    Uv light

    i am guessing you have sunsun/ Grech filters? The white R2D2 looking ones? I have a 150 gallon tank with 2 grech 305B filters with 9W UV each and i have had very good results. More is not going to hurt IMO Depends what fish you have as well and water quality they require

    feeding issues with my redtail catfish

    tigercat, I feed my RTCs night crawlers right out of the box and they are fine but if you want to be safe get a strainer and run fresh clean water over them before you put them in. My RTC, TSN, and Hybrid all will hesitate whenever i change their diet to something new and unfamiliar. The way i...

    Anyone feed their RTC/TSNs anything interesting?

    i like the idea of frogs. My catfish seem to really enjoy live food and are much more active because of it. I hand feed them all sorts of other stuff as well but i will try frogs. I keep anything that is going to be fed to them, that's living, in a quarantine tank for a week with heavy UV and...

    New tank=happy cats

    You cannot call BS on it being 150 gallons because Monster Minis is correct it's from petsmart... My wife is a manager for petsmart and i got that 150 for 300 bucks brand new on a technicality. And the acrylic tank was going to cost about 6Gs for just the glass. The company who built it sells...

    Need Magnetic Powerheads

    Thanks for all the great info guys! My catfish just likes to cause trouble in the tank when it comes to ornaments and anything eatable. I just bought a power head that has one huge suction cup that is not removable and requires screws to take apart. This far he has not gotten it into his belly...

    No Typo. The Tank i am having build is 10 ft long 30" deep and however many inches tall comes out to 1500 gallons. My limiting factors were 10ft and 30". The 30" is how wide my door frame is in the front of my house. The foundation in my dining room has been beefed up alot when we built the...

    New tank=happy cats

    So u think the rtcs would be ok in the heat but not in the cold? What if I had some industrial heating system I could guarantee the water would stay above 70-75 all the time? Sent from my iPhone using MonsterAquariaNetwork app

    New tank=happy cats

    Thanks Guys. I am well aware of how fast these guys grow. I had both of them since they were about 2" long and they have moved tanks like 5X. They started in a 20 gallon and grew out of it in the first month. I had a 40 gallon cube they went into for another 2 weeks after that while they're 75...
