Im having some trouble trying to find the right foods and feeding correct amounts. Sometimes I over feed, and many of the times suspect that the fish don't want to eat what their being fed. some details....... 10g BN pleco babies - have not yet touched cucumber or algae wafers... is...

Starting to plan/continuing to save for a new tank that I would like to be an African show tank once we finally find a new house to purchase locally. I was hoping for something at least 125 gallons but hopefully more. Not sure yet if I want to transfer Tanganyikans from my existing tank or...

This weekend I was able to get my new 135 gallon tank (thanks again to Tony for helping me get things up and running). This is my first tank that I've owned that was drilled for a sump, and being that it is an acrylic tank, I decided to use the sump for filtration. While I've been keeping...

So I have been called in as the SME on a pond install at my son's elementary school. Of course I've never had a pond so it's like asking Jim Kelly (no relation) about winning Super Bowls. I'm told the pond will be 200-250 gallons I'm told. A few questions: 1. What would people suggest...

I've noticed that some of my chitande masinje fry are randomly dying off. All the parameters are fine, and I do regular water changes. Is anything wrong? Also, I've noticed one of my one month old Saulosi seems to have either very small, undeveloped eyes or no eyes at all.

Greetings; I am new to this forum and would like to introduce myself. I have several aquariums from the typical freshwater 10 gallon to 10 & 29 gallon salt water to 29 & 55 gallon Discus, Oscars and lastly a pond in the back yard with Japanese Koi which were raised and showed. I have experience...

So I recently bought a 55 gallon aquarium at my LFS. I really want to make it an African cichlid tank, preferably lake malawi/mbuna cichlids. I have the filtration, heating and lids covered but how should I set it up? I was thinking about using slate for the rock, but I'm not sure. Also, what...

I have a 5-stage BRS 75/gpd RO/DI system and am thinking about increasing the capacity by going to a 100/gpd membrane as an alternative to putting in a booster pump. I know a booster pump will give me a lot more output but would I see any appreciable increase in outflow from simply switching to...

Last year I went to the Catfish Convention and the OCS. I bought heavily at both events but was far more impressed with the Catfish show, mostly because there seemed to be a greater variety of fish, both in rooms and at the auction, and the folks selling out of their rooms seemed to be doing it...

I recently picked up 2 AC 110's to run on my new setup. The tank they are on is 60 X 18 X 23 (I'll get pics up as soon as I have some time, it currently is the temporary home for a bunch of Dogofwar's fish). It is a really awesome sized tank, but is pretty deep. The filters currently have the...

Has anyone ever used RENA SMART HEATERS in your tanks? The LFS is clearing them out (cheap) and I don't need a heater, but WTF another heater is the start to another tank setup. :rolleyes: Any experiences and or info about them would be helpful. Also, they have under gravel filters for...

I'm wanting to upgrade from my Panasonic Lumix FZ5 point-and-shoot to a digital SLR. My main complaint with the Panasonic is the lack of manual focus and shutter speed settings. So far I've only looked at Canons, and have been wondering what the difference/s are between the Powershot and Rebel...

Right now I see a few duplicates on the point lists, i.e. Labeotropheus at both 10 and 20 points, there are others..... What about having the catfish on the list as well?
