A tank that size doesn't go down the stairs. You would be better off hiring someone like maybe aquarium illusions to disassemble it and rebuild it. Might be cheaper in the long run. Plus you won't kill anyone haha.

getting out of salt and want to get rid of my stuff. I have a refractometer, almost full pail of instant ocean, 9 hermit crabs and a bunch of water testing and treating stuff. looking for 60 bucks for it all. 780 920 2282. Would also consider trades on fresh water fish so dont be shy about offering what you have!!!

i would come and get 4 of my mpimbwe and add some leupi and dafodils to make a tanginikan aquarium. 15 bucks each and i will text you pics if you like of all those fish. 780 920 2282.

youtube it but you actually need to remove the air as the fish prob. has what is called bloat. Are you pre soaking your food? if not this might be causing it!

If your water company uses chloramine they will typically be treating at near the same strength as the rest of the year. In Edmonton & Red Deer that would be 2 mg/l, (2ppm). While the water takes on a slightly offensive odor this time of year it is due to the chemical reaction with organics, not just because of an increase in disinfectant. One can use a bit extra Prime/Safe to treat any additional chlorine residuals during spring run off, but there's really no need to double dose.
From the RDC Q&A ..........
Chlorine is used as a disinfectant in the water treatment process year round. Because of the high levels of organic present during the runoff, the amount of chlorine in the springtime is greater than that used at other times of the year. This additional chlorine is used up by the organic in the raw water. The amount of chlorine in the tap water is the same year round. The tap water may have a slight chlorine smell in spring conditions, due to organic, which have combined chemically with chlorine.
fair enough but double stocking is expensive and prime aint that bad!!!

i just did a 30% on my 300 gal and yeah i double dosed as the water smelled on Chlorine!!!!!
happy to say next day all fronts happy!
-
looks awesome!!
-
agreed or your bio is ppacked to tight causing no flow
-
your forgot if you do a water change on a 300 gallon and forget about the hose it will not shut itself off once full!
Haha great list....i thought i was the only one.
-
just get a powerhead suitable for the tank and run it a the back of the tank about two inches below the surface angled up slightly to create a ripple on the surface. Problem solved!

i try to practice breeding humans every now and then. yeah yeah sorry. 20 Mpimbwe fronts in a 300 gallon that will start eventuall im Sure.
-
makes me wonder if my 300 gallon Mpimbwe tank would even be big enough?
-
Depending on the Brichardi and how many you have it could be aggression among males as they will breed on the tank pretty easy. do you see them pairing up at all or do you have one that seems more aggressive than the others?
Maybe your mangano got too close?
-
try putting your light on a timer as well to reduce.
-
yes i will post asap. It will take some time to get all set up etc. but i will for sureVery nice. So now you'll be rehoming everything back into the 90? Gonna take pics? You know how we all love pics.

This actually worked. thanks again!have you tried this? http://albertaaquati...showtopic=11713
I did it the other day and it worked out great!
-
looks pretty nice pal!
-
well i cleaned taped and siliconed my 90 gallon testerday. here's hoping it worked. On a side note when filling a 300 gallon after a water change dont forget to pay attention to it as the hose will not shut itself off and water will actually pour over the top of the tank and all over the floor......messy!
-
As the title states. i am looking for a 90 gal or bigger tank to replace the leaking one i have already. I got this tank and set it up in my 40 gallon with limited equipment and the fish and corals are doing fine but would like to get them set up properly. If someone has a tank for sale or trade i have numerous fish. Niger trigger, Coral Beauty, yellow tang, clown etc.
Also is someone is willing to spend some time helping me set it up and educating me more on this would be appreciated.
thanks,

thanks a lot for the info.

I have some very nice mpimbwe fronts 3 to 5 inch long. They are in a 300 gallon but 3 or 4 would be ok in my opinion. Let me know as I currently have 17.
