Hello everyone,
I've got a problem with my rams. I can't seem to keep adults alive past about 8 months to a year.
The symptoms - they go off their food, hang about near the top, look morose & dark for a few days, then die. This happens to individuals rather than to all of them - I've got...
Hello everyone,
I'm going to be purchasing a 125 g tank, probably later this week. I want a planted tank, CO2, etc., which I'm now doing on my 55.
My question is this - I'm looking at using two 2 x 96W power compact fixtures for a total of abt 400 W. Each is 36" long, the tank is 72"...

Good news - I have 1 male w/4 female agassizzis which are just crankin' out the babies! :D They're in a community tank with some rams & neons, so I have to remove them; right now I've got somewhere around 100 in various states of growing out. (hope my LFS won't have any trouble taking so...
Hello everyone...
I'm contemplating building a self-water changing sump in my basement for a spare 55; if it works I'll do the same on my main tank. (Why? My back's getting really tired of hauling 5 gal buckets of RO water... )
My plan is to take a 30 - 55 gal plastic barrel as a filter...
