  1. Any word on when the next auction is?
  2. Welcome to the Community! Make sure to post pictures of your tanks in the picture thread. http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=6085&hl=
  3. lol tigs, around here the water tends to be very hard. but I guess i will have to a GH test on it when I get there. All that being said, I love my tank too much to get rid of it, I think a blue water bottle now and again from the store would be worth it.
  4. Hey guys, so my family has been waiting for the opportunity to move out into the country for quite some time and its finally here. However, I have no desire to haul water in for my tank. I have pretty a low maintenance tank as it is any how, so my water needs wouldn't be super high, but the likelihood would be that top ups and minor water changes would be done with well water. I have no idea what the water is like out there, thou its a sure bet its hard water, and the area has high iron in the water. Is this something that I should be overly concerned with? I don't want to just try it out and see because I really like the population I have in my tank at the moment. Anyone doing this?
  5. im sure that a small w/c could lower the water a couple of degrees and then over night the water temp will slowly fall again. Id just add a small amount of regular tank temp water. If you are really worried, just do one then another small one in a few hours. But I think you will be ok.
  6. I think it looks sweet. looking forward to seeing pictures of it running
  7. P.s. camera was low on batt, hence the poor grain pics. Will try to replace later when camera is charged
  8. just an image update on my walstad tank now nearing 120 days old (tomorrow) Looks a lot different from the beginning. Now stocked with 4 rainbows (preacox) and 1 Albino Cory and a bunch of Mts and another variety of pond snail, not RHS. Another Walstad Method tank that I havent been high lighting. Im not too sure when I started this one. I took the tiger lotus from my original walstad and moved it in there, along with some pcs and most of the anubius from the original tank. Otherwise this is a community tank. Rummy nose tetras, serpea tetras, albino corys, sterbai corys, albino sailfin pleco, undescibed mollies (from auction, anoyone else get these? Mine are getting a neat blue colour to them). Theres likely some thing Im missing, but you get the idea. Mish Mash, yup youve got the picture
  9. This one likes to hang out alone at the moment, hard to get a pic of all of them together. I suspect this is maybe a male? I also am realizing that I may need a floating plant for them to hang out below. Anyone have any recommendations for a floating plant that will not over take my tank? My thoery of the solo fishy being male is not the case. The source of them tells me that he missed the male when he was bagging them up. Oh well, will have to get one later and breed the dickens out of them :P
  10. Got a sweet donation for my Walstad yesterday. 4 Preacox. They take my tank and make it super sexy! Took out all but my albino cory and put them in my community tank. This will be a rainbow tank now
