The last option, and the option that I am thinking of using, is to cut the pipe at an angle and use the weld-on solvent to glue it back together to get a corner of around 100 or 110 degrees (so the angle is not so sharp for the fish) to go down into the tanks on each end. With this method, along wi...

Those frontosas are big fish, but very nice. I would like to (somewhere in the distant future) keep Tropheus, but that would have to be in a 200+ gallon tank so I can keep a decent group. I've been keeping fish for 40+ years and Africans and Clown loaches are two I have never kept. I was torn betwe...

Gary- That ain't a bad idea at all. Very clever and it hadn't crossed my mind doing it that way. You could probably make elbows that way too. The loaches would like that 100x more than clear pipe all the way around. We gave up on elbows quick. I guess you could make "windows" out of flat stuff, but...

Have you though about the water-bridge design much? Lately, I've been thinking about a new water-bridge design that would be more loach friendly and bigger so that large fish could swim through it easily. The challenge in this design is making it waterproof and airtight. With the acrylic waterbridg...

That the Cichlid forums are not as personal is logical when you realize the number of species of Cichlids that are known (a minimum of 1300, but could be 1900!). That's also why I doubt that there are enough interested and specialized folk for dedicated websites. Plus, I think there is a difference...

The guy at the store told me that all the shipments come in with copper in their water and he runs a little bit of salt in all the FW tanks.
I don't get the reasoning for having copper in the water? Anyone know why?

Since that is live sand do I have to store it with some water? Or since I have already used it should I just store it and let it dry (and how would I do that?)? Pool filter sand? That a good substrate for loaches? I will have to see where I can get that... then figure out how to get all that sand o...

Modest Mouse does some great stuff and has been involved with many of the songs listed here. Went to a concert with my son back in May, was in the mosh area. Even though I was three times older than all the rest of the people and didn't have any weapon I still can hang. Those young guys run out of ...

I listened to Radiohead all day today. Anyone heard of Modest Mouse?
