  1. What kind of thermometer s the nano brand? I've seen the fluval nano in stores, but it was tiny leters and only in F.
  2. Sorry to hear that, I was only there once and it was a quick trip. Its too bad they had to close up shop.
  3. Does anyone know what happened to Imperial Aquarium, it used to be on 36th street just North of Marlborough Mall. Has it moved, closed down or maybe its still there but everything else has changed and I can't find it anymore? Here is an old (2008) Calgaryplus page: http://www.calgaryplus.ca/calgary/venues/imperial-aquarium
  4. I do changes every 2 weeks on established tanks, and I used to use Aquaplus dechlorinator but this forum was constantly giving Prime rave reviews. I haven't looked back after switching.

    Hello

    Hello barcode, what kind of tank(s) are you running now?
  6. Do you have a high room temperature in your place or are they doing fine with average?
  7. Amazing tanks. Stunning set up interiors. What surprises me is how low your getting the PH on our city water for some of your tanks.
  8. "This is designed the same way as you floor at home (only much closer together)" This made me smile. I love how ever engineered and extra careful fish keepers are with DIY projects. Our fish friends are too important for failure.
  9. I have had nothing but positive experiences from kijiji sellers, I'm sorry to hear about this guy and what more that he was also selling dyed/hormone treated fish.
  10. It sounds like there is some bullying or other stress happening in the tank, as Bandi pointed out its not related to spawning. If all three are still schooling in the cave then its likely another incompatible fish, water quality, or possibly the tank environment like lights constantly on or the dog harassing the tank. a list of the habitants and water quality stats would be helpful in pin pointing any issues.
  11. Hatchlings are very sensitive to water conditions (daily 10% WC recommended) and food availability (has to be something fry can eat and fresh). It can be difficult but dont be discouraged to try again.

    Hello

    Welcome to the site and the city. What kind of a canopy project, a DIY? Wood, plastic or aluminium?
  13. Hey guys, I found this youtube of Norman giving his seminar from earlier this year! Everyone unable to attend can catch here:
  14. You could probably give it away to someone starting a tank, save it to sprinkle the ice on your walk in the cold months ahead, or if your a gardener you can save it to mix into soil for the dryer plants. If its fine grain marine sand I'd gladly even take that off your hands.
