I found that a really good old dresser fits my 55 gallon tank perfectly and the drawers are excellent for storing the extra aquarium equiptment. I got mine off...
Yes, certain STURDY furniture is OK to use for smaller tanks but a 55G tank will end up weighing around 500 pounds and in the U.S., furniture manufacturers...
Unfortunately, our last remaining platy died. My daughter would like to try fishkeeping again, but we don't know exactly what killed the fish, so we would...
Tell us much more about the tank, set-up and history... or if you have already provided this info in a recent thread, give us a link to the thread so we can...
Also, do NOT change out the filter right now either. Just leave things be for now, with the tank's filter running while we figure out the next step. Lenny...
It is an extremely sturdy older wood dresser. I will definately make sure it will hold the weight beforeI set it up. That won't happen till august though as we...
Just as a safety net I would get about 3 people to sit on the dresser all at once to be sure its top plus the legs and sides will take the weight. 500 hundred...
BTW... when you and your partner get up on the dresser and do some boogeying, take some pics and post them to the group.... maybe in a file folder called DIY...
If I may, I will add a little to this discussion. Aside from Donna I haven't heard anyone mention the quarantine tank. (Unless I missed it.) You said you are...
My "boys" who are full grown men that weigh at least 300lbs ( my hubby wouldn't even attempt to get up on it!) each would not let me do that!! lol One of them...
Well that's too bad, my mom always gets crazy pics of us doing weird things, and we don't mind posing (we being my sister and friends). I've even modeled my...
Does anyone out there have Darter fish in their freshwater tanks? I was trying to find info on them and didn't find much. I was trying to find info on the...
I have 2 pairs of rainbow darters and yes they do prefer cooler water. I'm hoping I can keep them alive once the summer really gets going. Depends on how hot...
Amber, Look at the NANFA site, http://www.nanfa.org/ for info. You probably need to be a member to access a lot of stuff, but you may be able to grab some...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darter_(fish) Looks like there's a few hundred species just in N. America so you'd need to find out the species name to find out...
Hi Lenny, Steve, and group, Wondering if there is a way to modify an Eclipse tank to use another filter? Any thoughts as how to add either a HOB or canister to...
For about a year, LOL. I used an extremely sturdy oak Thomasville serving cabinet as a stand for a 20G fry tank on occasion as required. After a while the...
One mix of baking soda and Epsom salts when filling. All the rest is just standard tap water changes. It would be harder if you needed to go from softer to...
I really don't know much about Eclipse tanks, so I can't even begin to determine if they can be modified. \\Steve// ... From: AquaticLife@yahoogroups.com...
I had already read the wiki on them and realized the same thing ;) LOL. But thanks Lenny. I found their scientific name finally and found a site with better...
I've never had a filter actually manage to suck up enough water to suck up the detritus on the bottom of the tank too, normally that has to be done with...
Hi Amber, I am a big fan of the canister filters. Both of my other tanks are running Rena 3's and are pretty clear. I noticed that the Eclipses do not move ...
Hey, y'all! I just wanted to thank you for letting me be a part of this great group! Due to medical problems I will have to unsub from many of the wonderful...
Yep, just "Edit My Membership" on the home page, after you sign in and change your preferences to "No Mail" with all of your Yahoo Groups. The other option is...
