  1. I have always liked the neon tetras when you get lots of them together in a tank. Pretty awesome sight right now, even better when the school up and swim.
  2. gBOYsc2, I have neon tetra's and glow light's in the tank right now. Haven't really decided on what else to add in there yet. About 25 of them total. Have few plants in there right now (Anubis) Been looking at the Eheim pro 3 filter line, if and when I do add more fish to the tank.
  3. I was wonder for those who use a canister filter. how do you have your sprayer bar set? Right now mine is facing up towards the surface of the water for some surface agitation. Should you have some agitation at the surface, or does it matter. I also think I have low water flow in the tank. Should I consider picking up a power head, second canister filter or air pump? Tank is a 90gal reg with xp3 with light fish stocking Thanks
  4. So ya. I have fish food that has been sitting around for a while and has not been used in a long long time. I was wondering, Is fish food still good after its aged a few years? or still good like the day i bought it. some has not even been opened. lol
  5. For those who have sand in their tanks. And when you do your weekly water changes and what not. Do you suck up any sand and you clean the bottom with your suction hose. Or is the sand heavy enough to fall back down? I am not sure what I would like to use. I like the look of sand. But dont want to suck it up. thanks
  6. wow, thats really good . and all the parts and everything? ill have to check it out! save some money there Thanks DD

    Test kits

    What test kits are good to invest in? Would something of this: Seachem Multi Test Marine Basic is all you would need? Has ph,alkalinity, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate kits into one kit. All you really need to worrie about would ph, ammonia, nitriteand nitrate correct?

    Air pump?

    Will any Air pump do? or does it need to be the right size for the tank? Better to be the right recommend pump for the tank? Say the tank is 90 gallons
  9. Would the air from the air pump kit the sand around? or will it just move it out the way and be fine? any of you guys have air pumps with sand bottoms? Been thing of going sand but not sure yet. Can you get like white sand or black sand from home depot, or is it just the basic color in play grounds etc?
  10. Ok cool, thanks got that figured out now
  11. 2217 would be all you would need for a 90? Been looking at HOB filters and canisters. Been putting prices together and seeing what prices come to. And what I’d like to spend. Sure lots of different ways to go about. On my Ten gallon I had the same problem with the impeller stopping at times. That concerned me a lot on my ten gallon, didn’t like it stopping. So when you say biological filtration and mechanical. The bio would be a canister type and a mechanical is a HOB type?
  12. midgetwaiter, how come your done with canisters? Too many problems? too expensive? They are pricey Also been looking at the Emperor Bio-Wheel filters as well would 2 of those be enough?
  13. Thanks all! Neely he I wish I could do 150 or bigger. A 90 gallon tank probably going to be the right size for me. Anything bigger will be pushing the space it will be going in.
  14. Wow neely, 3 filters. that’s just wow! Would never of though you would need that much :cuss: that’s sure a lot is it just for African cichlids? Tanker, Yea I'll be doing a tropical FW. Wouldn’t put 40 bala's in lol 1 or 2 at most.. If any bala's. Be doing something like tetras, barbs, betta, and cleaner fish mostly. This gets very confusing very fast :bang1: How bad do the hoses get with sludge? Pain to clean them out? I can always add a second later if its a must. Woozers! Do you really need to have 8x the filtration? Shouldn’t double be enough? (Very new to all this, specially the bigger size tanks, so please be patient) Discus, From the LFS, the guy said the Eheim was easier to clean and less maint :grr: and you dont get airlocks in the Eheim... Hrm i just dont know. What he recomened anyways I guess everyone is different and is all personal preference.
