Dang, I am so sorry to make a deal and not follow through. I did end up setting up a 29 gallon South American biotope that I kept up for the last two years only there won't be any pictures of it unfortunately as I am no longer home. In August of last year, I joined the Navy after graduating high...

I have four 23W 6700K CFLs over 29 gallons, and my plants grow tremendously. You'll need something to attach them to though. Maybe an old hood, or you can build your own canopy. It took me like 4 days and ~45 dollars to build the whole setup for my tank. I would use 6 of those 23 watt lights...

Ok so it appears that my Nitrite, KH, and pH are still fine to use and the rest have just passed their expiration date. Which is fine with me in the short term because I really only use the KH and pH test kit and those are hard to find around here. I'll just buy the Nitrate and Ammonia kits...

Hey guys, I used to be in the fish hobby since 2006 but due to personal issues I have stopped since Feb. of 2009. I am just now getting back into it as I have kept all my old equipment. I remember reading on here that the API FW Master test kit has an expiration date. I can't exactly remember...

Guess who's back? Back again! Heres whats been happening: I moved from Ohio to the Dallas area in Texas over the summer. Now I'm living in an apartment smaller than what I'm used to, and since you can't really ship fishtanks, I left them all at home in storage. I wanted to set up this tank...

Here is my redesigned waterfall FBT setup: Enjoy!

I haven't even put up the main pictures, but that'll happen tomorrow.

What substrate are you using, I used straight up peat moss. I noticed my plants only had 2-4 pitchers at a time at that same size for the first 6 months. At around that same time, I put a Manzanita branch under the plant to support the weight of the pitchers as the plant was tipping over. Within...

Your guess is probably better than mine jpappy, I bought it at a Lowe's last year as a generic "Pitcher Plant". I looked it up though and I am 90% sure I got Nepenthes Ventricosa, the pictures of it online look the exact same as it did. At one point it had pitchers almost the size of my hand...

The frogs don't really do any damage to the pitchers they generally ignore them. I don't feed them myself, the crickets I feed my frogs find their own way there. The substrate sometimes does fall in the water but it doesn't make it "dirty". It just sinks to the bottom in mostly one piece and I...

Sorry buddy, I move last year and left all the tanks at home. No updates to show. Another buzzkill, I know. But I am currently working on a flow tank to hold some Hillstream Loaches, I should have it ready by next month. :)

I made one of these but I used a giant meat cleaver to score it along the edges and then I just whacked it about 4 or 5 times to cut it cleanly in half.

I have an Aqueon that someone threw in as part of a craigslist buy since 2 years ago and I don't even bother with the sink draining attachment, I just put a syphon to my bathtub. Although I did replace the plastic sink attachment it had with a more reliable metal one I found at home depot for a...

Is there a place where they can hang out in front of a water current and spread their fans out?

Sorry to bump an old thread but... I plan on doing the design originally posted on a 29 gallon tank and set it up with hillstream loaches WCMMs and a couple bamboo shrimp. But since all I have are HOB filters I will use an AC 50 with a PVC pipe mounted to the intake that will take it to the...

It turns out I didn't ship it, I actually made some profit by selling it here for 35 and my dad buying one for 30 on the same day on craigslist.

To everybody saying this was a buzzkill: In about 3 months, it won't be. I have found my own place with me and my dad and I will be moving there in early June. I put all of my fish equipment including my favorite pieces of driftwood in a box and I have sent it to my dad's apartment where I...

^I should probably explain my situation a little better. We aren't driving over there. My dad is already in the apartment that we will be living in. I'm living here with my aunt and uncle until the school year ends and then I will fly out over there to live in texas. All my stuff is already over...

My aunt and uncle ship printing parts around the world so they have plenty of Styrofoam. I don't think trying to find it will be a problem. :)

If there's a chip in the corner of the tank, I wouldn't be worried about it, it will house frogs with a couple inches of water. The tanks sits on top of my desk so there isn't a stand to ship, that would be a more hellish experience. Let me explain: - All my fish/frog equipment (Heaters...
