Clown loaches come to mind as the first suggestion.

According to his post, the primary reason was because he was tired of cleaning his gravel. Switching to just a UGF would make it so ALL the crap in the tank went into the gravel, none of it would be sucked into a filter. IMO, that would be making it worse. Most of the tanks I've seen with UGFs looked like they used a substrate of mud with a thin layer of gravel at the top.

I prefer digital ones. But, not sure where to get them, I don't think Dick Smith has them anymore.
-
Ok, just tested some fresh seawater. Came out as 100ppm, definitely looks like a bad test kit.
-
My few bits of info...They like fairly neutral PH, relatively cool, I'd guess around 20ish? And heaps and heaps of current and oxygenation. They're mountain stream fish, hence one of their other names, hillstream loaches.
-
Just corrected the thread name in case someone wants to search for bristle noses in the future... (Ok, it's really because it being "Brestle Noses" was getting on my nerves, but that's not a good enough reason. :lol: )
-
You definitely have to go on the behind the scenes tour, it's easily worth the extra few bucks. I got bit by a trigger when feeding it though.
-
Yeah, true, I'm sure I'll use it somehow. Ok, put me down for a 200L.
-
Hmmm...Gimme some time to figure out a way to convince myself I'd actually use the 200L one.
-
You could grab an inexpensive powerhead and use it as a booster pump. SOmething like a Via Aqua VA1300 is pretty cheap and would be working at a negative head so you should get good a little better than either the powerhead or cannister are rated at.
-
How much are you selling them for? (NO! Bad Ira! your tanks are all too crowded already!)
-
Wow...That's what I call starting big.
-
Huh? How'd I get into this?
-
I'm kinda surprised your jewel killed the betta. Mine are very placid, only getting a bit territorial with other jewels.
-
As far as FW fish in the same tank with the tinfoil barbs there's some big silver sharks, if I remember right, a huge pictus? and a handful of other big fish. They also have a heap of redspot and common plecos along with rainbows in with an alligator.
-
What's $40...About 3 hours work?
-
Yeah, pretty much a universal rule. If it can swallow the other fish, it will.
-
Just get some pipe cleaners. I bought a set of 3-4 different ones at a fish store, it's good.
-
Two or three fish for me, please.
-
That's why they have thermostats. Assuming everything worked correctly you could put a 10,000 watt heater in the tank and be fine. (Of course, in reality that wouldn't be advisable) :lol:
-
Just wipe it off. A lot of plastic bits seem to develop slime on them at first. DUnno why. For me it's usually the suction cups.
-
I do have snails, shrimp, tubeworms, a crab and a handfull of polyp thingies in the tank...But I can't make it out to get more water until next weekend.
-
They're probably not allowed to sell them, only allowed to destroy them or some stupid thing like that.
