long

It's been a while since I've been on here, decided to do a short update. I am still in the process of moving/figuring out my living situation. So I finnaly broke down my 75 (my only big tank) and condensed it into three 10g's. I figured It would be much easier to move that way. All the fish...

When we are designing and constructing our aquariums, I sometimes wonder if we consider if we are building them for "the long run" versus "the short run."In other words, are we creating an aquarium that's designed from the start to be a showpiece, perhaps developed for a competition or temporary...

Picked up some fish at the last meeting and have had them in quarantine since. I treated with copper just as a prophylactic. Every thing is looking healthy and I'm anxious to move them to a bigger tank. How long do most of you quarantine fish? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

I was having a discussion with a customer a few days back, and we were talking about how long some of these aquatic botanicals will last in the aquarium environment. It's a good question, and a great topic for discussion! Almost the minute you submerge an aquatic botanical, it begins to...

Been a while since I posted pics, aside from a few in the photo contest... just some pics of a few of my many cichlids. -Rich

Are any of you using metal shelving (like at Home depot) for 20 long tanks? I see they have them in 36", but I need something that will better fit the dimensions of a 20 long due to space. Sent from my VS985 4G using MonsterAquariaNetwork App

Well its been atleast a year since the last time i have been on here. Just recently had my first baby. He is 6 months now and is starting to pay attention to his surroundings. Today my wife found that you guys had a few tanks on display right down the street at a Hilton. We decided to go down...

20 long complete with filter, light, glass top and two powerheads (not using) I just got from Craigslist for $30 Three small female Borelli blue that are yellowing up. I have two males coming tomorrow to add. I guess I will see how they get along. Plenty of caves but I may need to add more...

Hello all, Despite having freshwater/brackish water fish tanks for almost 4 decades, they've generally been smaller tanks in which HOB filters were sufficient. I was lucky enough to win a Marineland C-360 at Aquamania auction last week and have just finished installing on my 55. This 55 is...

I am moving from a HOB to a canister, and I currently have both running. I figure it's a good way to populate the canister with nitrating bacteria. But how long should I run both for before removing the old one? I'm trying to prevent a mini-cycle. 30g / 16 fish (Demasoni +1 pleco)

I have six Ancistrus in my 90 gallon tank. My Calico ancistrus who has a predilection for hiding mated with my son's albino long fin ancistrus he got at the 2011 ACA. I hope to grow out the babies once they absorb the yolk sacks. But they are in a war zone consisting of two GT's, two red...

dont feel like talking a lot, just have some cool pics and wanted to share. from my recently redone ebi, my 15,20l, 5.5s and 36. the 75 is in no-sharing-shape

Next month I will be gone for a solid 31 days on vacation. I will have my usual cat/dog sitter taking care of my fish. I currently have 2 tanks: 75 Tanganyikan, 29 juvie growout/community. Between now and my leaving I will also have 4 sets of fry (0-5weeks old...good timing:rolleyes:) in...

In october i made it to the meeting and scored 8 20 long tanks (Thanks Mike) by the time i made it home to lancaster one had broke :( Here is the result in progress :D this is not my first tear down and rebuild of a tank but it was the first one i have attempted to do with a broken panel...

Have lots of good HOB filters, air pumps, etc. +plants/fish. Regale me.

I have 36 watts of standard flourescent. I only have crypts in it right now. Would Java Ferns, Java Moss & Anubias Nana be good for this setup?

How long does it typical from hatching to the fry leaving the cave? I have a male who has been in the same hole for over a week.I saw eggs and hatched fry, but I haven't seen him leave the hole to be able to investigate their progress. Should I try to get the fry out? The temp is in the...

I've had these guys many years and spawned them before. But, I lost a bunch for no apparent reason a year or two go. Leaving me with some fry. Well, I have fry again! I was losing patients and about ready to sell them, glad I didn't! :jumpy: These are the pictures of the parents that died...
