New Section And Possibly New Rule
williewonka replied to williewonka's topic in Site Suggestions & Ask a Moderator forum
We have already lost waaay to many hobbiests due to suspensions... Maybe, it's more important to worry about the hobbyists that either quit posting or quit the site altogether, than the few that happen to be suspended as a result of their actions. -
Make a new section and call it say.... Foods and Nutrition and then all discussions (read arguments) can go in one location. Also, make it a rule that any hijacking of threads whether it's by unnecessary comments in the buy/sell section or taking a photo thread and turning it into an argument (I can't in any stretch of the imagination call it a discussion) be against the rules and stop all the bad vibes. While your at it... maybe make another rule that any PERSONAL verbal attack on another member be punished by a suspension of site privileges and enforce it (no matter the status or position of the offending person). I've seen the same discussion/name calling take over any number of threads in the last few years with the same arguments brought up. If these were put into it's own section, maybe then the pros and cons of different foods could be discussed in an intelligent manner and a reader could look at the different viewpoints and form their own opinion as to what is best for their fish. Personally, I fed my fish mainly NLS, but, if someone else figures beefheart is best, then more power to them. I have also found studies that suggest that beefheart might have some benefits, so an intelligent discussion of the facts in the proper place might help more people. just my 3 cents.

Why not drain the tank, take the filter and put it on the same tank as the fish?

Looking good. How big are they now?

Does not stop african cichlids... Wouldn't stop people either.

Nice fish. How big did they end up being?

500 gallon ( the build with lots of pictures )

I was looking for the specs on the bolts as I would like to incorperate this idea into a future project but I didn't find the specs for load bearing strength in the link . It just tells you how much better Gr 8 bolts are than normal bolts and what they are made of. I just want to see what the thread tension strength is so I know how many to add to my project stand. http://dodgeram.org/tech/specs/bolts/SAE_bolt_strength.html -
I've used Keta-Peat Nuggets with my reds, but I was using for the blackwater more to induce them to breed. I'm not sure that it really done much other than darken the water as I never bothered to check ph levels.

That's sort of what I thought. He's calling them a mated pair and I didn't think they would be mature enough at that age to pair off.
-
First off, would they be sexually mature enough at 6-7" disks to be considered a mated pair? Also, I'm assuming since they are supposed to reach around 18 inches that a 2' by 6' 180 gal tank would be no where near large enough for them in the long term. Thanks

great pictures . That's a nice tank.

Agreed, it's a great setup.

Lucky dog.. pups again.

welcome to spring-beware the water
williewonka replied to Guppygirl's topic in General Aquaria Discussion
No offense taken. It was only a comment. I know one guy who doesn't change water ever, only tops up for evaporation. I wouldn't tell him or anyone else how to take care of their tanks. I happen to live in an area where I have to use conditioner and with almost 400 gal. of tanks it wouldn't be feasible for me to age water even if I could. But, speaking only for myself(as a natural lazy person), even if I only had a 10 gal tank and could age water, the 15 drops of prime that it would take to do a water change without advance planning is a cheap investment in my opinion. -
welcome to spring-beware the water
williewonka replied to Guppygirl's topic in General Aquaria Discussion
Plus, with all the money invested in tanks and fish, for the sake of a couple of bucks a week let alone the extra work involved in aging water (if your in an area where that is possible).. why take the risk. Even an extra capful of prime or whatever a person uses is cheap insurance in the long run. -

best quarantine treatment
williewonka replied to Tracked maniac's topic in General Aquaria Discussion
I think it's more of a chance to check the fish to see if it seems to be healthy with no noticeable problems before you put it in the main tank and take a chance of infecting your main tank. I'm not sure that you should be treating it with anything unless it is actually sick. -
March XB update with chipped scales
williewonka replied to RDFISHGUY's topic in Oddballs & Predators
I don't know anything about the scales. But, if the leaves are helping I do have another bag or so that you can have if you need them. Fred -

Where is the best place to buy flexible tubing
williewonka replied to williewonka's topic in Equipment
Thanks.. I'll try Princess Auto. I was worried about some of it being better suited than others. I was thinking of Home Depot and it might be a good thing I asked first. -
I have to buy some replacement tubing for a Rena xp and was just wondering where would be the best place to get the clear flexible tubing in Red Deer. Thanks in advance. Fred
