Thanks for the advice, I will try to build an above tank basking when I'm free for the 75 gallon. However, I can't build a pond for him since I live in a condo and the area outside belongs to the condo corp. The max size tank I could probably fit safely in my place is the 75 too. I figure in the lon...

Yeah I have a heat lamp and a UV lamp for him. I also have cuttle bone in the water so it can add some calcium I think? not sure but someone told me to put it in. About the above tank dock, I've seen those but don't know how to make one. Do you have any suggestions for me? One thing I found was that...

Hey guys, I've recently moved into my new place and so far setup 2 of my tanks, a 5.5 gallon and a 20 gallon long tank. The 5.5 is a DP tank with 3 DPs and an Otocinclus. The 20 gallon currently houses goldfish and a baby turtle. Now I know you guys will bash me for having such small tanks but I wil...

It seems that you can totally eradicate ich from your tank and its not always there. you could try the salt method. Read that article it gives alot of insight good luck

Ya I've read that, however i dont know what kind of support i have under the floors.. I mean would any floor be able to hold up say a 40 gallon tank or a 50 gallon? I really don't want to go any smaller of a tank than a 40 or 50.. But i already have my 75 and dont really wanna sell it.. I hope it co...

Hi, I'm about to move into the 3rd floor of a terrace home. The two bottom floors is one house, so the 3rd floor would be my first floor. I want to know if my 75 gallon tank would be ok on this floor. I'm reading about people saying that its too much load for the floor to take etc.. I don't want to ...

Ok, since no one replied I went out and bought 4 bags of instant aquarium tahitian black moon sand to put in my tank. I also bought a new T5HO ligh fixture. http://www.aquacave.com/48-glo-dual-t5-hobr-2-x-54w-lighting-systembr-by-hagen-2012.html I doubt this light fixture would be enough to grow any...

Hey guys, I now have my new 75 gallon tank for a few days now and I'm planning to set it up asap for my Abei.The filter is an Eheim Ecco 2236 and the lighting is a coralife t5 48" 2x28 watt bulbs. Now I know the lighting isn't enough for to grow plants but would some java ferns be ok with this ...

Thanks guys, I'm stopping the treatment now and beginning to lower the temp of the tank down. I hope the dots on his fins will go away.

Ok, I really hope its not ich as it will affect my entire tank until i kill them all with heat and salt. However, I will keep this treatment up for another 20 days as long as my Abei seems ok with it just in case. After that i will move him to his new 75 gallon home!! lol hope he will like it

Yes I know the minimum suggested is 25 gallon. I was just asking if a 20 would be ok. Some people say betta needs 5 gal minimum and some say 2.5 gallon. So i thought it was just an opinion. But I have just bought a 75 gallon tank with stand and eheim filter. I'm planning to get another canister for ...

Anyone have any idea what it is? maybe bacterial infection? or fungus? i dont know..

So the dots on his skin that show up with the flash its not ich right? cause its not there without the flash and his skin is totally smooth. i could be pigmentation or something. Do the dots on his left fin look like ich? its still there after 11 days of treatment now

Sorry the pic was too big so i had to crop it and reload

Ok here are the pics. There are white dots on his fin on the left side when looking straight at him. There is also one dot on the base of his top fin. I hope you guys can tell whether its ich or not.. Thanks PS those little dots on his skin only show up when the flash goes off and you cant see them ...
