That's what I figured, we pay $250 for a five gallon bucket of their industrial stuff. Did you ever think about using UGK Drylok? It says its for fish ponds......

How much per gallon did the pond coat cost? The industrial stuff (permi-dry) is really expensive!!!! How much does it cover, you know how the suggest coverage doesnt always live up to real life conditions. I have been using permi-dry products on industrial applications for over 2 years and I...

Vegetative Filter Pros: Near zero nitrates, traps and consumes particulate, low maintenance tank. Cons: Bad idea if you want plants in the tank. You have to design it yourself. You have to deal with all the issues that a sump creates like noise, energy consumption, lighting for the plants...

Hello all, I have been inactive on this site since getting into reefkeeping but I have the bug to build something again. This project will be very easy to reproduce and I could see lots of people being able to use this design as it is small yet big enough to be interesting. This will be a...

Another great example of an inbred wisconsinite! How could you kill something like that? Why the hell is it legal to kill something that big? The should have a slot limit to protect the old girls.

thanks guys!

so can you tell me about the inside of this cansiter filter, how much room is there for media? thanks

A little more behind my tank. I am going to have a planted tank so I want to minimize surface agitation. It is in my office so I want it to be quiet. I am also looking at canister filters from Hydor, Penn-Plax and RENA. I am up in the air on this so if you have any info let me know!

I am thinking about buying one of these, went to the website and to say the least it was not very informative..... I wanna know approx how big is this thing? Is there a container I can put some peat in? Will it be big enough for a 29 gallon with cardinals and pencil fish????????

And I thought my 550 gallon pond was big. I used a liner in that one....working with the liner is a pain....mine was a 10'x12' and it was heavy.....yours will need some strong dudes to fold! Good luck, you are the most addicted aquarist ever!

Aquarium Concepts Dublin, CA I went to Aquarium Concepts in Dublin CA today based on a review that I read on this thread.... Freshwater selection is pretty weak, some prices really good, some kinda expensive. I would say that 30% of the tanks were infested with ich....also the store is...

Cvermeulen, Where the h*ll have you gone? Can you give us an update on your tank? Who is still in it, what fish have left, ect.... I wanna make one of these plywood/epoxy tanks!

Well I shouldn't lie, I am kicking around the idea of building another smaller pond for this house. It would be made cheaper and probably wouldn't look as nice but it would get the job done. It would have solar heating to keep the pond at 80F for my tropical fish.

No updates because I had to move and take down the pond. At my new house I have no room for the pond :(. We are planning on buying a house in the next year or so, I plan on getting it going again once we move!

As an avid bass fisherman I must disagree/agree with both sides of this argument. Largemouth bass live all the way from southern mexico to north of the canadian border. So to charecterise the bass is very tough. Research has concluded that the optimum temperature for bass growth and longevity is...

Well it has been a while since I updated this thread. The 55 is still alive and well but I am lazy and too busy to keep up with my updates.... Right now my tank still has the pearls and I added "orchid" ciclids from lake tankignika. It sounds like it wouldnt work but it does. The orchids...

I am the guy with the tropical pond.... Or had it should I say.... I had to move and my new place just doesnt have room for my pond. I live near San Jose CA and it was still tough for a tropical fish pond with my orginal design. I had barbs and weather loaches and some white clouds in there...

yea there is a local aquarium club but they are a cichlid club...maybe I should just go to check it out.

I live in fremont but I am willing to travel! I will check out the two suggestions that someone posted.

thanks for the feedback guys... Just bought it!
