[Boost Infested]

[jdmakkord]

All depends on the filter, mine are 2 aqua 500's and they humm along if the water level is nice and high. Once it drops a bit, you hear the sound of pouring water all night....lol. I'm sure there are quieter filters out there, but these were cheap.

[Ben]

We'll have to get together so you can give me the rundown, it's been years and years since I've had a decent fish tank.

Nice layout of your cichlid tank. :thumbsup:
That white gravel is going to make that tank and the fish very bright.


I lost all my pics of my fish and tank when my pos HD failed, but I'll see if I have any on the net.

speaking of cichlid, i was at Ginger Beef in sunridge mall for dinner on sunday. they have a 55gl tank, i saw a fire red cichlid. Red cichlids are rare find right?

[azn_chopstikz]

i got 4 fish tanks in my house

one 50 gallon i believe which is basically 4 koi fish and a 35 cent feeder fish i had for 4 years

a 12 gallon which i have for my crab

a 30 gallon with a Oscar, algae eater and two sharks

and a 60 gallon i think (could be bigger) with a shit load of small fish

[combo97]

that is 1 fine tank u got there...mine is only a 45 litre....

if ya wanna get rid of it 4 sum reason can i hav it!?

[Ben]

no pics of my tank yet, but I just bought a 33gal Hexagon jobbie.

I have a new snail tho. He's a Pomacea Canaliculata from the Apple Snail family. I havent decided on a name...he's kinda tempermantal.


Probably gonna name him Oscar.

[Ben]

he loves to climb.

[Ben]

almost ready for fish!

Se if you can find the snail, haha, he sure loves his plants.

[Seanith]

Thats a cool looking tank Ben.. I want to get a tank going in my room (we have had fish numerous times and have several tanks at home i can use), but my mom says having a tank will "fuck up" the walls in some way.. wtf is she talking about? Will the walls somehow soak up water or something?? I want a tank dammit! :rolleyes:

[Ben]

Nah, you'd have to have a hot tub or sauna to screw the walls up. Fish tanks only increase the level of humidity in a room a few percentages. A rainy day is far worse for your home than a fish tank, haha

[dgmartinez]

Here ya go, tropical, classed as semi aggresive

My fish had a baby!!! Wow, that has never happened before... =P

[Rockski]

hmmm
ill have to post a pic of my 10 gallon with johnas (my salamander) in it when i get my camera from work
its a sick tank (in a bad way)

[bosa]

Really cool everyone!

I used to have a couple fish but one night my brother got up in the middle of the night and swung his legs over the top of the bunk-bed and knocked the fish tank over. :guns:

It's actually a little funny, but not kinda.

Goldfish are a pain though, they shit like crazy and all that.

Cheers.

Finally got some pics of my tank up!

They are not too bad, depends on what you want. I bought mine at Gold's for $7 each. Depends on where you go, stick to Ocean's or Gold's and you shouldn't have to pay too much for the more common fish and corals.

A word of caution though, stay away from Big Al's, they seriously tear a new hole in your ass!

[nboylie]

i will get a shot of my 45 up.....soon lol

wow, fish tanks, this site has everythign!!! i'll take some pics of my tank lmao 33 gal....

I have a serious problem with my fish relocating the gravel in my 90 gallon tank. The big bastards can have 5-6" piled up in the front of the tank overnight. Its getting annoying.

I realize they are just trying to hide and make themselves deeper caves but no matter what size of caves I give them they always have to make it bigger.

Anyone have any suggestions? Im thinking of maybe switching substrates but Im getting tired of pushing the gravel around all the time. :dunno:

All they are doing is staking their territory. Take a stick, push the gravel back, it keeps them busy. Also, when you do your water changes, move the decorations around, confuse them into thinking they are somewhere different.....also good if they are getting agressive.

[Chris88CL]

Yeah I usually end up moving the plants and stuff around more often then I change the water. Actually, its them that moves the stuff around. Live plants last maybe a week before they get torn apart and fake plants usually end up floating after a day or two.
One of these days Im just going to silicone the plants to the floor of the aquarium or to a big rock.

My fish are fairly aggressive but get along surprisingly well for the wierd combination. I have a 7-8" Red Oscar, a 1.5-2" Congo Puffer and a couple cichlids in my 90 gallon freshwater tank. Anything else I put in they usually eat fairly quickly (including pleco's, which sucks for algae control).

Its mainly the oscar that moves the gravel around. He's so big that he can displace ALOT of gravel in a short period of time.

Im actually taking a break from tearing down pretty much the entire tank right now. Its time for the fall cleaning and its taking FOREVER. It takes me like 4-5 hours.

Its definately not the prettiest tank or setup but it's decent for just a decoration in the TV room. I'll try to get pics up tonight if I ever finish cleaning it. I need to go pickup more rocks to make caves from.

How many other people here have cichlids? And what kind?

I have a 140 gallon mixed cichlid tank, with 30-40 fish ranging from electric yellows and blues, to 7 bar frontosias and clown loaches. Lots more that I dont know much about, other than the fact that they look awesome.

[Chris88CL]

Anyone ever tried anything like this:

Im seriously considering it. I know it takes a LONG time to cure properly so it doesnt release crap into the water, but it looks awesome.

How often do you have to change the water in your tanks? Does it take a long time?

[ae8polishman]

Boost Infested my uncle has one of those....u get it at al's fish place....nice tanks

[2.0turbo]

I got a nice 20 gallon that I have had for many years. I used to live in a house with a water purification system similar to reverse osmosis but was done with uv, anyway, how do you take this crappy chlorine invested water and put it in to a fresh water tank with out hurting your fish. Do those "safe water" in 20 min things actually work? Anyone had any experience with it, I've lost a couple fish and it must be time for a change.

[BassPlayer0018]

hey im new here i have a 20 gal saltwater fish tank and i just
got a 50 gallon fish tank yesterday. one person told me that
it might fall through the floor because it ways over 500lbs. i know its a stupid question but can someone please reply back. thanks!!!:thumbsup:

[BassPlayer0018]

i live in america dont hate me...lol:guns:

[BassPlayer0018]

will a 50 gallon fishtank fall through my floor?

[BassPlayer0018]

help

[Thaco]

yes

[Ben]

50 gallons = approximatly 415pounds of water + rocks, gravel, and the tank it's self, so will it fall through the floor? in a modern house, no, your bathtub is heavier. As long as your home has proper floor joists and supported cross members, you'll be fine.

[w3apon]

Have three ~170 lbs guys stand side by side and jump up and down for a minute...if they don't fall through the floor your good to go :D

Put it against the wall and you should have no problems as long as your house is properly constructed.

once i get my own place, a loft or something i wanna get a built in fish tank in my wall, i think those are so facinating and if you get the right kinds of fish and colours in the tank it looks great at night time

Before my swap into salt, i used to keep a fish called flowerhorn, those things get a lil pricy for the nice qaulity.. bought it for 150$ when it was around 2" and sold it fr 300$ after a few months of growth.. around 6"-8"

My tank is on the back burner now, until I finish moving. Once that is done, December maybe, I'm going to start all over, with Frontosa's. I lost 15-16 fish a few months ago due to a real bad case of ich:(
