Welcome to the forum! That is one awesome gift and I think we love elaborate plans and look forward to seeing what you are up to!

Welcome to the forum! I used to make a mess of my tanks every week rearranging things in it! lol

Darn I missed this again.

Welcome to the forum! +1 for pics!

+1 for plant guy... got mine in the middle of december and have had no issues. also have bought some from angelfins.

hmm.. .gonna have to keep an eye out on mine then. Have you had any issues with it being tough to take the connector unit out of the locked position?

nice relaxing vid!

Welcome back to the hobby! Gonna post any progress pics?

Welcome! Use that phone of yours and take some pics!

Welcome to the forum! Lots of great stand builds in here.

Welcome back to the hobby! An algae eating crew might help in your planted tank. A mix of ottos, pleco and nerite snails depending on what you have in there already.

Welcome to the forum!

or maybe 2 small ones on the right? Looks pretty good though. Whats the little gizmo attached to your blue airline up top? that a co2 diffuser?

Welcome to the forum!

what eheim model is it?

+1 to nice looking shrimps I have breeding shrimp envy as mine arent doing much of anything.

That is neat! My corys have been going crazy lately placing eggs all over the tank... I dont think any will hatch or survive in the tank though... too many hungry tetra mouths around. Lots of hiding spots though....

Hey Claudiohv ACE auction haul isn't referring to a store. ACE is the Aquarium Club of Edmonton. They recently had an auction. people are posting what they made off with (their haul) from the auction. Hope that clarifies things a little for you.

Welcome to the forum and hope your wait ends soon.

Welcome to the forum!

welcome to the forum. pics of fish or pooches welcome!

mighty fine lookin fella! makes me wanna go find one now

AngelFins also carries some ADA stuff if you dont find it locally but might be special order etc.

Thanks for the compliment! Its actually a pretty haphazard planting style... LOL. I have pretty much run out of real estate in that tank to put anything else but I usually find a way to shoe horn something new in there.

The reality is that money is the big factor. Dont imagine it is practical for a fish shop to have the room or $ for a second set of tanks strictly for QT, to have spent the extra $ on a set of tanks that are not tied into centralized filtration systems or that it spends the $ on meds at the proper dosages for the volumes of water at the shop to treat all new fish in a shipment. Even if they did treat a shipment, how are they to guarantee that they have completely wiped the illness or parasite out? I am sure many have seen instances where fish look great but as soon as they are stressed from being put into a bag and sloshed around, ich or whatever pops up. Yes they could tell everyone that they have sick fish but that is essentially putting the stigma upon themselves and announcing "Our fish are always sick". Would you return to the store if they were constantly saying that their fish have this or that illness? It is unfortunate that they probably wont tell you that fish are sick in their store but I can see that being said at any time they get a new shipment in. And with the frequency of new shipments coming in, how would they maintain a 3-4 week QT from shipment to shipment? As with anything people tend to pass problems off to someone else so that they dont have to deal with it and its easier. A store guarantee is perfect example of this. Its essentially saying beyond 48 or 72 hours, the problem is yours not ours. The customer is at the end of the chain and unfortunately suffers all the risk but the vast majority of those customers probably think of fish as cheap disposable pets. That being said, the serious nature of callamanus worms should probably warrant a warning to customers that are expressing interest at purchasing so they can make an informed choice.
