it's me again...  Basd on the manufacturer's guideline, for a 37gal
tank, it seemed safer to get Fluval 304 instead of 204... Hagen web
site rates 204 for maximum 40gal tank, and 304 for 70gal.  based on
this information, 37G will be at the upper limit of it's operating

I have a 180L well planted and well stocked  community tank. Last week my
pair of Kribensis did the cave thing, and now they're busy shepherding a
load of tiny babies along the bottom, keeping all the other fish away.
What can I feed the babies?

Any idea what kind of tubing a Python uses, ClerFlex, Tygon? What about the
size,16/12?

I have an Algea Eater (Exactly which species I cannot recall) and it started
out about 1 1/2 inches long. Was watching it last night and realized that
this fish is getting BIG, like its about 8 inches long right now. When he
goes to the top of the tank (He sticks his mouth out of ...

I've decided to replace my HOT Magnum filter with Fluval 304 canister
filter... HOT Magnum has worked great, but I'm moving the fish tank to
a new location in the house (fun fun fun) and the new configuration is
not going to be HOT-access-friendly..

Hi, everyone, do you know that tourmaline sand is good for fishes?
Tourmaline can release 0.06mA bioelectricity in the water and
electrolyze bigger molecule group of water into smaller or single one
so as to activate water. Eradiate more than 90% FIR (far infrared ray),

This is probably somewhat predictable, but here we go.. :)
I recently converted my 55g tank to a Malawi setup, since that
was what fish I had left. I have set up loads of caves of various
sizes, so there are far more spaces to hide than there are fish.

I did it!  I think.  Anyway here is the address:

I'm considering getting a tank with an overflow, as I don't trust the HOB
overflow box I have. The GF are big enough now, that they can/have  knocked
the overflow loose. Besides it will give me an excuse to upgrade the

FWIW, Big Als has volumes 2 and 3 of Baensch's atlas for $22 each
softbound or $30 each hardbound.  Look under discontinued items.  
I can't swear that there isn't a better price somewhere, but I looked on
ABE and couldn't even find used ones for that price.

Well I lost my first fish 2 days ago.  he was in my new 20gal that I'm
setting up. I checked the water levels and all was good, except the
nitrite was at about .1 ppm. I changed the water and did a sponge
squeese into this tank from a sponge of another tank. The decisead fish

Far from finished, but I put some pictures on an unlinked page of my

I never really know what it'll look like until it's finished, and it'll

In my never ending persuit of a silent aquarium I'm considering moving to
modular fitration components similar to the pentair products.
I was thinking of using two mechanical filtration modules (each rated at 200
gallons) to not only polish the water from particulates, but act as
