Si think I made a discovery. I was at aquarium central and I seen a huge oto. Huge twice the size of mine. I heard they only get 2 inch? This was thick and 3 or 4 inchs.

no i can't see vinces

so i had an idea. i have ugly brown algae in the tank i want to seed my 90gwith (20g). i dont want brown algae in my 90g...its ugly. any suggestions?

looks good. no need for 4x4 though not with a 18 g. do more research and find different plans you might find something else. check the AA library.

fair enough

+1

id be interested.

so as soon as you mentioned it i went a googled and found a company i emailed and this was there response "Hi there, you can buy our sand at our Edmonton location which is at 306-116 Ave Edmonton. We are located just south on the Yellowhead trial at 17st NW. We have 50lb bags and the cost is $5.55 per bag. Thanks"...wowsers

Labeotropheus trewavasae (West Thumbi Is.) any idea of price? Pseudotropheus cyaneus (P. "elongatus chinyamwezi") Pseudotropheus demasoni Tropheops "tropheops gold"

i will look into it. thanks!

for a 50lbs bag? if so thats still better then "aquarium" sand at lfs

anhybody know how to buff out scratches in a glass tank?

why fix something thats not broken + you like your setup.

right on i definately will any idea of price. the whole reason im using playsand.

So I recently changed my 20 g to a playsand substrate for my new horseface loach and I love the look of it. I'm setting up a new 90g mbuna cochlid tank and some dark colored sand would look great. Anybody know where you can get colored playsand?

Sponge filters work relativly no different. They draw water threw the sponge picking up debris. The sponge also acts as a surface for all your nitrifying bacteria. The amount of bacteria will depend on how much waste, leftover food there is.

ll definately pick some up

african cichlid of the mbuna type, theyre very colorful.

cardinal tetras are nice as a school. i'd suggest getting something with more pop then a gourami, but its up to what you like. i like the set up too!

i like the set up! it'll look good

ok that was dumb. ya i know about the fishless cycle. just add ammonia and test.

ok well maybe ill try that then instead. So will the bacteria be ok for those 2 days before i add fish? and would it be ok useing feeder fish for those ok to die?

but i'm squeezing a 20 gallon media into a 90 gallon. dont think it will tunr brown or even cloud up. as for substrate i dont think i want to disturbe it as i made a deep sand bed with play sand. i'm going to try the new filter in old tank and increase bioload. ill report back

so i'm setting up a new tank here tomorrow and am wondering if i put the new filter in my old cycled tank how long till the new filter will be fit to be used in the new tank? it should definately be faster then normal month. its a 90 gallon tank and i'm not sure what type of filter just yet. my old tank has a ac hob and bubbled sponge filter.

lmao what do you think hes thinking.
