Memories, memories! How about the good old Tetra or Penplax under gravel filters! I did a search and they are still around. I remember when they were state of the art and the bee's knees in the hobby. Hell, I still have a couple of panels running in my old school 40 long just because I've...

The Right Bacon

Welcome! What kind of fish do you have? How many tanks? Nice picture, where is this?

Süsswassertang! Süsswassertang! I attached some tufts of this plant to some driftwood with gel super glue. First time I've used this method and it seems to work well. Will have to see if there is any die off at the attachment points. I got a small golf ball sized portion off of Ebay last...

Wonderful photos. You have an eye my friend...

Welcome!

Welcome, I think you will find this a friendly home. I'll have to check out www.myaquariumclub.com. I live in an area where there are no clubs within an hours drive. Maybe this is a virtual replacement...

Truly wonderful! I live vicariously through your achivement...

Now that I'm active again on these type of websites: This one, The Planted Tank Forum, Cichlid Forum.com, Aquatic Plant Central. Also I'm on Facebook and have joined the all to numerous cichlid/planted tank pages there. I find the discussion on Facebook can get a little "coarse" and "flaming"...

I kept the filtration system running all winter, kept the pipes from freezing and water movement kept a oxygen hole in the ice. It also created a wonderful ice sculpture a couple of years ago. With the new waterfall design, I'll have to rethink this practice.

They winter over in the pond. I've had a total freeze over during some winters, but only for a week or so. The climate here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon is fairly mild. More rain than anything else...

My 4000 Gallon, 20x8x4(deep) Koi pond got a major reworking this year. I was having a major leaking problem with the waterfall that I just could not solve. I finally bit the bullet and had a professional pond contractor come and redo the waterfall. Could not be more pleased. Not only could...

I have looked into using kitchen scrubbies in the bottom tray. I ended up going with the coarse foam pads provided. My first cleaning with the 302 showed that the white Sunsun pads are junk. They were mush in two weeks. I replaced them with some API 30ppi fiber pads cut to shape. Jury is...

Sweet! a bonus!

I've been impressed with my "Punks", got some about 2 weeks ago. They hold their own, but are not agressive (we will have to see... they are juveniles). Hopefully the growth rate will be quicker than some other Tangs. I'll follow intently to your progress.

Slender Buffalo Head Cichlid - Steatocranus tinanti Time to get this thread going again... Here is my male Slender (Elongated) Buffalo Head. He is more photogenic than his mate.

My 29H planted tank had a 4 lamp T5HO fixture that was getting pretty dim. It was a cheapo Ebay purchase. The main problem with any fluorescent lamp is they significantly drop their light levels over time (usually less than a year). It is sometimes faster than you would notice with cheap...

I love the interesting colors of those Victorians. I have not kept them in many years. I don't know how they do with Malawi species. I have limited tank capabilities.

I now have two Sunsuns running. I moved my 302 down to a 40 long and the head pressure is better. I have a new HW 303B running on the upper 55, at a 370 gph flow rate, there is a noticeable difference in flow. No where near the rated number though. It has to work pretty hard to pump water up...

Now some from Malawi. Let's start showing some fish! How about that "other" Rift Lake...
