macdre

i had a semi tarded xxl blue lobster used to climb out my tank, always found him fighting my cat.... and he always lived, so i sold his simple self

i just converted my 180 gallon into a sw tank, just a fowlr tank for now but the live rock waas a brutal kick in the junk but once your past swallowing your own vomit at the cost its really not that bad maybe keep the 300 as fresh for now and start up a 90 or 2 and then switch over, i have always been like salt water is bs and its too expensive blah blah , its the same as fresh you learn it and its second nature, think about all the crazy stuff you learned during ypour 15 year stint in fresh same crap,,, just like fresh dont believe all that stuff online, find a good local who isnt going to benefit from your set up and listen, im certain im gonna f up my 180 but sometimes you gotta buck and and grab ahold of them to make sure you still have them and go donkey, i finally caved because i was running out of freshwater killers and exotics that had not passed through my home and damn it i want some nemo fish, lol good luck in whateveer you do but if you do it think how sick that would be... im not after shark.... i want me a big mean nasty octopus haha never had a fish like that.

wtf is the red devil??? and if its that serious that you cant find the meds just scrap it and start over on this site you should be able to source all kinds of fish , with otu this SICKNESS they have lol

build a hood, or canopy and go to your local hardware home depot like store and get some UNDER COUNTER halogen lights , the benefit of halogens is you can acctually pic your kalvins so you could buy 6 lights and run 2 of 10000k and 2 20000k and whatever else your after and then you will have full spectrum super stupid bright and it wont cost you 10000 for some t5 set up whose bulbs need to be replaced eveery 6 months the only downfall is halogens get HOT as poop my 2 cents or if you wanna do the damn thing you could order a few HID HEADLIGHT KITS off e gay and get your wire on , im just saying Do you plan to go high tech or low tech? for 6 feet the best option to go is 36"x2 imho, better bulb choices, easier to sell. for 5 feet..hmm....24" + 36" ?

What it does cuz, I used to live on vancouver island..... alberta sucks but thankfully alberta aquatica has made it more liveable lol thnks for stopping through

does anyone know what l number the rio de para pleco is , harold told me twice now so i feel stupid asking him again lol, jorg , pistol pete, dan g any thoughts?? No L-052's are a Dekeyseria species the puesdo tigers are a type of Peckoltia I think.

[feed them night crawlers or dew worms whole, also hunks of real meat seem to dramatically explode there growth, my sengalus was "maxed" at 6 inches , then he got thrown in with the big boys , and his ddiet changed dramatically and he began explode in size, unfortunately shortly after i was so excited he was begining to explode he was then EATEN lol there are also draw backs to living with the big boys quote name=Bang74' timestamp='1313189531' post='2245710] Mine seems to have topped out at 6 - 7 "

good tips thanx

beautiful as always , nice shooting too whom ever is operating tha camera

i should also ad that they have laid eggs all over the damn magnet and around it so i dont know how to remove it without squashing a big batch of eggs there is no easy/damage free way what if i put the guppy thing over the magnet like a prison for the eggs, either the mom or dad will be pissed im sure we'll have to see , i may have to diy a loose fitting net ovewr it or something,

[the whole thing is just totally unexpected, there is no conditioning no planning just chucked them in the tank with the others and after i put them in i chuckled and said to myself now dont be stupid and you'll survive, SURVIVE lol they seem to be thriving i guess the constant threat of being eaten or disfigured lol gets angels in the mood, im gonna try and save the fry/eggs but i think im gonna leave them for a few days here the parents acctually seem to be doing a good job of keeping everyone out of the top right corner of my tank, there is a 3rd angel in there who has been taking a beating from the other 2 for a couple days should i remove it from the equation? i hope i get fry too i think it would be cool to accidentally be breeding angels these are very pretty marble angels witrh orange head so i have no idea what the breed is but there very pretty the tank water temp is 82 degreez, and my big gravity feed biofilter makes it sound like its raining indoors lol so maybe that has something to do with it i dunno i have no tanks running that arent filled with catfish or micro killers so the best i can do is a guppy breeding net thing so we'll have a go at it and see,

so a few weeks ago i brought home these black marble angelfish that i purchased at a tank close out they were almost fullgrown, beautiful shape, all fins and bodies immaculate , i HAD no interest in them at all but they were far to pretty to leave behind, so i chucked them in my 180 semi predatorial tank and posted them for sale, lots had expressed interest but the fact that im in red deer seems to throw a monkey in the works almost everytime, all day today while im laying on my couch sick as a dog i see 2 of the 3 doing what i can only describe as something weird in the corner of my tank next to my big mag glass cleaner, so long story short they seem to have spawned all over the damn glass cleaner so what do i do, i mean these guys are beautiful so knowing that i cant just scrap the eggs because #1 breeding stuff is cool, and #2 accidentally breeding stuff is even cooler here inlies my issue they live with 2 16 inch plus bichirs a 16 inch black ghost knife, 1 royal pleco, i bn pleco, 1 12 inch suncatfish <who is a major ahole>and a few other misc beasties, why they would choose to spawn in there i have no idea but seems to me like one of the worst tanks to try and raise babies in, so what do i do>? do i try and remove the mag with the eggs all over it and stick it in another tank?or leave it until the fry are hatched? or is this just a good way to feed the beasts i mean i dont want the whole works to get eaten but im unsure of what would be the best course of action, my dad suggested just leave them he said angels are tough but i mean they are by far the smallest fish in there, certainly no where near the meanest and frankly what is a honda civic gonna do to a semi truck lol all im saying , so advice input comments please let me know thanks Dreezy and yes realize putting them in there not the best idea however they have had no issues with anything in there and are all in 100% health so i figured if it aint broke....

[thats awesome, unfortunately im dead locked in red deer i'll have to check it out quote name=PistolPete' timestamp='1314134808' post='2246157] Macdre you need to join one of the two aquarium clubs. Heck join em both., They each have two auctions a year I believe.(cgy and edm) Ive been to a handful of the edmonton ones. They are hit or miss when it comes to finding certain fish. But they are always fun. Plus Harold is usually there so I grab some fish off him too. BTW u dont need to be a member of either club to attend and bid on fish. Ity is also easy to auction your own fish, I think u need to be a member for that though! Lots of members from both cities here that could fill u in.

[auction, what auction, for fish??, quote name=fairdeal' timestamp='1314129023' post='2246153] Anybody have any idea on approximately when the fall auction might take place? Calgary's is Oct.2 - assume a few weeks after that?

thankss for the tips, sorry if it is a stupid question but i cant keep up, stuff is advancing faster than i can intake, still trying to figure out why twitter is cool, who cares when someone brushed there teeth or had a hot dog for lunch,who has time for that ish
