    Looks almost like a chamaeleo gracilis (sp?) I believe common names are Slender cham. or graceful cham.

    Expenses double with tank size?

    Yeah having a larger water volume is always easier. However Do you really require the same filter system for your 80 as your 244? To me it would seem the one is over filtered or under filtered. OR the difference in Fish per gallon is much different. But I still agree. Per gallon larger is...

    Want to upgrade/change my tank lighting

    If your fairly handy building a 4 foot 2 light strip would cost less then 50 dollars or so. I built one for my mom for x-mas last year as follows. 2 all weather ballasts that control 2 54 watt T5HO bulbs. 2x 6700k bulbs 1x 18000k and 1 10000k bulb ... its the closest to a Metal Halide I've...

    Expenses double with tank size?

    Something else to keep in mind is that most of the bigger filters use the same Motors with different impellers on them. Ex. A fluval 405 only uses 1 less watt then a fluval fx5 ... and the difference in GPH is astounding. The lights may double in expense depending on your needs, But hey you...

    which of these fish should i get?

    Hehe I have to say striped raph. Thats my fave fresh water fish. All seem like decent choices if the oto was removed. Remember also red eyes can be fin nippy. And that would make me worryed about the angel. Also you have a few bottom dwellers now. Be careful that the Raph has his space as they...

    Adding extra charcoal to Penguin 200?

    I used to use loose carbon in all my bio-wheel filters. The reason was not only the cost of the filter carts. but more because of the small amount of carbon they place in said carts. I'm a Chem major and lets be honest. In an avg. sized tank that 2-6 grams of carbon they use is only doing...

    Looking for an idea

    Hello, I haven't been around much as work had to take over fish tanks :( But alas I have life sorted out (as much as it can be) and decided I needed a few fish tanks to get back into the hobby after almost a 9 months off. So I went to the lfs last weekend and picked up 4 Fluval Edge 6 gallon...

    What will eat blue-green algae?

    Did you test your water? My guess would be the slight change in the cycle may have given you a touch of NTS.
