Does anyone know where you can find acrylic sheets in Calgary ... other than the Home Depot's, Rona's, etc? I had a piece custom cut a couple years back but for the life of me I can't remember who they were or what their address is. They were somewhere in the industrial area between McKnight and 32nd (I get turned around in there all the time). I'm looking for a 2' x 3' piece, about 0.500 cm thick. Cheers

I think I figured out your riddle ... What is a snake (or some guinea pig eating reptile)? Yes, no? Cheers

NO they're not legal! Well at least they're not according to the police and the judge ... whatever ... I agree with you how are you suppose to know???! ... man this electronic ankle bracelet is itchy. :w00t:

Nice collection. Hope you like the forum. Cheers

I read through your past posts and based on what was in there I believe your past fish seemed to develop fin root, with a subsequent infection of fish fungus (maybe even cotton-wool disease). This could be the fate of your newest fish. IMO these fish are getting these diseases because of poor water quality. I know you’re doing daily 30% water changes, but these numerous water changes could be a contributing factor to your situation. I don’t believe that a healthy biological system is able to establish in your tank and the constant water changes can be a source of stress to any fish (even bettas). If it were me, I’d invest in a small Aqua-Clear (or similar) filter. The added water movement will reduce slime at the surface (which you mentioned was a problem before), it’ll establish a beneficial bacteriological culture, in addition to providing mechanical filtration. Another benefit is that it would reduce the number of water changes (small water change once per week, maybe even once biweekly). I haven’t had a betta in a while, but I had one in a 5 g with a mini Aqua-Clear and she (not he) lived for two years (a year in Canmore and a year in Airdrie). In the mean time I’d monitor the fishes condition and if it worsens treat appropriately (e.g., for potential fin rot). I hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers

Nice. Cheers

Hey what happened to Tanguay? Taking photos of aquarium fish is like a hobby within a hobby. Cheers

I'd say it's fine "As Is" :w00t: Cheers

Thanks for sharing pics of the jurupari's, they look very nice (so does the redhump). I really enjoy watching my juru (they're one of my all time favourites). The poor acara! Did he really take a hit from a piranha? That's crazy! He looks like he's healed fine ... tough little bugger. Cheers

Fill the canister with water, slowly pump the blue "key" until you see water flowing out of the intake. Once you see this flow, keep pumping (slowly), then plug it in. I've never had a problem with my Fluval 204 (knock on wood), maybe it's the 404's????? Good luck. Cheers

Beautiful setup. Any chance of posting a few pics of the other inhabitants (esp. the juru's)? Cheers

Just wondering what type of paint people use to paint the outside of their tanks (e.g., as a background option)? Cheers

I was looking into DSLR's around Christmas time, but decided to stick with my digital point and shoot for a little while longer. After extensive research during that time I recommend (if you want to spend a little more) you go for the Nikon D80. I'm a Canon fan and own a Rebel (film camera), but I don't feel comfortable about spending the money for the DSLR version. Sony has just started into the DSLR world, but from the reviews I've read it appears that their lens are pretty good. Anyway, after researching, looking at and holding many DSLR's (feeling comfortable with your camera is a big factor, IMO) ... I think Nikon is the way to go. However if you're set on either of the other two ... go Canon (reliable cameras and the EOS system provides a lot of lens options. Cheers
