I personally have never kept cardinals. None of the shops around me seem toncarry them. But I think neons are probably my very favorite aquarium fish. I like that they are a little smaller and I also prefer the less obnoxious amount of red. But having never kept cardinals who knows my whole...

It's a couple hundred gallons. Probably under 300. Get a few hours of direct Sun a day this time of year. But I don't think it will get more than 6-8 hours at the peak of summer. But the light it does get it pretty bright. Probably brighter than what the plants get inside. So wait til the day...

Are any common aquarium plants tollerant of sub-tropical temperatures? Im thinking about growing some of my plants in my pond over the summer. How do swords do with temp swings? Ludwigia? Any other common plants that can go from indoor to outdoors?

Do you by chance have a link to them? Please either update here start a new thread with some results even short term. I'm very interested to see how well they do. It seams like it would help tremendously just getting the bulb below the surface so none of the light is reflected. I know I'm...

Like a 12 inch knife fish in a 20 gallon tank. I don't remember if it was a ghost knife of what but it was way too big for the tank it was in.

I'm sure the cat will be reasonable if some one was like " look man . no look at the da.n fish in that tank. How about I stuff you in a steamer trunk for a few years. Or you can let me take that poor fish and give him a propper 590 gallon home." or something along those lines. Who wouldn't see...

I know. Its ridiculous . some people need to be sterilized at birth.

I think I still have a few 10 from the truck load of tanks I bought. At least 3-4.

I understand how evap cooling works. I just didn't think it could keep up in 90°+ days. I suppose as long as the temp swings are not super fast the fish will adapt right? Sorry for the dumb questions. I'm really not as new as it sounds. But I have been out of the hobby for a few years and I...

Even when it's like 99 degrees in my house? I wouldn't think a fan would pull that much heat out. I'm especially worried about my gold fish. But they will be outside by then I hope. How much evaporation can I look forward to it we have another summer like last year?

So last summer was miserable. How does everbody keep their tanks cool during the hellish months of July and August? I've heard of using frozen bottles of water. Any other tricks that don't involve buying a $300 or more chiller? Or do we just hope this year wont be as hot as last year? If thought...

Are there any submersible leds capable of growing plants? I know there are several different illuminated ornaments and underwater lights on the market but has anybody tried using any to grow plants? It seems like that would solve the problem of light reflecting off the waters surface. Which I...

I figured but I thought more can't hurt. But now that I built it I'm finding that I'll have to either cut the lid or leave it off because the air is messing with the outflow a little.
