Okay guys, I am getting all kind of mixed reviews and would really like some info as quick as possible because I need to order this heater TONIGHT. My question is, are Under the tank heating pads okay for plastic snake enclosures like boaphiles or herpcages? Some of the manufacturers have a...

Okay. I have some Eco Earth I was going to make for a humid hide I was going to build for them, should I use that for the substrate instead and use something else for the humid hide or ditch that idea all together? Also, how difficult is the Eco Earth as a substrate to clean? Sorry for all the...

Just took my first step into the world of herps; got two Crested Geckos, one male and one female, a pair...and should be getting a Ball Python within the next week or two. I have researched their care, but would like to ask some of the expert hobbiests on here for any tricks, tips, or advice on...

Who is a good vendor of Tanganyikan cichlids? I am very limited in my area when it comes to Tanganyikans as Mbuna are so popular (and for good reason, as Mbuna are amazing cichlids) and I have so far only been able to locate Julidichromes, Neolamp. Brichardi and Leleupi; in the past I have seen...

Good, bad or indifferent? Also on useage, is it necessary to remove carbon from all the filtration in order for it to be effective?

Hmm, for some reason this video is blank on my screen. Could you link me instead? The other video was incredible, by the way; such a beautiful array of fishes!

Wow, lots of tough choices. I think I like some of the tanganyika ideas the best, but I also love the idea of the tropheus species tank, however, I have no clue if there is any place down here where I could that many dubois from. Mbuna are pretty cool too, but I feel llike it would be hard to do...

Oh, I also really, really like Tropheus. Especially Duboisi.

Admittedly, I have always been a New World cichlid kind of guy. I just got a new 55 gallon among the myriad of other tanks that are already cramped into my apartment (more tanks than living space lol) and am now contemplating an African setup. I am looking for advice. Malawi/Mbuna, Tanganyika, I...

I added three Aqua Lace rocks in the hope that I could use that as a more natural looking way to raise my PH, however, it had virtually no effect that I can see in the test strips. Still at 6.0 or below. So either I need to add a lot more Aqua Lace, or go the Crushed Coral or Aragonite route...

I agree. Would Aragonite work just as well? The only issue I can see is that putting crushed coral or aragonite in the filter is going to take up media space, which stinks. Maybe I should just replace the entire substrate? But then again, I don't want the ph to be at 8 or anything like that...

That being said, as of this last month I have visible nitrates now , somewhere between 10 and 20 ppm, and I have no nitrates whatsoever in my tap water...this is all so very confusing. I had an ammonia spike, but no fall. I had a nitrite spike, then after I did a water change (during which I...

So, I have had a 125 gallon tank that hasn't cycled in the past four to five months I have had it set up...could not for the life of me figure it out. I have a juvenile jack dempsey fish, he was a rescue fish, and he has been in there with ammonia levels that have been just uncontrollable, but...

By the way, I love your avatar -- I am a huge GSP fan and am hoping he beats the snot out of Shields at the end of this month!

I would initially think Marine Warehouse as well, but it is actually Petland of Bradenton. We get some neat stuff in from time-to-time.

Anyone have any luck breeding Red Tiger Motaguense? The LFS I work at just picked up four juvies; three males and one female and I am thinking about giving it a try. Any tips, advice, or experiences to share?

idk...

Tank has been cycling for a while now, it is a 55 gallon. My ammonia spiked, nitrite appeared, and then nitrate appeared, my nitrite then dissapeared, but I still have ammonia present. I have, as of now: Visible Ammonia (Less than 1.0 PPM...it is hard to read on the card) 0 Nitrites and...

I have a 55 Gallon right now with a Fluval 305 and an Emperor 400 on it -- I have been trying to cycle the tank but I am getting weird parameters now, I now have over 2.0 ppm of Ammonia, 1.0 ppm of Nitrite, and 10 ppm of Nitrate. For some reason I went from having no Nitrite and no Nitrates to...

Looking to get two Paratilapia Polleni (small spot) from a pet store, one that I believe to be a male, and one that I believe to be a female. They are going in a 75 gallon, the male is probably a good 6 inches at least, while the female is a little smaller, Two questions...one, these fish have...
