i asked for a camera for christmas, "santa" saw fit to deny me of said pleasure.

Its a legit terror, got him from a local breeder his parents are still alive and kicking and both true GT's as well, his dad is actually a wild caught (shhh, not supposed to do that!!!) about 2 yrs ago when my mates when on a holiday, but the mum is local, was surprised to see them breed, just...

3.5 - 4 inches. not even a nanometer over 4 though.

The cheaper the better in my opinion, every airstone will break down over time, even the 30 dollar "super amazing" ones. So go online and find those cheap white tube ones that are 5 for a dollar or something like that. I use whisper air pumps, they aren't the strongest but they last longer than...

Hello all. Ill apologize up front for not having pictures as my posts can sometimes get confusing :lol: Just re-homed my GT to a 75gallon bow front Filtration - 15gallon wet/dry sump 25 gallon refugium. -5g return -10g refuge -10g FBF (moving bed filter) K1 media Math says 985gph, but...

I run massive ammounts of air through my water, i just do it in the sump in the fluid bed filter, just tons and tons and tons of aeration and mobile media. Using air stones in a tank is beneficial in a lot of areas, but caution must also be taken. The air filter sucks in anything in the air...

That blue light is probably from a previous marine setup, undoubtedly an actinic light. Pop it out in favor of a 54 watt 6700k bulb, most people know this bulb as "the pink one" Good luck and have fun -TGC

sorry about my first post, i seem to have been out of my mind. Check out Melev's Reef this guy has sumping down to a fine art, and if you find you just cannot get what you want on your own (which he is more than happy to help you with) he will make and ship one to you. I have seen a few of...

I was tickled by this, and thought, surely i wouldnt overlook that. So i experimented. Pends on how far from the tap you are, and height. I would go from tank in dining room, then all the hose to the ground (5ft) then all the way to the kitchen, up 4 feet to the sink, it trickled and stopped...

Now we just need some definitive answers! :lol: Mikalia - what water type are you pulling your wood out of, what do you know to look for as good and bad, as i do not know how to detect things that would be harmful to my fish. Lorax - the leeching of saps into the water, can sufficient...

So i am to gather that rotting i guess im confused about the difference between rot, and natural decomposition. I live in a rural area, and can find large busted up chunks of wood, branches, sticks of that nature, i have no idea of the time they have spent outside nor what wood they are, but...

It didnt say much of anything, said "im new", so i gave some standard, "new" advice. No offense was intended.
