  1. What to do with a 20 gal... hmmm

  2. Working on a new tank set up =D

  3. I believe you have to PM Tanker. But I might be wrong... it was so long ago that I got mine.
  4. You could add 3 white cloud fish and make a small planted unheated tank.

    14 Gallon Seamless Tank

    I'm thinking of moving this tank from my bedroom to the main floor of my house. There is a spot that has very little light right by my front door that I think would be perfect. Only problem is there is no plug in. I could get away with taking a power cord and doing that since it is now a coldwater tank. I only need to plug in a light and a HOB filter. I think when I do this I might temp house my clouds and redo the tank. I have a small tote bin that I could use to house them for a few days. I'm thinking of changing out the gravel I have in there and putting some pebbles in there. maybe a small layer of sand then pebbles and make it more natural. I was thinking as well what plants I should put in there. I heard Vals can stand up to cool temps, my java fern is going nuts! So I think I'll keep that and have it grow all over my drift wood. Also I wanted to add.... Kayen posted on Jan 13th 2009 that a friend had gotten the same light as me and it died in a week. WELL I am still using the same light! Even the same bulb! I have it on for 8 house everyday, some times more when I got to bed and feel like watching the fish for a while.
  6. I found out that my land lord doesn't allow big tanks (nothing over 30 gallons). This was after I saved them from someone who had them in a 5 gallon tank. We plan on buying a house in a few years. So once we do I'll be getting my dads 150Gallon tank. but until then I am not allowed. And no it didn't come off harsh, I know they need a bigger tank thats why I do HUGE (like 50 to 75 % water changes weekly).
  7. Yah they still are. Breathing is still normal. Its weird. they swim around then take a break then swim around and then take a break. They aren't old. Maybe 3 years... I got them almost 2 years ago so Its just a guess but they where young feeders when I got them and they are now 4 to 5 inches long (lots of growth since they where only 1 inch when I got them.)
  8. I had a problem with this stuff. I found that if you don't get all of it, it will keep coming back. Good luck!
  9. Nope everything is fine thats why I'm so puzzled. I have 3 commons in my 20g.
  10. I noticed today that my comman goldfish are acting lazy. their breathing is fine, they swim and eat well. Its weird, they swim around then I'll look over at them again and one will be laying at the bottom. It started with one now 3 are doing it. They are breathing normal, water is normal, temp is about 68F. They haven't lost any coloring at all. They look like they are being well lazy, taking a nap and then swimming again, take a nap and swim and so on. Am I being a worry wart? or is there maybe something wrong?
  11. Thanks Bosshog, I took a look... gave me some GREAT ideas..
  12. Thanks bosshog, could I get away with 1 hermit crab? I'm still looking up on the whole molly thing, but so far as long as I introduce them slowly they will be ok. So far it looks like I'll be stocking 2 or 3 Lysmata amboinensis Pair of mollies Maybe one hermit crab I might test the mollies out in a 2.5 gallon test tank. That way I wont go threw to much money and see if I can handle it.
  13. Here is what I am thinking for stocking it I was thinking two or three Lysmata amboinensis. Opinions? What about mollies are my cycle fish? I've read that they can be used but how well do they like it?
  14. Okay I'm due July 10, and I want to take one of my unused 10 gallon tanks and make a nano salt water tank for the babys room. I don't plan on having any fish, but any fish suggestion are welcome. I plan on getting some live rock and sand. some colorul coral suggestions are welcome. I was thinking of just having some shrimp and snails in the tank. But now going to the hard stuff... What will I need for my set up. Filter suggestions powerhead will I need a protien skimmer for a nano? Lighting suggestions. I think thats it for those right? or am I missing something. I will be building a stand for it so my older kids can't reach into it. Well I'm off to do more reading. Thanks for the help
