I don't know the weight. It will be gone tomorrow, I would just prefer it goes to someone on here.

Someone may be picking it up tomorrow (Saturday) but he has been a huge pain (haggling) so I would love to sell it to one of you guys instead.

For sale: Laguna Heavy Duty Preformed Pond Liner. 46"x69"x25", 340 gallons. This is strong enough to be a free standing pond (doesn't have to be in the ground or supported). This pond is like new, used for about one year and has some algae on the inside. It sells new for about $270-300...

There shouldn't be any fish parasites living in the substrate without a fish host. I do not like gravel, it traps way too much debris which leads to many problems. IME sand is a great option. Not only is it much more natural for them, but traps almost no debris and is much easier to clean...

The denitrifying bacteria that remove nitrate are anaerobic and only grow inside rocks (like live rock or Seachem Matrix). They can't live with the same oxygens levels as the nitrifying bacteria that consume ammonia or nitrite and require oxygen.

What would you have to move up? There is nowhere in the house for the 180?

I think every one is assuming the filters will never stop running, which is a dangerous assumption. I have seen tanks saved by the air stones that had been running when the main filtration stops for one reason or another. As stated, bichirs have a great chance if this happens, but unless there...

I cram it in to a tray in the canister as tight as I can fit it, never had it leave that tray.

Two things have to happen for a disease to occur 1-the pathogen is present and 2-the fish are stressed. Without BOTH of these things happening the fish will not get sick. Our tanks are not sterile so that is not usually the problem. The stress is your real culprit. If you do nto remove the...

As long as it is 100% polyester with nothing to kill mildew or anything it is fine.

If you already have the jardini just move it and all the filtration on its current tank. This will instantly cycle the 125 for the jardini's bioload. To be safe you can skip feeding a few days, this will lower the bioload. Waiting won't help anything unless you are fishless cycling it, which is...

Check out all the bristles that have developed on my flash pleco.

I run air stones in every freshwater tank because I have seen them save entire tanks when filters decide to stop working, which does happen. If only bichirs are in the tank they have a much better change of making it without any active aeration because of their ability to use atmospheric air...

Saltwater livestock is pretty sensitive, most likely you would have problems at some point or another. Why not keep it inside?

Either way there are better foods out there for about the same cost. Go with NLS, buy it by the bucket online. As good as it gets and very affordable.

New Life Spectrum is very affordable online, and you can't beat the quality.

A sump doesn't clog faster than a canister. With a sump as soon as the mechanical media is clogged at all the water just goes around it and doesn't get cleaned. Dirty media is good, it means it is doing its job of collecting debris. Open up the FX5 and lay down that media next to what you pull...

Except that the water goes up the outer ring and down the center ring in the FX5s...that is why the fine mechanical media goes in the top center tray to get as many particulates out before it has a chance to clog the biomedia. The overall flow in a sump will not be reduced, but the flow where...

When media is clogged in a sump the water just goes around it, not being filtered. Except this happens much easier in a sump since it is open and there is always an easy way to bypass media. Unlike a canister, which wouldn't lose flow if the bypass was as bad as sumps (not to mention that the...

Diets like that may not provide the best results in the end. Without a high quality pellet involved the diet can be missing a lot, and be very unbalanced (lots of protein unabalanced by other vital nutrients. By 'that' I mean the way you feed your fish. One goal of the article is to help...
