  1. The cheapest one would be best suited as it sounds like light is not particularly important in your setup.
  2. Airsoft guns fire small, light, relatively harmless little plastic bbs.

    Scarlet Pleco

    Hmmm, Might see about grabbing one...
  4. But if the solenoids are cheap you can afford to buy a handful of them. What are they triggered by? 240v or 12v?

    Scarlet Pleco

    My understanding was that they were pretty much identical to common plecs, just with red fins. I would like one. Hutt Pets had a tank that said scarlet pleco on it, but didn't appear to have a scarlet pleco in the tank.
  6. And you only get as much cycling bacteria as you have food to feed it. Once you have enough surface area for your bioload increasing efficiency or available surface area is just wasting time and money by giving the bacteria more elbow room. (Flagella room?)
  7. 20.85 millimeters according to my digital caliper. Tear the built in filter out, it will be useless with a good filter installed.
  8. I think you'd be way better off with the CF1200 than the Eheim 2213. It's rated at almost triple the flow of the 2213, the 2213 is more for tanks about half the size of yours.

    20 Questions game

    So far it's scoring 1 out of 4. Missed Jewel Staite, Anna Paquin and Burt Rutan but got Chuck Yeager

    Hah, It got Jewel Staite wrong, guessed Peta Wilson.
  11. Could do with a couple more cross braces for lateral forces in case of an earthquake, but other than that should be ok.
  12. those poofy shower scrubby things should work well too.
  13. Everyone uses it all the time in hundreds of thousands of tanks around the world.
  14. I've heard they don't taste very good and are really bony. But other types of carp are eaten in places. Maybe you could make a fish stew or something with them. And how do koi look like gross goldfish? Goldfish are the koi's mutant inbred appalachian hick cousins. If anything koi are supermodels in comparison.
  15. You use the pvc plumbing glue stuff. I don't know the proper name for it, it's in the plumbing section of any hardware store. Just let it set for a few hours before putting it into use.
  16. There's a huge amount you need to do to put it in the tank. Step 1: Open tank lid. Step 2: Insert pot. Done.
  17. :-? Mmfffm mmfff mufff mffflll mmf! That's speaking with my lips closed so you can't see my teeth
  18. That would be a good idea. Something like 99% of the bacteria in the tank is on surfaces anyway, transferring the water is really more of a matter of keeping PH kh etc the same to decrease stress from that than to do with the cycle.
  19. Awww, doesn't have my house on it. Does have my work though.
  20. Unless you know of any males that lay eggs...That pretty much tends to be the definitive trait of females.
  21. Interesting...I had 4 wisdom teeth out when I was something like 15. Under general anesthetic. I didn't have any pain at all after the second day. (Except when I'd bite something wrong or whatever)
  22. How big is it? I could get you to upload it somewhere.
  23. Hahaha, What gave you the impression they were bottom dwellers? Just like all gouramis they tend to hang around the surface where the air is, just like puffadragon says. They'll visit the bottom occasionally, but hang out mostly at the surface.

    OMG!!!

    Also depends on what they're supplied power from. LEDs of course are 3-4 voltish DC, so it might just be a matter of using a differe wall wart to power them.
  25. Yup, remove the dead fluffy ones so they don't effect the survivors.
