    Built a fish tank stand for 40g Long Aquarium

    Me too! I couldn't have done it without my dad. I brought him the design and we got the supplies and he kind of guided me but let me do most of the work. I'm really proud of it. :) It should hold, the support of the structure is 10 2x4's. I could probably double stack 2 55's on top of it. :)

    Hello from a new guy!

    Welcome to the forum! I'm in Northern Indiana, and come spring I might have some P. Taeniatus fry to trade for some N. Parilus fry. :) Glad to see you joined up.

    Have you seen his recent "Just In!" stock list? If my wife would let me I'd spend about $1000.00 on fish from his list alone. :)

    Here's how it turned out, not staining it until the spring.

    Sand substrate

    Yeah they've settled in really well. I've actually added more wood and plants to it I need to update the photo. The male has been excavating sand out from under everything constantly. He buried like four of the swordplant leaves in sand, I have to keep cleaning them off so they don't die. :)

    Packers

    Oh yeah. I live in Northeast Indiana, so we have lots of Bears fans around here too. Going to be good. Can't wait for the Pack to pummel them.

    Well, I've developed a strain of airborne guppies that take care of that for me. I usually have about 50 or 60 flying around me at all times during mosquito season. They do the job.

    Shovel what? Winter is only like 3 weeks there. Oh wait, that's Summer, nevermind.

    Floramax and Sand

    Setting up a 40 Gallon Long next week, going to be fairly heavily planted with low light plants. I have a 5 gallon bucket full of floramax, and I was thinking of mixing it with sand. Should I mix or just use one or the other? If I only do one I'll probably just go sand. Any thoughts?

    WTB: Book, Cichlid Fishes of Western Africa

    Thanks for the info I was able to contact him. He's got them for $60.00 shipped. Good deal, and he's in the same state as me so when I order I'll get it much faster than ordering it from the UK. Thanks again!

    Welcome here. I should have told you about this place before, never even crossed my mind. Glad to see you found it too though. Lots of great information here.

    Sand substrate

    Playsand from Lowes. Turned out decent and wasn't as hard to clean as I thought it was going to be.

    Well, I can't give you any apisto advice, but welcome to the forum!
