I preffer online stores or any local store around Perth Amboy, NJ

I like very much the way sand looks,,,, but I want to make sure I get the nicest one before I go crazy buying stuff.. please help...

I want White, very White sand.

I Bought:

1 emperor 400 filter: Filters 400gph

1 aquaclear 110 filter: filters 350gph at max capacity

1 aquaclear 70 powerhead: 400gph (175gph reverse flow)

You think this will be good filtration for my 75gal lake malawi set up?

I have a emperor 400 filter, and will get eggcrate for the glass' protection....

What's best for cichlids... sand, gravel or crushed coral?

I should mention they are mbunas, lake malawi.. yelow lab, kenyi, and electric blue ahli

These are the cichlids that I will house together when I get my 75gal....

One male of each species and about 5females.....

I got my tank set up in mind... many caves and rocks...

My substrate: crushed coral for high buffering capacity

Any recommendations.. think this is a good selection of fish?

My pet shop sells cichlids as bracket water fish... Do african cichlids require salt in their water?... Please give details

When cichlids claim their territory, how much are we talking about?

How many inches of soil or water they claim and fight for...

Only one cave, one rock.. a couple of rocks.. or certain ammount of gallons?....

Thanks

Hi guys...

Soon I will be getting a 75gal, I was going to make it a planted tank,,, but I'm more Inclined to african cichlids... they are very interesting...

Ive read for a while on their aggression and habbits... How they like to dig... and which species are more agressive...

If you have experience with cichlids.. please tell me what would you think is the IDEAL setup....

I really like the yellow labs... because of their less aggresive temperament....But I also like zebras and convicts... .. Its aether Bright color, or blue stripes like the electric blue alhi......

What would you recommend... please tell me as much as your time permits you..... thanks

I'm getting a 75g tank... I will have 4-6 bala sharks, 2-4 denison barbs and 5 otto catfish... I know these are compatible, I read for a while on them...but... What else can I add...

I should mention it's a planted tank, 110watz .... with rocks and driftwood... a bio-wheel filter and a fine substrate (1/16")

Thanks

Right now I have a 29gal

In January Im planning on increasing it to a 55gal

I want to get a CO2 system for my plants.. but I really don't want to spend $250 or more.....

Anyone has a planted tank?... What do you use?

Please help.....

Ok guys, I've read for a while and I think I need to get the following:

1layer - flourite, for the plants to root

2layer - just a little laterite for nutrition

3 layer - any kind of gravel for decor purpose only

Is this correct... any recommendations?

Any liquids, procedure, tune-up... tell me everything.... thanks

My tank has been set up for 4 months.... the nitrite, nitrate and ammonia are very low and all other contitions are ideal.... for some reason I have many white dots in the water, covering all the water.....

Its 29gal, I have a few plants and about 15 fish 2" or less....

What could that be?

I have a 55w bright kit on my 29gal tank, and when I leave to work I put on top another 20w lamp.

That's 75w for 25g (29 less gravel and decor): 3w per gallon.

With that much light, how long will photosynthesis take?

I have a 29gal... currently I have the filter that comes with the kit... a regular power filter 300gph, with the carbon and fiber.....

Soon I will get a 400gph penguin bio-wheel filter and I will probably leave both running.....

Someone told me that with those filters I wont need an air pump in my tank to oxigenate the water.....

Is this true?

Canister, power, bio-wheel.... witch one offers the best combination of the three types of filtration?

Every boddy tells me I have to get more than 10,000k for my freshwater plants.... but none of them mention anything about the wattage..... Im kindda lost.... What matters most?

Whats the relationship between the watts and the "k's" and how do I combine them?

I want to add live plants to my 29 gal aquarium. Each one requires at least 2watz full spectrum per gallon..... 29 x 2= 58 so i figuire a 65-75watz will be good. Where can i find that kind of power for such a bad canopy? If possible.

I already changed over 40% of the water vacuuming the sustrate, and bought this pouch that's supposed to reduce nitrite..... is there anything else I can do??

There was this old man who always came in a horse to a local bar and asked for a strong drink. Every day the bartender asked: same as yesterday?, old man says: Stronger!!!

Than when on for a while until one day the bartender was in a bad mood. So the bartenders asks: you want it stronger right??

Old man: Stronger!!!!

OK... so he poors the ussual and sticks in a bullet on the glass. The old man, drunk already, drinks it as if noting was diffrent and leaves the bar.

Next day he comes and the bartender asks: Stronger???

Old man say NO!!! SOFTER!!!....

Bartender: SOFTER???? WHY??!!!

CUS I BLEW A FART AND I KILLED THE HORSE!!!!!!
