Any aquarium enthusiasts out there?

yea, it could be just some kind of bacteria or somethin, i just had a bout with the cottony crap, i caught it too late too, the fish who had real badly nver came out much so i didnt even know he had it, the stuff spreads internally if you dont catch it quickly, luckly it was only a few texas/carpintis cichlids that didnt cost much in the tank bc they all died.......i just got to thinkin, youve got an evo,......i have a better evo, you have fish, i have better fish, you wanna maybe get married or something ?ill even let you put your evo in the garage with mine lol

Ich is a bitch. Like said above, if not taken care of in time its curtains. Number 1 reason ppl get it is from improper acclimation of new fish. ie. Pouring store water into your tank. They also say you can get it from having too cold of water I think. Worst disease has to be "Hole in the Head" disease. I've got it with mostly aged fish like my severums. It's ashame after getting attached to a fish for years.

Here's some of my 200 gallon oceanic pride:

I wish i had a 200 gallon tank I really want to put one together... but i just can fathom moving it in a year or two when i start looking for a house. I was thinking maybe a 30-40 gallon tank though... the fish store on germantown pike is kick ass. They had mud skippers in there for a few weeks... i was all set to go in and drop like $300 on an aquarium and mud skippers. Fortunately for my bank accounts... they didn't have any left when I went in to buy.

i got a 75gal and a 38 gal saltwater tank in use now. both have groupers and eels, very aggressive tanks. my one miniatus grouper killed other groupers bigger than him, a shark, a lionfish, a wrasse,a red snapper, a green wolf eel, mad clownfish, a fu man chu, as well as many other docile fish. then i stopped buying anymore. only my two snowflake eels can live with them it seems.

anyways, im looking to sell both tanks. also included is 30+lbs of liverock, a filter for each, lighting, a protein skimmer for the 75, and all the saltwater in 5 gallon buckets if wanted. pm and let me know if anyone is looking.

[evogsrviii]

here is a crappy pic of the eel and six line grouper in the 38

[Subie_sleeper]

The tank is up and running! So far I have a snowflake eel , a coral beauty angel and a 4 1/2 inch blue spiney lobster. Pics to come. BTW ... evogsriii I'd be interested in some liverock but thats about it. I have a friend that would be interested in buying the small tank though. We're in the Allentown area. PM me whith what you'd like for the smaller tank.

Nothing better then live rock. **** is so cool.

Added three Damsels today. Waiting to go to that pet place this weekend for some corals , anenome , clownfish and a lemon angel

[jrtcbmw]

ive only got a small 15 gallon tank. nothing big. still in school so having a nice tank just isnt the smartest idea.

at one point i want a big tank either fresh or salt water. but thats in the future.

you better watch out adding so much soo soon....salt needss a lot longer to cycle then fresh

[Kevin]

Damsels and Dominos lol cheapest salt water fish evarrr!! I hate how salt water fish are so expensive.

[gary]

A stocked tank is always good with enough filtration and always complete a fishless cycle!


Here are the tanks when I was living in an apartment




And some of my babbies


I also had 3 20L grow out tanks while I was breeding also. I gave all of it up except the 100G when I moved to PA. It is currently in the process of being refinished and should be setup soon.

I have a fluidized bed rated for a 300 gallon setup and 20 gallons of pre-mixed saltwater for water changes if there's a spike. Plus I think that it's more like 85 to 90 pounds of established liverock in the tank. I also check ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and ph twice a day. I'll keep that up as I continue to add livestock an then go to twice a week.(test kits aren't as cheap as a freshwater one lol) Everything is sttling in quite well.
