Very nice, any fry for sale?

sftlaquatics - are you still importing Tanganyikans?

Yikes! Maybe 9600 watts is overkill, I'll look at other options.

I am thinking of getting 6 young ones from LFS and raising them up in community 90g, is there any advise you can provide in terms of behavior and compatibility with other African cichlids. No intention to breed but I like to keep one or two pairs as adult display fish. Any advise on sexing without venting them?

I am thinking of turning my over-sized double garage partially into a fish room and still be able to park one car. My plan is to run 4 x 180g and a few 90g. The garaged has a double retracting door and is insulated and heat by tow portable electric heaters 4800w each. My concern is the winter months with the snow and cold temperature that can cause moisture to precipitate in the garage. I am curious how much a problem moisture can present and if running two portable heaters is adequate? Anyone with experience housing multiple large tanks in a garage?

I don't know why I didn't think of that. You guys hit it on the head, there has been no supplemental nutrients added in the last few months and the current lighting situation is probably too much and too long. I will reduce the photoperiod and resume nutrient additives. The shaded leaves covered in algae is still puzzling me. Why is this happen in these areas?

All the Anubius leaves in my tank are rotting, yellowing, and have numerous large/small holes through them. It seem like the newer growth will be lusterous for a few weeks and then slowly algae (not hair algae)would cover them. This has been happening for months. The worst areas are on the oldest and most shaded leaves. My lighting is 2x24W HO T5 on for 7hrs a day on a 25g tank. There is absolutely no algae problem in the tank, just on the leave of these plants. Am I running too much light and this is what's cause the plants to react this way?

Curious if anyone has a spare Eheim 1250 pump impeller they are not using? I need to replace mine and cannot find one locally. Of if you're selling the pump for a good price, let me know. Thanks.

Is there anyone on here who knows how I can contact the webmaster of the Calgary Aquarium Society? I've tried emailing the contact provided on the website but have had no luck. Do we have any CAS executive members on here I can contact?

Can someone tell me how to view messages in the Sent folder. Mine always appears to be empty. Is there something I am overlooking? Thanks.

If you have a bulK supply and can spare 100g or so, please let me know your price. Preferably Sanfranciso or OSI brand.

I love the way it looks NOW! I am not sure if Sil sand is play sand, perhaps sand blasting??? Does anyone know what it's intended purpose is? You definately don't want to put this in your reef. Sand made of Calcium Bicarbonate is what you shoud be looking at to add into your reef. It serves it purpose well in buffering, but I removed my sand bed from my reef after a couple years. I found that it was trapping too much detritus, more harm than good IMO.

Thanks for the info. I got impatient as they were closed for the holidays, so I went with Sil-7 from Greeg Distributing. I didn't like the way Sil-7 looked by itself, so I added a 20lb bag of Eco Complete Cichlid sand. The formula end up being 1 part Eco complete and 2 parts Sil-7. I love the way it looks not. This is Eco complete cichlid sand

The place I was looking at buying is called Gregg Distributing, you can find the address on yellowpages.ca Nyasa, are there samples available at that consolidated compressor? Do you know what the grain sizes are of Sil-9? What color is it? Thanks for the link by the way.

I would go to Sil Industries in Edmonton / they have several varieties of sand .... all the way up to Sil 8 / I paid 8 bucks for 40K of Sil 7 / was cleaner then any of the sand I had previously purchased at Home depot and a little cheaper... How coarse is Sil-7 in terms of millemeter? Is the grain size similar to playsand? I am looking for something more coarse and the place I am getting it from has Sil-4 and Sil-7.
