that. It's hard in a small tank...

On our property is a natural creek that has all types of wildlife living in it, including some really nice aquatic plants. I recognize them all as aquatic plants but can't name them ... still a newbie when it comes to plants. I'd like to transfer a small about to one of my tanks. My only...

It was working just fine with 4' connection and being connected to 4 tanks while being on the floor. Then, it just got worse and worse until it stopped altogether. Like I said, I don't care if it ever works again and I'm not going to ever use it again. I'll buy a new one. But thanks for the...

I bought a cheap air pump off ebay, stupid me. The thing sounds like a buzz saw in my room. I don't mind a hum, and I'm not naive enough to believe in silent, but when it's so loud that I can't sleep, it gets annoying. So, I put the stupid thing on my floor, under a desk to help muffle it...

I was browsing ebay ... go ebay ... and came across "crazy clam shrimp." I'm thinking, no. This is sooo fake. Well, they aren't. http://www.clamshrimp.com/ I'd like to get some but the site says they only live 2-3 weeks on average. However, they produce a ton of eggs. Do they breed fast...

Uhhh ... really big? Are they aggressive? By the way, I have no idea; just curious.

Nice work! :y220e:

Thanks for all the help. This seems almost too good to be true.

:spam: Technically it's not global warming but climate change. Think of it that way and it makes more sense. The term 'global warming' was put forth when the earth was actually in the process of warming. The term has to do with a sudden (about 100 year time span) release of CO2 into the...

Ammonia is 2-4 ppm Nitrite is 0.25-.0.5 ppm Nitrate is 5 ppm Sorry I can't be more accurate. Notice I already have 5 ppm nitrate. Water change? Thanks, Rei

Good point. I used my old filter media but I was sure everything was dead because it sat in the tank for a week without oxygen before I started my cycle. Just thought I'd try with it. It's pressed up against the sponge filter some hopefully whatever is left will transfer.

I have a 2.5 (really less than 2 with everything in it) with a sponge filter at 80 F constantly. I started a fishless cycle yesterday using janitorial strength ammonia bought at Ace Hardware. I added 2 drops and was close to the approximate range. The API master test kit is a little hard to...

This tank is just awe inspiring. A bit of confusion though. I understand that you collect all the specimens from the ocean. This is, of course, legal in New Zealand? Are there any sites that tell regulations/rules of where else this is legal? Thanks, Rei

http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/cat/infoL3/23721/category.web The only place I know of. Still rather expensive.

I've never seen an oscar like that before. Nice. Does s/he always carry the food around like that?

Wow ... now I want a reef tank. The tank didn't look that big until someone stood by it ... it's a monster. It'll be soooo beautiful when everything is in it. Like looking at a reef bed. Good luck!!!
