ebay you can get a coralife turbotwist 3x for 60.00 brand new in the box. replacement bulbs are only about 10.00 each from the same place. it should get rid of your alge. just curious, how old are your lights? (bulbs) thats often the culprit.

one more sleep!

just ran mine through the washing machiene. they were disgustingly filthy but a hot water cycle with bleach, then another with vinigar and, VOILA! as good as new! lots of pins came off but wadya gonna do?

im not sure how to do it as i am computer illeterate. i might be able to do it if someone walks me through the process. or check out the website, monsterfishkeepers.com thier 'smiley faces' and add on pics are hilarious and they cover just about every emotion and expression, their really cool and thats all this great site is missing. keep up the great work! :beer:

any chance for some better expression faces? like the ones on monsterfishkeepers?

if you need tips on photography, ask patrick. just look at the quality of his pics in the freshwater pic section. he is the king!

exactly what i would do. use the smaller rubbermaids and run a powerbar off the converter to run multiple pumps and airstones. thats really not a long time in the bins, especially with an airstone.i would 86 the common readily available fish too, no sense in overstocking the bins. good luck to ya, hope ya have no casualties.

if all else fails, ask patrick. his pics speak for themselves. he is the fish-pic king

awesome, as usual. you should post a 'how to'. you have a real gift for taking GREAT shots, all of us could learn a thing or two from you. GREAT PICS! :beer:

that bonsai tree is the coolest thing ever! does anyone know how to do the waterfall?

all i can say is, WOW! that is pheonominal color. great pic

love the aquascaping. keep up the good work! :beer:

you're hardcore!

those are some of the best fish pics i've EVER seen. great job dude. keep em comming and dont be scared to give advice on fish photography, you are obviously more than qualified, GREAT JOB! :beer:

great pics dude! those are magazine quality. :beer:

its not the camera that takes a great pic, its the photographer. ALLWAYS turn the flash off and play with the settings, especially the shutter-speed setting. some of the best pics i've seen were taken with a 'wallmart special'. also try taking pics at a slight offset, not directly at the glass, this will reduce if not eliminate reflections. hope this helps :beer:

does anyone know for sure how the city water quality is? with the spring run-off and all?

you can find that at almost ANY fish store. i used it before and the color in my fish dissapered. thier is ALOT better quality of food then that stuff

for rocks and slate, ALLWAYS landscaping supply stores. burnco and canar are as good as they get. :beer:
