    Opinion: Do you like your tank long or wide?

    Great size you got there! I was thinking longer for the fish as well after reading a post by Lee regarding tangs and angels. 48x24x25 is the 120 I'm thinking of buying. It is as wide as my arm is long hehe.

    Opinion: Do you like your tank long or wide?

    As a community, we all have tanks of various sizes, shapes and gallons. So what do you like most about your tank, or what would you rather have more of? I'm getting ready to buy a tank is May and I cant decide on the dimensions. I'm either going to go more wide with a 48L 24W 24-31H or I'm...

    Where can I buy acrylic rods, sheets and weld-On?

    not sure where everyone gets their fancy acrylic stuff, but I get mine from Home Depot and Lowes. PVC works as well, alittle cheaper too.

    Pale flame angel

    Alot of the time, fish show signs of water quality and stress out. Fresh water fish are famous for color fading and frayed fins especially when the ammonia gets high. I would start with the water quality parameters. On a seperate note, you know about every description of any dwarf angel, says...

    need little help

    Anything that requires light? One day of lights out isn't enough to reduce algae. What are your water parameters? Its got to be feeding on something. In my experience, green blooms are cause by either excess feeding, extensive light period or bad water quality.

    need alittle help

    If you dont have anything that requires light, then you can cut the lighting periods down.

    Epoxy and glue

    the color I've used is grey and to the untrained eye it probably looks just like a part of the rock. Its just me being over critical.

    Epoxy and glue

    LOL just dont touch anything until it dries...especially yourself :) I've used to use the epoxy but only with frags already attached to a rock. I stopped using it awhile back because, to me, it doesn't look natural. I can always tell where the expoxy was placed even after a year of being in the...

    peppermint shirmp not as effective as I though

    I had a peppermint shrimp for about 2 years, he only ate the little ones. The big ones I had to kill manually. He was pretty cool, but he would disappear for 4 months at a time, emerge for about a week bigger than before and then disappear again.

    Considering some Lionfish

    Despite popular belief, lions dont get their main food source from fish, its actually from shrimp and the like. Lions are ambush hunters, meaning they arent going to be swimming all day. WIth all those fins its hard work! They arent fast enough to chase fish around like a grouper or a snapper...

    black out sides of tank

    every kiddie pet store, like petco or petsmart, sells aquarium backgrounds. Some of them have the generic natural landscape, but there is one that is deep blue and the reverse side is black. You could tape it on fairly easily.
