check that on the skimmer attachment- eheim's is a surface skimmer, not a protein skimmer, and from a quick search on the topic, this is not a trivial difference. i'm not too sure it will work for me.

hm, interesting stuff. although i can't read german, i do not have anything like what i see in those pictures. it is not oil, because it does break apart and stays that way, so that's good to know. who wants an oil slick on their aquarium ?! anyway, i guess my main two concerns were that it was some...

This is a recent development in a tank that has seen no significant changes in several years. It is a planted 75 gal w/ 3 clowns and 3 albino plecos, one bank of T5 lighting. In the last 3 weeks or so there's been a protein? oily? unknown?? film on the surface of the water, not thick by any means, b...

I've had my clowns 22 years in my current home, moved them from a house I rented for 2 years, and to there I moved them from another house I lived in for 5 years - I can't remember exactly when I got them while living in that first house, so they are at least 24 + however long I had them in the firs...

that's the best kind of update. beautiful picture of a beautiful clown! well done

Do you have two independent thermometers in the tank to verify water temperature? Does that heater you have there have a minimum water level mark and is it submerged in water to that mark? Probably these are stupid questions, but the only time I ever had a fish jump out it was water temperature, and...

These places have housewives and teenagers that dont know anything about fish! ? :shock: ... uh, nevermind ...

those don't look like bite marks? I'm no expert... did you see them biting on the side of that fish like that?

hmmm... boy I bet that'd be some work removing all the gravel and putting sand in my 75'er! I shudder just to think about it!!!
does that pool filter sand some in different colors by the way...?

Pretty!!!
Jealous am I!!! Never see them locally around here unfortunately...

I don't have sand in my tank, but I always thought it would be nice... I'm just wondering, are you able to vacuum the substrate like you can with gravel?

I saw something like that come and go (wasn't there for more than a few days I think) on one of my loaches once, for whatever that might be worth...

Wow- fantastic!
Thanks for posting this- I don't think I would've even tried to do such a thing before seeing this post! It is good to know that such a thing is even possible! You must've done everything just right! Congrats

I just had a really bad scare, too. Two of my kubotai got out of their tank and were crawling all around on the kitchen floor with their pectoral fins. I was busy with my kids, so I kept telling everyone not to step on them. When I finally got the time to catch them, I could only find one. whoa you...
