  1. when growing up my parents had 5 boxers over the years. i love boxers, such charactors. they have 3 now. one was a rescued one from someone that was neglecting him. one day i will get one. need a bigger yard first
  2. I think you need way more lighting. if you get the plants growing well you wont have to worry about algae because the plants will use up the nutrients. i dont think the 4 hour plus 2 hour break on the lighting is a good idea. it doesnt sound very natural. i think it would probably be better doing 8 hours in one go. i have a 250l planted tank with 108w fluros running 12 hrs and i dose with PMDD every few days, and im throwing out clippings every week. not a spot of algae growing!
  3. thanks!!! i was trying to figure it out and it magically appeared....by someone else lol what did i do wrong?
  4. I think that maybe they can see there reflection and think its another fish? they are like "man thats a hot looking fish...i want some of that :P"
  5. I have heard that a UV filter will oxidize iron...Fe+2 --> Fe+3, not too good for plant growth.
  6. i had some clown loaches in my tank for a week and they didnt show any interest in eating the snails. so i crushed some to "teach" them what to do...2 weeks later and theres no sign of snails.
  7. to fiddle with the router settings type 192.168.1.1 into your internet explorer

    Killer Killies

    since putting 6 killies into my community tank i have had 4 guppies swimming around with chunks taken out of there tails i even witnessed a killi try to take on a bristlenose catfish that was 4-5 times its size. the killi latched onto the catfishes tail. didnt do any damage but it looked funny. maybe i should feed them :roll:
