    FX6/FX5 Help

    It is sand substrate, been running both these filters on this tank with sand for years now. The new motor made this sound the instant it was plugged in. The only thing in this tank is 35 or so young tropheus (around 2") so nothing big enough to spit sand anywhere. I received the new motor...

    FX6/FX5 Help

    Here is a video of it, and as mentioned in the OP - this is an brand new motor, entire motor swap. Besides still making a loud buzzing sound, it's working as it should. Just driving me crazy.

    Rubber feet are still intact and are sitting flush with the floor. I'll see about getting a video uploaded.

    FX6/FX5 Help

    I have one of each on a 125 gallon tank, they are both buzzing loudly. It's my living room tank and I haven't been able to sit and watch anything without turning it up rather loud. Bought each of them about 3ish years ago give or take, regular maintenance throughout that time, no issues until...

    My Thorichthys Aureus tank

    These have been on my fish keeping list for several years now. Just it seems whenever I have the room for them, I can't find them.

    Water company added something to the water.

    I had this happen to a group of red heads I had a few years back. I almost gave up the hobby when it happened as I had grown these guys out since .75" fry and they were now 3 years old when it happened. Everytime I do a water change I still have that fear running through me.

    Gold Saum Orange Coloration

    All the saums in the tank are siblings, one the "females" (I'm suspecting might be a sub male or is just a really colorful female) has the same coloration. The other females in the tank are much darker with thinner lines so couldn't really get a good picture. I'm beginning to think that...

    Female Red Terror + Male Jack Dempsey?

    I bolded the part that I have always thought to be true which is why I have stayed away from them as my current housing situation makes the biggest tank I can get is 6 foot. Festae has been for years one of those fish I have wanted to keep but as my aforementioned limited tank size, I haven't...

    Female Red Terror + Male Jack Dempsey?

    Don't mean to thread hijack, but reading this thread had me now wondering - What would be suitable tankmates for a female RT in a 4-6' tank? I'm eager to hear back from you if the Texas works well.

    Male or female JD

    I'd have to agree that you have yourself a nice little female there.

    New 125g setup sa cichlids

    That combo won't work either. 1. A Red Terror (festae) will murder everything else listed. 2. Green Terror's are too aggressive for Red Heads 3. Hoplarchus Psittacus get a bit too large IMO for a 125g First figure out what you want from this tank because right now it's a mix between a...

    I'd like to add an eel to my tank

    My question is, which one. The tank I want to add it to is the Gold Saum and Silver Dollar tank. I've kept a Zig Zag in the past with great success with a CA/SA cichlid tank and the eel was by far my favorite fish in the tank. Very personalable and was eating bloodworms out of my hand. The...

    Gold Saum Orange Coloration

    He's in the solid 5+" range right now. Those are some bulky silver dollars in the background there. His body coloration is gorgeous, solid green/blue throughout and as you can see, very relaxed (he knows he's the top dog of the tank). The tail coloration is really growing on me the longer I...

    Gold Saum Orange Coloration

    He has great genetics, bought him local and his dad is a stunner. I'm wondering if spawning from an early age and so often might cause any issues? From right around the 2" mark he has been kept busy between the 3 females he's with.

    Gold Saum Orange Coloration

    Wasn't sure what to title this, but is there anything that I can do to help the orange on a Gold Saum come in more? Was thinking something alone the lines of foods and what not? Male in question below - has 3 females in a 125.

    Stocking for an office tank

    72g Bow front - 30 gallon sump Looking for suggestions for a fun office tank stocking. People want to go reef because you can have fish, shrimp, crabs, etc. and everything is colorful and looks different. I don't have the time to maintain a reef tank at work so want to do freshwater. I was...

    Small Leak - Fixing Options

    Have a 72 BowFront that has a small leak somewhere on the front trim. If I let the crusty white hard water build up that will plug it and cause it to stop leaking - it just looks horrible. Since this is such a small leak and obviously if hard water build up can stop it, I'm thinking there has...

    Olivers son

    Oliver's son has spawned with the larger females, I have free swimming fry already from the pair. I was thinking I would need to separate them because she is being BRUTAL to him whenever he's near, but luckily she doesn't go far from her fry and it's a 6ft tank so he as a lot of room to run.

    Interior Background Options

    I was excited and thus rushed getting up one of my 125g tanks and didn't notice until everything was up and running that I should have cleaned the back glass on the outside. Since I can't physically move the tank (and it's against a wall) the only option to clean the glass is to get a step...
