That associate has info not knowledge. If you want knowledge you read a book or talk to someone in an educational field. When you go around talking for knowledge you get opinions. Aquatics is a science and doesnt mix well with opinions. Read a book, like "The Naturalist Guide To Freshwater...

I hope you know that your RTC will be 24"'s in the first year and will require a 1000 gal tank at minium. You should really not overfeed them and try to restrict their growth as much as possible

You will never get 150$ and it will be very hard to find a home for the RTC. Really what you should do is euthanize it humanely if you cant take care of it. If you cant be responsible for a fish when its full grown then dont buy it as baby. This is why i work to ban these breeds, to prevent...

Remember overheads and canisters arent meant to establish "flow". Flow and filtration are two totally different things the only time they are the same is when someone has a closed loop system. Like the FX5 states "Filters 400 gallon" which is true, but it wont establish the needed flow for a...

The driftwood Tanins is what you want. For your system you would NOT use any carbon. This isnt about the look its about the natural water conditions your fish are used too.

I set up self sustaining farms with tilapia and every plant imagineable in 3rd world orphanages. So far they have been an absolute success.

The reason is more people look to advertising then science and facts when they set up their filtration. Truth is according to science that the Fluval FX5 is the worst type of filtration you can have. But due to advertising it is the "king". I laugh when i see people stack 2 or 3 of them as in...

You didnt adress one thing he called you out about. If you think glass compared to acrylic is "lighter, easier to move, and stronger than acrylic, then I don't know what to tell you." Any tank will be easy to move with suction cups and hydralic lift but most people dont have an extra 300$'s to...

Since when is acrylic tank 70% cheaper? They ARE alway more expensive.

avoid the petrol based products and use a latex lubricant. Oil is no good for fish tanks!!!

Just remember when the box says "FX5 900 GPH" its actually flow is only around 375-450 GPH. Canisters are really meant for ponds that dont have the benefit of gravity but advertising has brought them into the tank market. Anyway you slice the cake a sump will filter better and be way more...

I think he was trying to ask why do RTC shed. They shed regularly esp when PH changes

RTC are nocturnal thus you should never really see him active during the day given the proper environment. Also Hiding places are a must for catfish. Incredible, He should out grow the 300gal before his first birthday....If hes growing at the rate you state he will 2ft+ by then. These things are...

The dertroit home is broken when they pawn the 5000$ plasma TV for crack, its either crack or the TV....cant have both

LOL I knew you couldnt handle that RTC, thanks for proving me right!!!!!! Note to monsterfishkeepers dont by "monster fish" because they are on sale

Remember this is the guy who wanted to setup a kiddie pool in his living room... You mixed incompatable species and they starting killing each other, expected. The best advice anyone can give is to read a book an educate yourself away from arrogance.

Also some electric companies will charge WAY WAY WAY more in the higher tiers due to the fact that your using electricity for non essential purposes. Most states are chargin more per KW when high amounts electricity is be used for non essentials, which I do agree with. If you want to use 10-15x...

You should be able to find the explanation yourself. Put all your old bills together and compare klw to cost, also check if your plan changed and the rates increase to tier change. Has your klw ph gone up? If so by how much? It seems what you need to find out is if your energy USAGE has gone up...

Everytime i look on ebay they all say "socal"

LOL it seems all the good used tanks are in cali!!!!
