Thanks for the info. I don't run Purigen continuously. I had treated the tank with meds and been using some peat to get my PH down closer to neutral, it was running 7.6. One day with Purigen and the tannin color is gone (not that I minded it) and water is super clear. I added some of the...

Hooked up my FX6 about a year ago and I'm running Purigen in one of the baskets. Somehow I ended up with a couple of media bags that were stretchy and when I put them in the basket they formed perfectly to the basket size so no bypass that I think I get on the typical nylon bags that don't fit...

Finally got it pretty well stocked. Got Koi and albino Dantum angels and red & blue eye yellow pleco from Angels+ , Pinoy Leopards, Clowns, Pariba Smokey from Artistic anngels and Belgium Greens, Seal Points and Smokey marbles from Mike Bulgarian angels. Apistos on aquabid. Kuli loaches, Juli...

Anyone have experience buying from Nation Wide Aquatics. They have a nice list of plecos and I'm looking at the L397, L134 and L260.

Good point R makes about the tempered glass, risky. My glass is either not tempered or was drilled first then tempered. I've had both internal and external overflow boxes on my salt tanks. not a fan of the hang on the back type. Internal work great and are drilled through the bottom but take...

This is the layout for my new CustomAquariums custom tank build. The siphon stoppers are the returns. You might want to check out there site. They have a really nice (not cheap) sump, overflow and return system. I like that the sump is made of HDPE and is virtually unbreakable. If you're...

Does anyone feed Nori to their freshwater fish. Feed it to my salties all the time. Reading the ingredients on some of the algae wafers seems many of them have kelp and seaweed. Seems it would be easier and cheaper to just use nori?

Just found that he has them on ebay also so was able to send a message that way. Just purchased on ebay. They were a bit hard to find and supposedly from the Gary Lange rainbow breeder so I'm excited to get them.

I really want to bid on these rainbows but I just registered and it takes up to 24 hours for them to send me a password that allows me to bid or get a message to the seller and the bid expires in 4 hours. Hopefully they will extend the bid time. Wish there was a way to get the seller a...

Looking for blue variety angels. Anyone ever order from Majestic Angels? They have a facebook page and are on aquabid and appear to have some nice looking angels.

Just beginning to stock my new tank an was considering ordering from them also. Most of the posts I've seen have been positive. Let me know how you make out if you order.

Got some plants today from Marcus Fish Tanks. Still looks kinda bare but hopefully they will fill in and the goldfish don't dig them up. 2 weeks and still 0 ammonia and 0 nitrites. The driftwood was in my pond for a couple of months and the 4 bags of eco-complete are supposed to have bacteria...

Got the hardscape pretty well set up. Plants on the way from Marcus Fish Tank and need to get the the cabinet started. Couple of goldfish from my pond to get the cycle going. For the substrate used a couple of bags of 1" lava rock, bag of pea gravel on top of that to fill the voids and then 4...

Biz my new tank finally arrived so probably a month out before I'm ready for fish. Probably get a few koi and Dantum from Angels+. Looking for some other cool looking blue or something nice to go with the kois. Can you send me some of your contacts and any thoughts/suggestions to go with the...

Wow that's so cool that you built your own tank and very similar size and steel frame and same plans for fish. Looks awesome! I plan to build a "false cabinet" with 1/2" plywood that rests on the floor with the top being held on with strip magnets to the steel frame. That way I can yank off the...

Yeah tank showed up today what a beast. Got the stand in the basement but going to need more muscles for the tank.

Not planning to raise fry, more of a community (Angels + dither) but will have some expensive koi angels so don't think I'll take the chance.

Setting up my new tank (180 gallon) and want to have angelfish as my main display fish. Would an ultum angle get along okay with a group of saclares?

My new tank should be here in a couple of weeks (60"L x 30"H x 24"W) and I have two 30" Finnex ALCs. Went with the ALCs because they had a higher par and thought might help with 30" deep tank. Trying to program it now. Not the most user friendly set up. I'm thinking for the cycling process...

I looked at those. One nice thing is they also have an app that will send you an alarm if your temp gets out of wack. Also read some mixed reviews on their dependability so thought maybe a more commercial controller might be more dependable but I guess you never know for sure. Using it on my...
