Please copy and paste my sig and click on the african book. Is my fronosa a male or female? Also I paid $25 for it, for its size, is this reasonable?

Thanks NJ Devils Fan, it cost around $1200 for everything and now that everything is together it was worth every penny!

My tank has about 10 african cichlids and is 135g

I have always had readings of 0 in both ammonia and nitrites. It is been over a month and still the same readings. Why is this? and is my tank cycled yet? My fish load is not heavy and my filters are: 2 aquaclear 500's with double sponges and an eheim wet/dry.

Do you think it is better to double up on the sponges on my aquaclear filters, or use carbon and only 1 sponge? Which combo is best? I have heard carbon only eliminates odor

LOL:p I don't think I could afford to dump all that water out each week. I monitor my water parameters weekly and change my water accordingly.

My tank is 135g and has about 100lbs of lace rock in it. I plan on completly taking out the rocks and siphoning the gravel every 6 months or so. Right now I just clean the front of my gravel and where ever I can reach with the siphon every few weeks. Do any of you with large tanks completly...

do I have to remove the fish or will they be ok if I leave them in the tank while I change over to sand?

I may want to switch from rock to sand substrate in the future but I have fish already in my tank. If I switch substrates, will this kill my fish. I am just concerned at the begining when I put the sand in. The sand will not settle right away and I am worried that my fish will be killed.

But what is this build up? What causes it?

Every couple of months or so I notice a white filmy build up on the inside glass of my tank. What is the easiest way to clean this? And what might it be?
