project

Well I finally picked up my first "big" tank this weekend (Thank you Jesse!!) so let the fun begin!! It's a drilled 125 gallon acrylic tank. 60"L x 18"W x 24"T It needs some TLC so it will truly be the project tank I was looking for. I have to: 1. Clean up the tank see how much scratch...

So, after the tank I wanted was sold, and the other tank my dear mother decided would be "too much of a hassle" to get in the house, I can't get mbuna or peacocks. So, I thought about what has been on my list of things to attempt to breed, and I got it. Bettas. When I first got...

After finally successfully breeding Kribensis, I want to try something else. I want to get some ideas that will go in a 29 gallon with 5 platys, 4 guppies, and 7 neon tetras. Anyone got any ideas? I don't really want apistos, I want something else. Any ideas?

I'm hoping someone with more experience with DIY LED projects can help me sort out any potential gaps in my plan (or better yet say there aren't any). I'm hoping to order the parts soon so I can get the fixture built well before the June 8th meeting. I have some experience with circuits and...

My coworker's daughter wants to do a science fair project about a balanced aquarium. Knowing my knowledge in the hobby, her mother came straight to me. I proceeded to explain all the requirements including proper water chemistry, preparing the water for the types of fish it will house, airation...

Well.. After the 180 issue and sale to someone who I feel can repair and use it, I had decided to reset and get more focused on what i want to keep, breed, and rehome.. And then as usual I found another tank. I am sure some of you may have come across it on CL, but I finally worked out a...

Since I bought a few newts at Aquamania I figured they needed some nice digs to live in. I have been working on this for the last few days. I still may add a clay wall and some more plants once I figure out what I want and what will work. This is my second attempt at keeping newts. the first...

I want to start tracking the growth of my young African Cichlids (and synodontis lace catfish). It should be interesting to look back in a couple of months (years) to see how much they've grown. I don't know of any way to insert charts so I'm going to have to do this the best that I can...

Well... He tried.. and seems a little disappointed. Thanks to Arlene for the Shellies to study for his school's science project. Not sure why he wasn't graded better, but evidently we did not have Cichlid fans do the judging. He received a pink ribbon (yeah pink for an 8 yr old boy.. lol). The...

i am looking to do a planted tank with angels and maybe some discus for my wife. as you can see by my signature block i have no experience with anything outside of the monster realm... any advice on doing the plant thing will be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone... Need a little help. My little guy got all excited about entering a Science Project at school (he's 8). Since he went to the expo last year he has been buggin' me for "shellies" as he refers to them. I thought a cool project would be to put together a small 10 gallon or 20...

My good friends Rose and Tony Orso laid a couple of very nice Betta on me to photograph. I purchased two plastic boxes at a local craft store. One I painted with a black background and the other I left clear. I set them up on top of a piece of eggcrate suspended across two cinder blocks...

Just ordered 6 of these off of Amazon. 2" diameter. Full write-up to come when they arrive.... Any ideas? I'm sure someone knows what they're to be used for.

Anything electrical seems advanced to me, but I think this is pretty basic. Anybody out there who can help me, including providing drawings? First, are adapter and "transformer" synonymous? I use them interchangeably, but am not sure. "Wall wart" is the best term I've seen. I have a train...

Good afternoon, I currently am working on a long term project for my wife's tank. Unlike most women that I know that are into fish my wife likes the more active and aggressive fish. Her favorite as of now being a M. Chipokae. They are currently growing out in a 56 gallon tank that is the size...

In the past I have posted some pictures of projects on here for the amusement of the masses. Seems like many people delight at the site of me ripping the house apart and then trying to repair the damage I create. lol So get ready all. I will start emptying the cabinets today and this week...

Well last year my friend told me you can make shrink heads out of apples. I decided to give it a go, but no shrink heads, just an apple. I carefully put on latex gloves (no bacteria contamination), skinned the apple and placed it on a bowl. I did not touch the apple since last year. Here's...

Welcome Back to the club Juan AKA the fish project.
