also, what kalvin rating is the lightbulb? 

fixed :D

I'm looking into purchasing a canister filter for my 55 mbuna tank, but I'm having a hard time with what one I want.   I want it to be my primary filtration on my tank (with ample filtration for an overstocked tank) good flow no bypass easy prime QUIET!! <--hate how loud HOB's can be with sand...

Dude.. Electric yellow isn't a fish.. But thanks. That could be a kenyi.. A yellow lab, etc..

it looks like a Labidochromis Caereleus.. but notice no black markings.. that's why i asked.

what about pool filter sand? silica #20?

.......       would this sand be safe anyone? http://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/landscaping-materials/ground-cover-materials/white-play-sand/p-1934742-c-5784.htm

Okay, so this is my first sanded tank, and so far I literally hate it. I have 2 HOB's atm.. and the sand has already destroyed 2! (now the 2nd 2 are starting to go! I have sponges on the intakes of the filters, but sand still gets up there. I cleaned the sand really well, and still no luck. I...

my 60 days will be the 14th.. can i enter? :D

Was sold as a yellow lab, just trying to figure out what it is                

McCool, i'm sorry to hear it :( but, angels are finicky.. I love them, they are gorgeous.. but i'll never get them again.. they are so prone to sicknesses. 

otto's will get eaten in a cichlid tank?

plants with that should be okay

gotta be careful! no bacteria remember? so def watch nitrI and ammo.. I <3 prime!

I have my lights on 7 hours a day.. 35% WC weekly.. idk..

I would.. and dose Prime to remove ammonia as well (not much needed)    But, it's also a touchy subject because he's not in a tank with a filter.. tough position :/

Okay.. so my 55 has been established for quite some time.. but almost biweekly my glass gets so dirty from almost a brown algea.. and i squeegee it off.. just wondering what it's coming from or if it's harmful?

McCool I had the same thing happen, and I picked up a treatment that is pretty much the same thing.. Did you follow the directions specifically? most do a weekly medication, with dosing every other day and the off day doing a water change.. not sure on that one but make sure you're following the...

I'm rehoming all the fish with the exception of the Blood Parrot, and doing a cichlid tank.. thanks for the help though guys(and girls?)

yes

Okay, so as of this weekend, My tank is going to get completely rehomed (mostly) and want something new..,   I have plenty of river rocks and fake plants ( i mean an unrealistic amount as I can't keep real plants alive)   So, here's what I want to keep, but would like suggestions on bigger fish...

thank you Liam. I'm well aware of the size, but I'm also very aware of the growth time. I just want to make sure he's okay. Liam did you happen to see the video?

Hey all. So, I have a 55 that's been up and running for quite some time now.. but it's been boring.  Here's the stocking: 10 cory's 1 firemouth 10 blackskirts 1 blood parrot and a recent aquire.. the black ghost knife. I set up multiple caves for him to chill in (one being a hollow (coral)...

gj17! yeah, there's plenty of help located on this forum. Check out the beginners Resource center (you can click the link in fluttermoth's sig) and that should answer a lot of the questions you'll be having! anything else, feel free to ask!

glass cut to size at your local hardware store, I priced it before and it was going to be a total of $12 for the glass on my 55 gallon tank (4 pieces so I could slide the front ones back) and you could look into a standard 48" shop light 

Glad I didn't say I was 100% correct :D lol

oh, okay much more! lol, thanks for clearing the confusion. And yeah, they will all fit but definitely bump up the schools as I posted (or more). I think there's something to be said about a massive school of neons..

welcome to the forum Momma! post pics of the 55 :) I love my cory's!

welcome to the forum bob! 

i just did a quick google search. yoyo's only grow to 6in and eat snails, this might be of help as well.

I thought there were other loaches that help with this as well? I believe yoyo loaches

sounds like they're close to hatching, but i've been wrong before. From my understanding, nothing to worry about, But wait around and someone with better experience will be able to give you a definite answer.

cut a piece of cardboard to just fit the hole, and tape one side down, and make a handle of tape on the other side. makes a door for the feeding area :)

okay, so total stock is: 3 neons 3 hex barbs 6 penguins 4 danios 6 shrimps?   If this is correct.. Your stock is off by a long shot unfortunately. I'm not familiar with the BIORB's so I don't know gallon size if it can fit them all, but the neons need a school of 6, same with the danio's (which...

that's so awesome! hmm.. might have to look further into this!

what kind of fish is 7? VERY NEAT

what's there temperament like? the old lady want's one, and was told they're reather difficult to keep as well, it's gorgeous! 

you're slightly overstocked, but can be done.. Make sure you don't overfeed and maintain a good weekly 30% water change. Are you aware of the Nitrogen cycle?

although, you'll have to part with these amazing fish, they are gorgeous!
