Most of golds fish are buy one get one free!! Best deal around as always...

just got hosed from big als so called boxing day sale, picked up some food & a couple pleco^s, golden nugget for 32.00 & a royale for 42.00 that was there so called sale prices & went to golds & the exact same food was 3 dollars cheaper & there prices for the plecos was 25.00 & 30.oo & then i read harolds fairdeal prices & i had to shoot myself for getting really hosed. the food i picked up was the omega one super colour pellets, & some frozen bloodworms & frozen shrimp. Ya the Royal plecos have always been $42 each they have been that whey for about a year now. And still not selling! Hmmm wonder why they are rising the prices and the putting them on sale to the regular price LOL.

Yes that is a Ruby Red for sure...

Yes I have had many females with egg spots all the time. As well sometimes especially with OB malawi cichlids the females can even be more colorful then the males....

I would probably go with the snakeheads....Just because the rainbow snakeheads are not something you always come by. Also they have much more character to them and become more of pet. But then again so do Bichers.

LOL But I bet if they were koi in a frozen pond they would not hesitate to make some money and write a ticket!! I hope someone can help you out and the fish are fine....Betta's can usually live a long time in a bag if they are packaged well.

You need to remember that the really cheap ones you can only really get 1 cut out of it as well if your not really good at it that 1 cut you get will most likely shatter! I would recommend going for a good quality one $45 is a pretty good deal.

If you visit Canreef there is a guy that hoked up his entire saltwater setup to a high end touch screen computer and it automatically monitored everything for him. I believe he may have had some setting on it to do some things automatically for him! You should check it out! ww.canreef.com

WOW 19 adult rays!! We would all probably love to see some pics of your setups! Do you have anything posted already?

Looks Great!!

I have kept many different kinds of small plecos with all kinds of African cichlids so you should be fine just be sure the pleco has somewhere to hid and also keep everyone happy and fed and it will be fine. And yes it looks like a clown pleco but a much better colored one then I'v seen in awhile!

I have done the other way many time were I only rplacedthe shaft as itd the first thing that starts to wear down. Usually the $3 fix works fine for me I rarly ever need to replace the impeller. But I guess anyway works as long as you replace something.

There are cheaper HOB filters out there but the thing with them is they only last about a year or less and if something goes wrong with them you cant fix them and something always goes wrong with them. AC's are only about $20 more then the cheaper ones and it is a much better choice. My oldest ones are about 8 years old now! And my grandfather has some of the very first ones that they started making and is still running them!

The shafts are about $3 at big als but the impellers are cheaper at golds so just ask dennis at golds to match the shaft to big als price im sure he will. I have fixed tons of my AC's that way they are the one and only best filter! Once you fix the impler and shaft it will last you anouther 5-8 years!

Great work!! Could I ask you what you used for the inside of the tank to seal the wood and also where you got it??

Can't wait to see more pics looks really awsome!!! Good work! :thumbs:

I was wondering what would be a better choice to go with in my 33 gal salt tank that I will be setting up. I am looking at either going with the koralia powerheads or the new Zoo med sweep powerheads. Also how many of each and what size should i go with? Thanks for the info!!

Just as a note for price wise Big Al's will match any price in town plus beat it by an extra 5%!!!

Big Al's Will be for sure opening tomorrow Aug 7th at 10am!!

Looks great!! I woould love to have one of my own.

Big Al's has been delayed for a bit due to the back up on construction. I did get to get in and take a peek on how everything is coming along and boy let me tell you the wait is sure going to be worth it!!! It is looking AWESOME!!! Way better then the last store up south.

Thanks for the info so far! I was still wondering though if it would be a good idea to put my Distichodus Sexfasciatus?? I would really think this would go well but really don't want to tank the risk if someone knows if this might be a bad idea.

That tank is really looking good! I have always had a thing for small tanks just have never had the chance to put one together myself. Great work!

Thats a really good looking fish!! Looks very happy too.

You bet we would all love to have a 300 gallon aquarium in our home! In order for me to get one I would have to probably sell all 24 tanks I own just to get one!! LOL I would recommend that if you were looking to keeping many rays to just build a really large pond in your home to house them. That is currently in the works for myself. And then I am hoping to house a lease 6 rays. Pond dimensions are going to be 4' X 10' X 30" approximately 550 gallons. :thumbs:
