I'm talking about customizing Hang on Back filters, not canister filters. Is that what you mean?

There is posts about customizing HOB filters somewhere in the forum that are amazingly helpful. and it is even a fun project

Well, if I get some older ones that have already been sexed. I think it would be OK...??

Hey, guys, Thanks for the replies. I have not heard from you in a while, coral bandit. I wanted a larger number than two, so I thought maybe Bolivian rams were better?? Thanks Nick

Hi, guys. It has been awhile. My gold laser cories survived a long time. There were three left a couple months ago. Same with my bleeding heart tetras and the old plecos. The pleco babies have two survivors. One is huge in the 20 gallon upstairs, he hangs out under a piece of mopani wood all the...

I get my plants from Dustin's Fishtanks... I get texts all the time about deals

Good morning, everyone. I have not been on here for awhile since work and church and life have taken up a lot of my time. My 20 gallon upstairs and my 30 gallon downstairs are thriving. Half the fish have died of old age, though. The tanks are established, so I have not had to test the water in...

Hey guys, I was having green algae growing on the sides of the tank that neither the plecos or the snails could eat. I just used my credit card to scrape it all off. Success!

Here are some pics of the new home of the Ram. The 20G with a tasty treat of bloodworms:)

Thanks, Mac. The lady at the fish store was nice. It is the only one I go to because it is great. I think she just didn’t know. Right after I did my first post, I rehomed the Bolivian Ram downstairs to the 30 Gallon. I hope the angels don’t attack him. They were fine before with Bolivian Rams...

I posted in another thread that I bought a female African Kribensis and a Bolivian Ram. The Kribensis is bullying the Bolivian Ram so much so that he is just hanging out in the upper corner of the tank next the HOB filter and heater. There are a ton of hiding places in the tank, but the...

I get back I the forum and I’m already getting the cheese :) lol
