about 6 monthsish before he finally escaped and i didnt find him in time. it was my first tank. I was about 14... there was no access to land in the tank, but to get out he would climb the filter intake... sorry i cant be of more help.

I had one once, long time ago. was a little escape aritist. he would try for fish but couldnt catch them unless they were injured. was fully aquatic. thats really all i can remember.

I use a credit card to scrape the inside of my glass... about all mine are good for anyway.

Now it occurs to me that I have been doing this the hard way. I always add my prime to water while it is in a bucket and swish it around for a bit before adding it to the tank, I guess in an attempt to let it mix and get rid of the chlorine before adding it to the tank. it appears here that this is not necessary? I can add it to the tank and then add tap water and I will be good?

Don't feel bad Ross. I wouldn't know how to deal with any of that either.

looks like a pom pom crab to me... maybe missing a 'pom'

thanks guys. ill have to pock some of that up.

I would like to change the color of some of the decorations in my tank. Is their any paint out there that is safe to do this with? (ie. wont put anything harmful into the water?)

Here is a pic of my new 46 gal. Currently has a couple of homeless mollies (or platies, the girl who donated them to me wasn't sure) and Sirocco, my vail tail betta. I currently have a rena filstar xp3 and an aquaclear 50 for filtration, the black gravel, and some black poster board as a back ground. I would like eventually to put some african's in after my bank account recovers from buying the tank. Maybe yellow labs? Is this a big enough tank for africans? Anyway thats not for a while down the road.

Thanks for the reply's guys. I turned the output to face the glass and it appears to have calmed the current down in the tank quite a bit. :thumbs:

Well at least it is not just me. Thanks for the replys!

You could try spraying some break clean on it. My garage experience says that will take almost anything off of almost anything. (I would keep it away from the silicone though, might melt it)

I just bought a new 46 gal tank. On it i put a Rena Filstar Xp3 and and Aqua Clear 50. Is this too much filtration for a tank of that size? The current seems quite strong.

Occasionally over the last week when I come to this site I get a message that says IPS Driver Error, Is this something to do with my computers/internet connection (other sites work ok) or is this a problem with the site itself?

...My cousin had a tank, or maybe a paladarium where she siliconed some slate tiles to clear pipe to create a false floor, the water came up about a cm over the tile to give her red bellied toads a place to perch, and a place to swim underneith. It was just guppies and froggies, but it was a nice effect and she never had a problem with the tile, so I think you should be ok.
