I was recently contacted by a Canadian company that will remain nameless, and their proposed prices weren't any better without involving aquabid:

"Currently, we have 7 of 1" to 1.5" selling for a group at US$2100 (CDN$2400). We also have 7 of 0.75" to 1" will go for a group as well at US$1400 ...

My loach doesn't seem to be able to eat MTS. I think they have a mich more solid shell than other snails. My electric blue crayfish snacks on them, but he's got all those arms and legs to get to the good stuff. He's also in his own private tank.

I've got a couple tanks that are just loaded with MTS ...

I'm assuming then that you don't have a masssive fish room....

Oh yeah, another thing i forgot to ask...

I have read many posts with people referring to their tap water usually having a high ppm (300-400). Is this number from an aquarium test kit (and really hard water) or is that from using a digital PPM meter/pen?

Any help is appreciated!

I've been fortunate that since I got into the freshwater aquarium/plants/breeding hobby 4 years ago I've stayed living in the same place. The time had now come for me to move. Fortunately I'm only going 2km south from where I am now and the water is the same. I'm going to be moving 7 aquariums ...

The tank and new stand have been up and running since the end of May with no issues. The 55g is a future pleco breeding site. It's been used as a growout tank to load the filter since it was setup in May.

On another forum some people asked of the cost of this stand. Due to my own poor choices as to ...

I splashed some water on the stand a couple days after doing the first coat of deck treatment and the water just beaded right up for very easy cleanup. I decided any additional coats wern't necesary.

I just moved the stand into my room (May 17, 2006) and put the 55G on it. I'm going to paint the ...

And a rear view:

I was going to have additional horizontal pieces like a U-frame on the inside (try to see original drawings above), but thoise pieces of 2x6 had a nice twist to them. Someone on another forum suggested ...

BTW, here's what I used to stain the stand. Initially I took the advide of the Home Depot person and bought over $100 worth of precoat, varnish, stain, etc.... Then I came to my senses and returned it all and picked up a bucket of deck stain for $20. I have enough left to do 10 more stands and one ...

Below you'll find the plans and some of the step-by-step process I used to construct my stand for my 55G tank (which is in my bedroom closet). I deliberately made the bottom shelf witha lot of room so I can eventually put 2x 29G tanks or a large custom tank there. These plans can be altered to any ...

lol.... actually, I got ahoy-hoy from Mr.Burns on the Simpsons. It's howhe answers the phone.....

greetings all. As you can see by my name, I'm Colin and I live in BC, Canada . My handle is pretty much the same on all forums, so some of you may recognize me (in a manner of speaking). I live in Langley which is about 40 km from Vancouver and 15km from the BC/Washington Border.

I've been in the ...
