Sweet i was right for once...i will save this thread in my memoirs
-
Try putting in a new seal...for both the car and for the filter haha
-
i feed my tank of Africans and a small group of fronts a steady diet of 3mm NLS with a 1 day a week fast...and on special days they get an additional treat of either blood worms or some brine shrimp...everyone is heavily coloured...happy and growing steadily
-
try not to deplete all the local fronts as i still want to add a few more in the near future haha i picked up 4 from a local guy a couple months ago and they are some of the most interesting fish i have owned...kind of like a dog...but in water i feed mine 3mil and they are bout 4-4 1/2in but they eat the 1 mil when i trow some in as well. hope you enjoy them

I will usually fill a 25G garbage drum with water and dose it with a splash of Prime, i toss in a fair size powerhead pump to circulate while i drain the tank into 5G pails and haul off to the draining facility (toilet). Once the water has been drained i add a 3/4" hose to the end of the powerhead and fill my tank back up. In a 110G it amounts to about 30% and i do it every 1-2 weeks depending on free time available.

I like the eheims but they dont push water like the Rena's do.

Tank Electricity Costs – Especially Heaters
popik replied to punman's topic in General Aquaria Discussion
i'm running a 110G and a 25G in the same room as my computer right now. The Epcor bill doubled a few months afte the tanks were setup and around the same time i switched all the bulbs in the house to CFL...? The only thing i can think of is adding an undergound 3-6 tech cable to my garage to provide a 60A subpanel...it was installed before the bill went up and i even did some constant welding for a week but what i'm thinking is that the cable being in thefrozen ground is causing an electrical draw somehow. Im going to change it down to two 30A circuts so i can switch one off when not welding (dont need 220V for aything else) and see if that helps...otherwise the tanks may end up with a target on them again! -
Very nice...i was looking at the bunch of them the other day at BA's and was thinking i could go for one. What size tank are you building for him ?
-
When i first got my cannisters i opened every 6 weeks...now i havent looked at them in 3+ months. The FX5 is due i think soon but the eheim will be fine for a couple more!
-
The ones at OxyPro are heavy use welding gas tanks so their prices will be higher...the nice thing about them is your tank will never expire....they are just really pricey. I dont use theirs for plants but they are great for welding
-
Kind of harsh for a guy just looking for some help Boom. I dont know of the effects from constantly overdosing with Prime but if you read the directions a dosing of 5 times the recommended is right there on the label if you run into a spike. I've had others on this site and even from an LFS recomend a heavier dose up to 10 times in an emergency or for a hurt fish even!

I wish i had a Fox to feed my nieghbourhood cats too... sorry they keep digging under my deck and doing their business
-
What is this guy ? I had one last week that got ill and croaked for no apparent reason (no damage) and looking to get another sometime. Ohh and the tank looks incredible
-
I dont know if its because of the lights but i have similar lighting in my 110G with rock and cichlids...tank is very filtered and even run a UV sterilizer but am in what i hope is the middle of a brown alge problem.
