I stopped by a while back and they weren't open during normal hours. I've tried calling a few times and nobody answers. I need some shrimp. I heard the store got sold. Is it still operating?

The only spot where I could put it is in a large recess under the window on the outside wall of the bedroom. That's why I might be able to get the tank is because the recess is now open. I imagine an outer wall would be weight bearing, right?

My wife might let me get another aquarium which is pretty generous since our apartment is pretty small already. We live in a 2nd floor apartment. My question is this: Does being on the second floor put a limitation of the size of tank I can get? I know tanks get very heavy very fast and don't...

I'm planning to attend but will likely be late to the meeting. I really hope the post the video online so I can watch what i missed. Hoping to see plants and shrimp at the auction. cafman

I have CO2, in fact the watersprite is right in the bubble stream. I put some shrimp in the tank and they seem to love the WS. I want a bunch of it in background of the tank. I have the marineland double bright. I got the big one and put it on a 30gallon tank. So the light hangs over a couple...

Been reading different things online so thought I'd ask here. Last week I bought some watersprite. One shoot put on serious growth this week, I could literally check it, go run errands and mark the new measurable growth in a few hours upon returning. Anyways that shoot got too tall (top of the...

My son and I were looking in his tank today and realized there is a red shrimp in there. The funny thing is we never bought any shrimp. His tank is just 6 red platties from the Tom Barr meeting of the Seattle fish club and a trio of BNs i got this week. The shrimp must have hitched a ride and we...

wicked chris on xbox live. haven't been on for awhile. played a little limbo which is simple but awesome. will probably play a little when the borderlands patch comes out.

So my male angel always ignored the corner of the tank farthest from the filter. That's the corner that now has the diffuser in it. The male angel now spends all his time in the CO2 bubble stream. After a while he slowly drifts motionless to the bottom of the tank. A few minutes later he goes...

Alright, system appears to be up and running. I'm starting conservative to make sure I'm not over doing the CO2 although info on the web for bubbles per minute is pretty sketchy. I know tank size and diffusion method effect bbp but seems like there would be more info.

Gonna start putting things together. Just filled up the aluminium CO2 tank for the first time. There is a lot of condensation after I got the tank filled. The condensation is normal right? My understanding is that the CO2 being in liquid form is very cold so the tank gets cold and "sweats". Will...

My fish think it is either day or night. No dusk or dawn. Just light or dark. Frankly they have no chance at all of unraveling the mysteries of the universe.

My wife wouldn't go inside. Once inside I was a little scared it might turn into the basement scene in Pulp Fiction. Upon leaving a junkie couple started physically fighting over a pipe in the alley. That is totally true by the way.

Doesn't seem the same without Layne Staley.

I see the tank costs 50-80. Also the kits appear to cost around 150$. Saw this one but don't know if it's any good. http://www.fosterandsmithaquatics.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=9935&N=2004+113779 A little more expensive then I thought (kit + tank < 200$). Especially since I just got a...
