Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Great B-nest. I've got one of it myself. Don't know the specific name, but I can tell you that when happy it will grow extremely quickly, and will take quite a bit of abuse without pouting (I hack into mine with whatever tools I can find to prevent it from growing into any other of my...
Dan, how's your Duncan doing now? Did you get it from a reliable source? I'm simply asking because Duncans, when happy, will multiply quite rapidly, and many times inexperienced "fraggers" chop their colonies to keep them at a managable size, however, if chopped/fragged the wrong way, many will...
Sponge. I'm pretty certain, especially since I have TONS of that stuff growing in/around one rock. Mine gets so bad that I suck some of it out periodically. Never had any ill effects on anything whatsoever, however. I suck some of it out simply because I don't necessarily "enjoy" so much of it.
Olivier, could you possibly be seeing a phytoplankton explosion? I know shortly after I set up my tank my water appeared greenish as well, but it all settled over time.
Phyl & Rod, THANK YOU both so, so much!
Phyl, I would LOVE to get together again....puppy playtime included....if you're up for it. Bring the family, and we can all just hang out. :)
And I'd like to add something else. I've offered Brian and Billy to stop by and take their picks. Well, my...
I'm running a 29 gallon mixed FW tank (half fish/half frogs). I would think that if any of them had an odor if would be mine. BUT - it doesn't. None at all. Weekly water changes, along with changing out the filter carbon works wonders.
Before that I ran several FW tanks, and none of them ever...
Ditto what Refishbluefish said. I think it's a matter of personal preference. I've run my tank WITH UV for several months and noticed I had to clean my glass less frequently. I stopped using it, however, as I find more benefits in using a little more "dirty" tank.
Overall I'm pretty sure...
Thank you all so much for your nice words. More importantly, I genuinely want to thank you even more for the incredible support you've given me. I absolutely love my tank, and each and every animal inside it. I've gone through some rough patches with it - and continue to encounter challenges...
What are the dimensions of the tank? If it's not longer than 6', I would most definitely use T5s (80 Watters). If it's a 7 footer, I personally would probably resort to MHs as I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using 39 Watters side by side due to the depth. If it's an 8 footer I again would...
Sorry for the much delayed reply, but please accept my deepest condolences, Dave. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Many hugs to you and your loved ones. :'(
Unfortunately I have to part with my Firebelly Toad setup. I'll be re-arranging the room and will need the extra space.
You'll get everything you see, plus fish food and water conditioner. The setup consists of a 29 gallon aquarium, mesh top, light, thermometer(s), heater, filter, replacement...
So sorry for the much delayed response, but my sincere congrats on your anniversary, Paul. You both look fabulous and YOUNG! My motto is: You're as young as you wanna be. (My mind always agrees...but sometimes my body doesn't)
We'll be married 23 years this month. :) And no, I'm NOT old.
Great seeing you again, Billy! :) Looky, as soon as your new baby is up and running, please stop by, and I'll frag whatever catches your eye. It will be my gift to one hell of a guy!
