cool, good to know, thanks guys.

How do you sex a dwarf gourami?

what i see at an lfs is they have a systyem of 50 gallon rubbermaid containers. conseviably, you could put a smaller one down inside another, like a 45 inside a 50, and stuff the inbetweeen with quilt batting or something. it would be a lot cheaper

there is a way of making a wet dry filter that doesnt involve a sump. it involves the folowing, and if you are good, you can even make it compleatly submersible. it is as folows...... prefilter, water pump, canister filled with biomedia attached to a airline hose that pumps air into the...

any 100% latex paint is safe for aquarium use. Be sure its ONE HUNDRED PERCENT LATEX

no not quite... ill link you to a picture. http://www.maagmedical.com/resource/products/Images/10321-1.jpg that is it, its hard to see but you can see the hose that drops from the air input into the canister.

duncan is right. its a condenser used at the end of a distillery setup. it would be good if you are putting this behind your tank, and then you could put a aquarium heater in it and that would heat your water without your heater being inside.

So I thought I chanced upon a HUGE breakthrough in DIY canister filters today. Like HUGE. I was going through my mother in law's closet, helping her clean it out, when we found her now passed away mothers extra resperator equipment. about 50 feet of airline, tons of connectors, and something...

ya you should be able to find something for under 40 dollars that pushes about 350-400 gallons per hour. that is what you are looking for.

I once saw a saltwater tank that housed some sort of invertibrite. It had a pincer that it used as a javlin. I belive it was called a blue mantis. Apperantly when it stabbs a snail or other prey with its pincer/mandible, it generates aprocomitly 250 pounds of pressure. I saw this lobster cousin...

Try going to an interstate overpass, where they have the large chunks of granite under the bridge, get you a couple of those, and aquascape your tank using them. Try to create sections of the tank that are about 18 square inches on the footprint of the tank. Use the rocks to block the line of...

If it came from a "mixed affrican" tank, than it prolly is just that.... Mixed Affrican. I think i have an artical that Liv2pdl, a moderator on this site, gave me that explains this better than i could. his article reads as folows: The term "Hybrid" refers to the result of mating a male of...

20% once a week or 50% every two weeks is all you need. You are keeping your water almost... too pristine, that is why you arent seeing any nitrates.

I would do a biotope of the eastern indian schoolers. Have tons of diferent kinds of minnow family members. Harlequin rasboras, cherry barbs, etc. Then have a dominant fish in the tank. You have to have a showcase fish. Get a massive huge gourami. Or three large ones. You definatly have the room...

Go by the cubic adult inch rule. For every cubic inch of tropical fish (not inch length like most people say) you should allot 2-3 gallons of water. This rule compensates for fish that grow to be an inch to and inch and a half thick, in addition to their length.

do you have enough air pressure going into the airstone? 18" is quite long. You might not have enough force.

you should drop a crappie in there and see what happens..... no dont just kidding.... Looks preaty good.

the bass should be in a tank no smaller than 250 gallons.

er....... i just fully read your post.... scratch the demasoni idea. White nile is clear water with little vegetation. light colored sandstone and marble is what you should use to keep your water hardness up, and to aquascape with. Sparsley place three plants or so, small puny ones just big...

expensive, beautiful, and worth the 25 bucks because they have such a terrific personality. Demasoni cichlids. If I were to go back and do it all over again, my lake malawi tank would stricktly be a species tank. I love them and cant get enough of them. for about $125 you could stock that tank...
