I have been discussing LARGE tanks with NetMax and one just came to mind.
If you ever get to Nashville, TN there is a Mall right next door to the
Grand ole Opry with a restaurant called the Aquarium (or something like
that).  Outside the entry way there is a SW tank that is 10' to ...

Have any of you guys ever made a spawning mop? How do you make a good one?
How far apart should the strings be, what material, how many of them so on?
It's for a Threadfin rainbow

After a year, I have now given up completely on the Turbotwist. Decided to
warn others so they can save time and money... and safety.
I had the unit in operation for a couple months, during a routine cleaning,
noticed the quartz tube was full of water, with the UV light.

I have this issue on my hands where i have already gave up on searching for

already had two eels and two arowanas.

I am running a 50 gallon tank with 13 African Cichlids. I have two filters
attached to it, a eheim 2222 pro and eheim 2213. I've decided to chuck the

Today my  Convicts decided to have the eggs she's been getting ready for some time. I have them all isolated in a smaller tank and everyone one is doing great BTW.

Help Please!
I have a 20 gallon tank.  It is about a year and a half old.  It is a
community tank with tetras, guppies, peaceful bottom feeders.  I added 3
glo-lite tetras and the tank crashed after that.  I had 16 fish total and 2

I have a 4 foot tank with a Fluval Biolife internal filter in it.
Whilst it does a great job on the water quality and is pretty quiet
from MY perspective, it's deafeningly loud *inside* the tank.  If I
press my ear against the glass, all I can hear is a LOUD 50Hz hum of

Happy New Year everyone!  First time poster.  I set up a 26g tank
recently with 7 small cichlids.  Went to the freshwater cichlid ng and
got the FAQ (should have read the information before I posted to that
