What do you think? http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-tank-equipment/58166-new-tank-what-do-you-think.html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:09:29 GMT Hey guys! I can't believe it! I believe i may have gotten my parents to accept the idea that i want to buy a tank to put in my room. It was easy to get my dad aboard, but i had to convince my mom more, but she was pretty much agreed when i told her it would be going in my room.

What i was looking at is a 40 gallon breeder (36"Lx18"Wx16"H). I saw it at Petco today and it's priced at $109.99. I thought it was kinda high for just a tank that didn't have a tank kit with it (lights, hood, filter exc.). Then i was talking to an associate, and she said something that shocked me. She said that if i buy the tank her manager said that i could have a tank kit that came with a damaged tank for free. Amazing right? Only thing is that i don't know what size tank the kit came with. I would have looked at it tonight but my parents were ready to leave.

I even convinced my dad to help me build a book shelf to put the tank on. The bookcase would be 40"Lx20"Wx26 3/4"H. Would that be big enough or would it need to be bigger. The space it's going in is 46'Lx23"W.

Hi all,

just orderd my new tank form a LFS, allready have 2 x 200ltrs up and running, just after some advice

the new tank is 6ft long, 2.5ft high and 2ft in depth, the tank will have a sump preinstalled into the cabinet with some t5 lights running, the weir will be built into the tank so no messing about with external boxes, the toal size including the stand comes in at 6ft high, 6ft long and 2ft depth, time for some step ladders i think

ive got the internal size as around 800 litres with the sump running as well, proberbly be a tropical setup as i know this or am i wasting this tank size with a tropical setup?

would i need 2 heaters for this setup as its alot of water?
whats the best fish to keep in such a big tank?
any other advice on such a large tank?

if you have any advice or comments about stocking and running a tank please reply

any posts would be thanked ]]> Freshwater Tank Equipment riksworld http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-tank-equipment/57877-new-tank-arriving-soon.html Powerhead http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-tank-equipment/57614-powerhead.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 00:50:30 GMT Hi all,

So I've decided to get a powerhead for my tank. If you've looked at my profile, ignore it, I haven't updated it for a while. It's a 75 gallon planted Swordtail tank w/ 3 AC 110 HOB filters. So my question is should I get the Hydor Koralia Water circulating pump or the Hagen AC powerhead?

The Hydor can be placed anywhere in the tank which sounds nice as I can put it close to the bottom where water is probably less dynamic but...

The Hagen allows for the addition of a filter which never hurts.

I've been torn between these two for over a month now so any opinions on either would be nice. ]]> Freshwater Tank Equipment omnitheforsaken http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-tank-equipment/57614-powerhead.html 29 Gallon Tank: light on planted tank http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/freshwater-tank-equipment/57490-light-planted-tank.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 21:22:33 GMT my 29 gallon

Ive been going through some crazy changes lately. I got married a few months ago and recent bought a house. Now my MTS has really caught up to me. Today I'm moving and have some heavy tanks to move not to mention my fish!

Ive done a ton of research and feel confident that it will go without a hitch. I have lots of fish bags, coolers, and a couple of brother in laws that can bench press a mini cooper. Should go well. I will let everyone know what happens after I get back online.

What options do I have for hoods that will allow me to place this tank that I don't hav room for with a typical hood?
I looked at Fosters but didn't see anything, I think if I call them they could recommend something, great customer service.
Do any of you have any ideas? It has to be lighted.

After... Long story short...(Ive heard that one before!);D
I had a case of ICH with my cardinals several months ago and I turned my heater up to 84. After the Ich cleared up I turned the heater back down to 82as Cardinals prefer warmer water.(82-84 in the wild)
The fish have always been somewhat lethargic and I couldnt figure out why. I recently turned the heater down to 78 to see if that would help things and they perked up and are actively schooling.
Heres the kicker....my heater was set at 78 and my Coralife digital thermometer is reading 80 still. So I checked with my digital kitchen meat thermometer and it reads 84. I checked with a Mercury bathroom thermometer and it still reads 84. So my heater setting is off by 6 degrees and my digital coralife is off by 4. When I had the heater set at 84 it was actually 90! I cant believe they were so far off of each other. Well I now have the tank at what appears to be a true 80. All fish are active and looking great. I wonder now if that might explain the 3 fish I lost for no apparent reason. I wish I had noticed sooner.
Cross check your thermometers and heaters it could save a life.

I'm still trying to find a good sturdy stand or piece of solid wood furniture that can properly support my 50 gallon, which obviously isn't up yet, but needs to be ! I've got my 3 goldies still in my 30gallon, and I need to get them outta there.

I've tried furniture stores, pet stores (yuck, the stuff is all particle board!)
and even online, but the choices are so limited. One online site called glasscages makes wood stands, but I've read mixed customer reviews about them, so I'm afraid to go ahead and order. Also, a DIY project is out of the question for me...

So where do you all buy your stands? The tank is going in my family room, so I need to have an attractive piece, like solid wood cherry or maple. But my main concern is that it be able to support the weight of a 50g tank.

I have calculated the estimated prices of the stuff that I know I need and I have set my budget. I just need comments to confirm the equipment needed. I should start to buy the neccesary items next week.

List of Items:

substrate: normal white sand
lighting: 7 watts
Co2: Nutrafin Co2 diffuser
fish: 7 Cardinal Tetras (will add after plants are added)
plants: haven't decided yet.

Questions:
Is the white sand okay?
Do I need higher lighting?
Do I need a heater? Average temperature here in my place is 29-30 degrees celcius
Anything else?

Plants I was thinking dwaft hairgrass, some christmas/java moss. Need suggestions for low light plants.
