If you have any of the old tank left, get a small plastic container filled with gravel from it, just sit it somewhere in your tank until u get nitrate only readings, or the old filter media will help jump start ur new tanks cycle, if not very frequent water changes until cycled

Yeah I agree, I got a hold of a baby channel cat, mixed in with some others, thought he looked unique found out later he wasn't what I thought... within 6 months he was nearly a foot long and I'd say 4-8 inches wide,... completely Wrecked my tank lol, I had to get rid of him and knowing he's a...

I love that blue phantom :O

Simple enough question for the first one, what foods do angelfish tend to enjoy most, and what is most nutritional for them? Secondly what size can I expect common angelfish to get? (the ones found in any lfs) There is a very nice lfs about an hour away that I will have to go to for the rams...

I've used play sand in the past, not something I want to do again... I looked at the stratum and aquasoil, it's expensive stuff ? how would diluting it work? Maybe 2-3 bags mixed with a couple bags of the aforementioned safetsorb, I have patience I just want a good starting point before I do...

Thanks for the eye opener on flourite , I don't see the point in it's price if it doesn't have nutrients, I did consider potting soil topped with gravel and covered with blasting sand, I will push the edges inward so all that is seen is the sand

Full disclosure I'm a huge fan of seachems their products havent really ever let me down The one I have looked at is seachem's flourite black, or black sand flourite And the flourish fertilizer, but there is alot of different types (I don't know much about this stuff), it would be alot of...

Hey guys my old 120 has been collecting dust since I moved and I'm about to get it and set it up in the living room of a new house I want to try something different, I haven't been here in a while but my last tank ran great for about 5 years til I moved (it was in my parents house) I want this...

Updates!!! finally posting some updates to my tank, spent some time on foster and smith and ordered a couple things, also added my firemouth, severum, and my gf made me get a betta(we'll see how long he lasts) Driftwood that got boiled 5 times WaterChanges made easy old guys Severum...

mine love bloodworms and zucchini

thats weird, oscars are pigs, usually eating anything that fits in their mouth, but, if the LFS u got em from spoiled em on frozen food.. it may take 2 or 3 days for em to eat wafers, pellets, sticks and/or flakes (anything dry)

hmm i think ur problem was, did u increase oxygen in the tank? add an airstone or powerhead? heat dissipates the oxygen.. heat and salt DOES cure ich and fast! but i always keep the treatment up for a minimum of 10 days after i see no spots edit: just realized this guy is a troll...

Sweet! Nitrate readings, 0 ammonia and less then .25 nitrite 4 day cycle :) don't know if its from the media from other tank or the sachem stability

thats weird, most lfs seperate the male from females she must have been prego when u bought her, u may(probably wont) not see anymore

plan to see alot more too u got livebearers! many many fry to come, get a 55G or bigger and an oscar, he will take care of the fry for u :)

hey, didnt notice this earlier, but it looks like u may have a few frontosa in that tank if so, ur lucky! here is what a mature one looks like one of my favorite africans

Clown loach for me too! Unless I ever get a tank big enough for a redtail catfish

Awesome looking tank. The Texas is from south america and the others are from africa, keeping an eye on em.. they can get nasty

Yeah, that combined with how little I know about plants has made me decide to just get a few fake ones and add lots of rocks and driftwood, goin to a river in the morning and will hopefully be able to find em there

Well I guess its just goin thru a mini cycle or Summin.. this morning I had nitrite readings and my ammonia was down to .25 so hopefully by the 21st I will have nitrate readings and be able to add some more fishies, the clown coaches are loving this tank, using all the space in it to dart from...
