Yet another question.. What would be the best combination of filter media? I currently have Eheim Ehfimech, Eheim Substrat Pro, Eheim Filter Pad (fine and coarse) and filter floss. I am also thinking of adding prefilter Sponges. And a slightly different one: I have about 30 carats of small (2-7mm.) ...

The best cat food I have ever found is Applaws. It contains exactly what it says on the package, and nothing else. Even the dry food is 80% meat. And the wet food actually looks and smells like food. You can clearly see and smell every single ingredient. My cat absolutely loves it. She has the dry f...

Another +1 for not killing it when you don't know what will become of it. It survived before you started feeding it, so chances are, it could still live a good life without you. The cat house looks really nice. If you can get him to use it, it would make a big difference during the cold months. Fera...

As promised. Here are a picture of my newly made aquarium stand. The tank is 42 gallons (US) and measures 100x40x40 cm. The total height of the stand with tank and hood, is 114 cm. http://dk.fotoalbum.eu/images1/200904/92792/547883/00000001.jpg Took me a little less than one hour to make, and cost s...

Not sure if it is still relevant, But building it yourself does not need to take very long.
I just finished a stand for my 42 gallon (US) long. It took me little less than one hour.

I will gladly post a picture and construction guide, when my camera is done charging.

I will soon be getting a couple of bus/truck batteries. They have a massive capacity and should be able to keep filters, heater and light going for quite some time.
A friend of mine is a bus driver, and has promised me to get them for me very cheap

Right... Been to the LFS and they didn't have any aragonite in stock right now. But then again, I'm not in any hurry. I have asked around a bit, and it seems quite a few people have had great results by putting crushed coral or small pieces of limestone in their filter canisters. Or just putting a f...

Answers are in red. I really like this guy! I did not read a mention of test kits. You need a liquid master test to monitor your cycle and your levels once you have the fish..you at least need tests for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite. Got them :D Also, go ahead a learn where you can get good seafood c...

The time has finally come for me to set up my first puffer tank. My first tank ever, in fact. I want to ensure that my puffy new friend has the best living conditions I can provide for him/her. To that end, I would appreciate any advise you can offer, regarding tank set up and management. Specifical...

A brackish tank shouldn't be a problem. As I see it, it is like most other things. If you get the right equipment, do the research and is ready to do the required work, it is possible. I have also made sure that the supplier of my future fish, keeps them in brackish conditions. Fortunately my LFS of...

Thank you

I plan on getting a Figure 8.

Hello to you all.. I am new to this forum and to fish in general. Have been lurking around for a while, reading and gathering knowledge. Denmark is my country of origin, but I am here due to the severe lack of puffer related communities in my home country (cichlid country :? ) Being my second langua...
