I have a a portable air conditioner/dehumidifier. Just wondering about the water it collects. I have to assume that's pure water, equivalent to reverse osmosis. Anybody know if it is, and if it's usable in aquariums? I can actually get a few gallons a week. Great for dwarf cichlid breeding if its safe.

I'm selling off most of my fish room, and I'm trying to get an idea about how much I should be charging.. I've gone back through the classifieds but didn;t find many matches.. I have a bunch of tanks.. 10 gallon and up.. Is a buck a gallon about right.. no matter which size? And HOB filters.. All four sizes of Aquaclear.. Some of them pretty old.. Thanks!!

The combtail looks pretty close. I agree with the gourami guesses. How big is it?

I was really hesitant to be the 808, but when they went on sale to $99, I figured it was worth it. It's only been about four months but so far so good!

Thanks for the added option!

We are looking at using cinder blocks with that marine grade plywood, or laquered 2x4s. Does that sound ok?

Don't spend the extra money on the fancy plywood or lacquered 2x4's. Any 1\2' plywood, of fence boards, twoxfours etc, will work fine with cinderblocks. Support the span every four feet and you'll be fine.

Apistogramma mcmasteri(sp)?

Lot's of really good advice here. Whatever works! Discus are not all the same,especially when you talk of wild ones. Quite often domestic strains are far removed from the conditions the species lives in in the wild. And to echo an above post, unless you're breeding water hardness and to lesser extent ph mean very little. In fact juveniles grow much faster and bigger in hard water. If your fish are doing o.k growing and feeding, keep at it. Warm clean water is the only requirement needed by al discus.

That's my humble opinion!

Geophagus iporangesis?

Tough to tell with the pic. But I think it's a salvini.

Found the link.

I second the J&L and King Ed votes. I did a full day tour of the city's stores a year ago. There is a great article on the web, a Vancouver hobbyist lists every store in the region, and even gives a brief description, and a map. I can't remember the link, but I think it's bookmarked on my home computer. I'll check after work (Google will likely do the trick tho, it may be linked to a Vancouver aquarium club website.)

I agree with the plywood solution. But I have used another method. If the stand is wood, screw a 2X4 to both sides, flush with the top of the stand. That'll add three inches. Theoretically you could screw in more lumber if you need more space.

It's actually a "Jagwar" ! And I don't know if it can even turn around in that tank!

Get a pair of salvini a.k.a. the yellow menace. They're beautiful and have attitude to spare.

I'm not sure if it's Can-Ar or Burnco but there's a landscaping place on seventy fifth street, Across the street from the auction place. I picked up some nice natural stuff. I think a fifty pound bag was six bucks.

Exceptional!!

Yes! I meant the Sealfe Caverns. The sub was docked a while ago, but when it ran it went by the rd/midas tank and I think they had even more fish then.

I'm sure you Midas nuts know this.. but if not. The submarine ride/underwater adventure thing at The Mall has a tank with dozens.

I can't remember the brand but there is a sponge filter that consists of an "L" shaped tube. A round ribbed sponge is then put on the bottom of the L. They're black, so they don't stand out. They're round, and they already have an opening to accept the intake on your filter.

What's with the "false" Green Terror? I've never heard that before. As far as I know green terrors come in red saum white saum and gold saum.

Come one come all.. But only ACE members can sell items.

It probably goes without saying the bigger the tank the better. But if that's something that can't be done right now, you can compensate with large scale frequent water changes. (Even fifty percent per day.)

More importantly, how can I convince you to sell some of these? I've always wanted the infamous Black Nasty!"

Where in the Edmonton area do you love?

I was in the store a couple of weeks ago. I was impressed with the set-up, lots of huge tanks for corals etc. It is strictly salwater. No freshwater fish at all. When I was there they had just opened and didn't have a lot of stock,

I have an XP-3 that works great, as for a couple years.

As for the pipes or hose I have found Princess Auto" to be a pretty good place. Clear plasctic in a million different sizes. Sold by the foot.

I've been keeping and breeding fish for years, mostly south and central american cichlids. But at the last auction I picked up some Frontosa. So I'm planning to put them into a seventy five gallon tank with rockwork, but I was wondering about tankmates. I like a lot of the peacocks. Any other suggestions?
