Don't forget Petsmarts 50% off on Fluval canisters and they were handing out $10.00 gift cards so $52.99 all in for a 106.

For you online shoppers check out J&L Aquatics some good prices happening today only.

Another option for filtration would be two smaller canisters.In my 75g I use two Eheim Classic 2217's .One discharges at the surface,the other is discharging through a DIY set up just above the substrate also have Hydor ETH hooked to this one so warm water is blown across the substrate.Even with two large pcs. of wood and lots of plants I still have good flow with very few dead spots.With two canisters running it also gives me options for media set up & maintenance.

The bigger the tank the easier it is, more room to maneuver when masking and using silicon tube gun.Lots of ventilation or you will get a buzz and not the good kind. LOL

+1 on the distorted parrot fish & those horrible mutations ( balloon ) mollies,rainbows,rams & what ever else that has been butchered by the trade to look this way.

Guys

What can I say but WOW beautiful bows and the Psuedomugil " mellis " are incredible.

Dear Santa

Please deliver us back to +30 instead of -30.

Did they go after any of your fish? This tank has a lot of nano fish especially my habrosus/hastatus/Pygmaseous corys and the sparkling gouramis.

I never saw any predation in my tank, at that time it was full of assorted live bearer fry & juvie tetras.

Yep had them myself but the Amano shrimp & Bristle Nose got most of them did have few make it to adult form, found a couple adults flying around the house one cold February night.

You could probably just keep a eye on things chances are not too many will hatch much easier that tearing up the plants and trying to hunt them down.

Jayba RD keep it coming always a interesting read. :thumbs:

Sorry to here about your leak problem especially on a Sunday worst time.Your leak is probably coming from the o-ring seal on the priming pump it is a common problem.If you put in Eheim Pro 3 leaking into search it will show past posts on here for the same problem,Eheim customer support will send replacement parts to correct the problem.

Wouldn't worry about nitrates but keep a eye on the ammonia & nitrites.Prime and water changes will be your best friend right now.

Sorry for your loss not familiar with SC Safe, but dealing with BBA using SC Excel I only follow directions on the bottle 5ml per 10 gallons after a > 40% WC + 5ml per 50 gallon per day after has always been enough to do in the BBA & hair algae in my 75 gallon.Was also very successful following the above in dealing with a crazy BBA out break in a 20 gallon Multi tank it was growing on everything turned pink with in 24 hrs. began to fall apart shortly after.Double dosing was not necessary in my case.

Hmm maybe he deserves a name may I suggest Lazarus

Good luck with your auction if its anything like the CAS auction & the popularity of planted tanks there will be LOTS of good deals on plants.Good time for all to be had.

Ok plant gurus do all all Aponogeton ulvaceus have a dormant phase?I have had one in my 75g for almost a year now great plant has flowered for me several times, throws out tons of leaves very quickly then slows down to where there might be half a dozen smaller leaves then takes off again throwing out lots of large leaves and flowers.Not that I mind just curious on its strange growth spurts with no dormant phase. It does get root tabs every three months and is under T5HO 6700k 2 x 54W.

hope they are what your looking for never used them myself.Still the alkaline water aquarium kind for now maybe some day.

Huh. interesting. I'm going to have to do some research and keep my eyes open while out and about. I don't suppose Prince's Island Park has any eh? That would be too convenient.

I'm sure you could probably find some in Prince's Island Park, I have seen them in Fish Creek Park just can't remember where. I will try to be more observant when walking the mutt and report back.

Fish Creek Park at Bow Valley Ranch follow paved path south across field to the creek clumps growing along paved path paralleling the creek,most clumps were within 30 feet of the creek.

Thankfully this is showing up in QT where treatment is still a pain in the a$$ but better than in your main tank where even more variables come into play.I have had good luck with Paraguard it is very gentle on most critters, but my first line on defense is always a partial water change.

ragged fins are a dead give away, when I have run into it I never had white blemishes maybe others have had different? So many variables from tank to tank that's why this hobby is so challenging always a surprise waiting around the corner.

hmm looks like fin rot angels look nice and healthy so you can probably clear up with some water changes 1st, then move to more aggressive treatments. ( bacterial infection)

Wow picked up a trio of Faowi Village bows from the CAS auction last week, today was the first time I have had the chance to see them in their full glory. :thumbs:

They are settled in and this morning before the lights came on with just natural light in the room they were playing in the weeds male is incredible females too. All week I didn't see them until 5:00pm, colors seem to washout during photo period.Is this normal?and will it change with time? I have read that their colors will change with lighting,mood,spawning etc.The tank does require a good trimming Java moss has grown to the size of a volley ball totally covering a pcs. of driftwood but that seems to be the place to be for the bows haven't noticed any eggs yet but I'm not prepared to deal with them any ways( fish room requires some attention)but very soon I promise.LOL

We have alders in calgary and/or edmonton?

Yep sure do had two growing along the property line until my neighbor ( a card carrying tree hater) took a chainsaw to them.They are more like a small tree or bush and are native to Alberta.

Best places to try are provincial parks close to bodies of water,while some parks will use pesticides they are very cautious around water.
