Green Seahorse

our neighbours have a huge outdoor pond. :drool: They heat it spring and fall with a sinking tank heated in a metal bucket to keep the fish from burning themselves. They put them in the garage in the early winter in a large trough as the power bill to keep the pond unthawed would be crazy! They have some huge fish! Proper filtration and minimal feeding keeps them clean. They also run lights for them all the time. They winter fine.

I think I am gonna fill it with Cichlids!!!!!

Awww they are so cute!

We ran the tank with fish in it................................. The fish was healthy when we got it, very nice fish, maybe the stress of all the excitement with all the kids and their friends was too much. I just feel really bad for the little fish. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: RIP Rasputin, we will all miss you. Will his mate die without company? What should we do with Ursula? Should we get her a friend???

He is on his side, barely any sign of life.............. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: The kids are all so sad................... Littlest one "poor, poor, pranah!"

yes :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: He is still the same......................... Can they play dead? His color is bright, but has minimal signs of life.

Water already changed, airstone on, kids changed water before could test.......... These are a new addition, got them Saturday, Tank cycled for a week prior with medium and gravel from another tank, added Prime and melafix.

He is just floating at the top of his tank, barely alive. Added melafix, anything else we can do?? :cry: Was fine an hour ago....................

Thanks everyone, I now have a 230 gallon tank he will be going into.

Beautiful! Very nice pics!

:welcome:

Looks Great! :thumbs: Great Job! This could be fun!

Aww poor little thing.................Sorry to hear that she escaped, One of our Sharks jumped tank today too................too late to save him. I still wonder how he fit between the filter and cover? :cry: :cry: silly fish

WEIRD just plain weird...............................

Ok well I am glad I did not start baking rocks! LOL -roll-

Is petrified wood not a rock?

:thumbs: Thank you! I am sooo excited! I will start tomorrow! So does everyone sterilize there slate and rock like this before putting it in there Aquarium? Do I do this to rock too?? p.s. Now I will be baking rock and pickling it. Yeah the kids are right........................................................ I am crazy! LOL :P

Don't use chemicals................... It is actually rock, but very pourus, almost like bone,but Oh so nice...................... Thought it would be nice to make caves for Cichlids!

Hey all, Wanting to know if petrified wood can be used in an Aqaurium? I have a lot of it in my flowerbed, some huge pieces and some that is in slabs. Can I use it to decorate my tank?? :well:

Thank you Chris! We are good to go! NO tank for sale! Now must move over 400 lb tank to living room.............hmmm :shock: Where can I get thoes suction Cup handles? Iwouldn't mind even buying a pair or two.

:flex: 230 Gallons [uS] = 1,919.4107451 Pounds Does this mean we have to reinforce the floor?? Never had anything this big...............Ahhhhhhhh! :w00t:

I want to go salt water soooooo :drool: bad, just don't feel confident enought to go to salt water yet. I am looking at a 75 gallon already being used for salt, thought maybe try that first. After all, live rock for the 230 would be big $$$$$$$ Maybe if we win the jackpot with the Super 7 lottery pool. LOL -roll-

Beautiful fish! But so very nasty!

My back went out this morning, I can hardly walk, it hurts to sit.......but I have a 230 gallon tank! My daughter wants to know how I can be happy and in so much pain, after all I have to clean the tank too............................................................................. ....Where do I set it up????????

:w00t: Its here! It is still on the trailer, but its here! :w00t: 230 gallon tank, 70 gallon sump, stand, filters..................everything I need!!!!!!! Just where to put it?? What do I put in it?????? -roll- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! -roll- This is so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!! :smokey: :rofl:
