    Homemade food ?

    I wanted to start making my own food, because it is getting harder and harder to find prepackaged frozen food where I live, and I can't get anything fresh so everything is frozen. If I buy shrimp, squid and clams that are already frozen, thaw it out, chop it all up and mix it together, then...

    Help, clown's eyes bulging

    For the last couple of days, I have noticed that one of my Clarki clown's eyes (mated) are bulging. They look like they are ready to pop out of its head. Is there something wrong? I have never noticed this before and my other one seems to be doing fine.

    My tank is leaking

    I have had my 55 g fowlr for about a year now and the other day I noticed a salt residue all the way around the bottom of the tank. It's not a real fast leak, but enough to make ya worry. I have read on here about the problems and instead of trying to fix it, i'm just going to upgrade to a...

    I had a hard time using a hose to start the siphon, so we used plastic wrap and rubber bands.

    Bluefine pygmy angel

    Newbie with power heads/set up ?

    I have a 55 g tank and 2 maxi jet 900's and I'm not sure if I have them set up right. I have the short filter grid on instead of the undergravel filter adapter. Do I still use the air control valves and tubes? I know that sounds kind of dumb, but I have read the instructions over and over and it...

    If I use....

    If I use a mag 7 pump with a wet/dry filter (skimmer built in) would I still need powerheads? I read somewhere on here that I would need 550 to 835 gph (i think, i hope) and the pump is rated at 700 gph. I'm in the process of setting up a 55 gallon fowlr.

    Whats a good filter?

    I didn't know if you had enough LR you didn't knee a filter. How cool is that!! I'm assuming you still need power heads? Todd, Thanks for your input. The lfs here recommended it and wasn't too sure if I should go with it or not. I have found it a lot cheaper online too, so that helps. I...
