fish selections.... 10 gal, going to 55 gal soon.

[Frosty]

would make sense, my fish tanks are in my dining room right next to kitchen. You going to be up for a while? I got the urge to carry on about fish related topics.

Yeah for a little while, I'm watching SNOWMAGEDEN 24/7 coverage... They called off work tomorrow so I get to stay up late

so....keep my aquaclear 70 and put it on the 125 gal later, or return and get another tank at petco's dollar a gallon sale to build me a filter/refugium sump?

 

[Frosty]

Well the filter, refugium setup will probably be more stable, but may be a lot more hassle than it's worth. A good canister filter with a solid maintenance schedule will be the thing that makes or breaks the tank.

originally I was wanting to have 2 or 3 HOB filters and a canister(or two depending on which one I buy) or a refugium. originally was thinking about growing pothos in the refugium to work on nitrates, thus not as many water changes.

Fish tank nerds! I haven't the foggiest idea what you guys are talking about! I thought you add water, add fish, stare at fish, fish die, flush fish! Geez o peez!

You're drunk, go back to your twerking thread

 

[Caleb]

So...I have this tank pretty much full and no leaks so far. I'm considering resealing it before I silicone a 3D background on...should I reseal it now to save me trouble later, or just put the background in and deal with leaks later?

 

[Caleb]

Dirty tank before cleaning:

Almost clean tank today:

 

[Caleb]

I also added 2 bristlenose plecos...so far, no bloodbath between them and my cichlids.

Slight thread jack, how do you get rid of ****ing ***** ass ****ing snails?

I picked up some free snails with some free fish recently and you know snails, if you have one, you have a thousand. Literally.

This is our 180 gallon freshwater tank on a custom built stand. The top of the tank is at 6' and we originally had it as the focal point in our living room. Sadly the current house doesn't have the space in the living room and it has been relegated to the spare bedroom. Is it crazy to think about adding an additional 750 square feet to the house so we can enjoy our aquarium?

Get yourself a clown loach, they love snails, mine will kill any I put in the tank.

 

[femurphy77]

Clown loaches eh? I had heard they might work but with a couple of endorsements like that I'll give them a try. Thanks!!

You won't regret it, they are cool, they are shy at first but once they get used to things they will be out and about more. Mine never used to come out with the lights on, but I put a nice piece of drift wood in for him to hide in and he comes out all the time now, heck he's down right sociable now!

 

[Caleb]

I also want a clown loach...gotta see if they are compatible with my other fishes.

 

[Caleb]

So who here said they can build custom stands and hoods for fish tanks? My oldest daughter keeps getting in my tanks.

 

[Caleb]

Slooooooooooooow progress. Why does it seem to get a bigger tank in order takes longer then a smaller one?
