Awesome build you have there!! I have got to build one of those someday.

I think I fall in with canadian.fish. I can't seem to keep one working very long either. I can help other people keep theirs running but not my own. Must be gremlins.

What was the topic for this thread again??? I lost my train of thought looking at Hot Slimes' avatar.:drool:

On tanks that I use finer sand in I used a larger than normal suction tube(a 20oz bottle with the bottom cut out), and fitted a ball valve on the hose to adjust the flow of water. Works like a charm, looks a little ugly though.

I'd pay to see it. :) Might be able to raise salmon in it.

Personally I would go with the driftwood and stones route. I used the bottom of a dead cyprus tree in a 125g and it looked great. Just whacked of what I needed with a bow-saw(chain saws can leave oil residue from the bar oil) and trimmed the roots to fit the tank. I soaked it in a clean barrel...

Thank you. I think this site is amazing! I have so many ideas running though my head right now my wife is about to kill me. She did like the idea of me getting her own 90g tank full of angels though. Bribery works sometimes.

MORE!?!?!?!?!

For all the stands I build for large tanks I prefer to use a piece of 3/4 or thicker ply on the top of the stand to help support everything. I just use standard as opposed to treated because of the chemicals in them. But as for your question, I would definitely make sure the tank is completely...

The best place that I can think of, that I use also is Glasscages.com. They sell it all! Look under specialty items at the bottom left of the homepage then select cut sheets. Hope this helps.

If anyone is interested give this product a try. It's UNIMIN quartz sand size 2040. It can usually be picked up or ordered from a masonry supplier. I like it for many reasons. It is cheap @ $10 for a 50lb sack, it looks very natural compared to pool filter or play sand which can be too much of...

Hello to everyone out there! Glad I found this site, wish I had found it years earlier. Lots of incredible information here to go through. Hope to be useful to someone during my stay here! I'm presently restructuring my aquariums and this site will be a great help. Thanks to everyone.

A picture is worth a thousand questions.

A couple of years back a fisherman caught a fish that he swore was a piranha at the tail end of the Albemarle sound. It turned out to be a 14" Pacu. People don't understand what these fish can live in and the damage they can cause. I will however, have to lay a lot of the blame on unscrupulous...

2.5 gals? It's just the right size for sweet tea. Go bigger if you have the room(30+). Give those fish room to run.

I use Eheim also. I have an old feed air model that works great. Some folks say they have a problem with moisture getting to the food, but mine has been working fine for over 3 years.

That is totally awesome! I would definitely like to do that here. You should charge admission.

A really nice shop is in a really out of the way spot. It's located in Plymouth, NC. The name of the shop is FishFishFish. They have a large selection for fresh, marine and pond. Great place run by great people.

When you find out about those gobies be sure and keep us posted. I'm looking for something a little hardier than the bumblebee.
