Hi there, Originally Posted by vsecret I was thinking of getting a blue hippo to add to my tank, that only has 2 clowns in it now. and i was def. going to get a yellow tang as my last fish i add further down the road. Should i stick with the blue hippo or a powder blue? because i doubt that i...

Hi there, Originally Posted by beckto Not sure if you wanted to use glass for a specific reason, but I built one out of acrylic. After much research I determined it was easier/cheaper than glass. Tons of info from google. Not sure if the price of acrylic is cheaper than glass. I thought it...

Hi there, Originally Posted by Shyshko08 I got the dimensions I need but I'm having trouble calculating the dimensions of the panels that I need. I wanted to build a small tank with the following dimensions: 31"(L) X 10"(W) X 15"(H) with a glass thickness of 1/4inch. Can anyone help me figure...

well can you show me that cyanobacteria does not have anything to do with nitrogen fixation?

Has anyone had a problem with hydrogen sulfide in your aquariums?

Hi there, Originally Posted by PEZenfuego It's a big investment. I would rather be patient and ensure that I am doing it right than to jump in because I'm impatient. Both ways work, but the right way works 100% of the time. Cycle is such a general term. Truly there is more to it than just...

Hi there, Originally Posted by lil.guppy Ammonia 0 nitrite/nitrates 0 ph stable (how does this assures your tank has reach a stable environment for live stock. Every tank when first starts the ammonia is 0 and the nitrites is zero. Does this imply the tank has "cycled".) If you add one fish...

Hi there, Originally Posted by KDawg So do you think it might be the flow in my tank (Yes). That is the only thing I see that I can change right now. I don't much really like pointing any of my powerheads at my sand because it blows around too much. Any sugestions on my flow would be...

Originally Posted by florida joe fresh water and how much do you top off in a month Yeah it is freshwater, I top off maybe once a month of that. Also in 2 of my 6 10 gallon saltwater tanks I have 3-damsels in each. I used to do water changes every week on both. Now I have started to cut back...

Originally Posted by PEZenfuego Well I got that, but I thought he would have to bait it. I just didn't see why a fish would chance to swim in there I think the feeding part (incentive) was ovious aswell, but seems as if you got the picture though.

Originally Posted by meowzer And it is only one piece of plexiglass cause he is going to trap it in the corner or the tank.... Exactly, did not think it was that complicated to envision how it will work. Wether it does or not is a whole different subject on it's own.

Originally Posted by PEZenfuego Obviously you are wrong. If that were a true statement I would not have asked. Well if I am wrong let Shaggyblz correct me. He has created a piece of plexy glass with a trap door on the top. The door will close vertically by sliding on the white panel light...

Hi there, Just wanted to add to the comment above (cyanobacteria). look very closely at the last picture and see if you can detect a pattern. If you can than you have analysed your tank and came to a conclusion, just implement a solution and hopefully it will work out for you.

Hi there, Originally Posted by ncabw I'm looking at building a tank 74" x 30" x 30" was wondering if 1/2" glass would be thick enough? i have found different web sites saying 1/2" is good then i read 3/4" is what i need. Well it depends on the stregth of the glass you are going to use (for...

Not that it means anything or that it is the same thing but; I have a ten gallon gallon tank with 4-goldfish that I have not done a water change in about 4-1/2 years. They are still doing great and living their lifes. To add to that I have HOB filter and only change the media once a year. Not...

Originally Posted by PEZenfuego How is it supposed to work exactly? And why exactly is your name shaggy balls? You can tell how it is suppose to work just by looking at it. Nice idea by the way, hope it works.

Hi there, As I understand it; the amount of disolved salt in set volume of water does not change due to the water temperature. If you have 34 parts per million (ppm) of disolved salt in a water column of set volume, than it says you have 34 parts of disolved salt in 1 million parts of water...
