Here are a few pics from the photobucket album I setup to show off my 125 gallon river tank fish. Hope you like them. http://s438.photobucket.com/albums/qq103/oilhands/Loach%20River%20Tank/Close%20Ups%20-%20Fish/ http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq103/oilhands/Loach%20River%20Tank/Close%20Ups%20-%...

Hi Oil, Is your original video markedly better than this "Higher Quality" Yes, I have proofed both videos in fullscreen, and the .avi-file on my harddisk is better (I'm not sure if I would say markedly) but of course also very big. Thanks for checking. So, we now know that the videos we have been p...

I just checked your River-Tank video again oilhands and there is an increase in quality when you choose that option. Martin. Yes, you are correct, sir. I guess I wasn't clear. I meant the difference between my version of the video on my machine (unprocessed by youtube) and the version when I click ...

Also, nice videos and nice fish. Post more.

Video degrading on you tube is something I noticed when I post my own video. Then I noticed the "Play in Higher Quality" link under the video on the right hand side. Is your original video markedly better than this "Higher Quality" version? Just wondering because I couldn't see a difference with my ...

Thanks. Two different kinds of vallisneria: Giant and Crystal. I harvested a bunch of both from my "farm" tank the other day. It looks real nice so far. I hope to post an update soon.

Looks like 10 pounds of clown in a 5 pound clown pound.

I changed my setup this weekend, but here is a video of it before I added more plants. I'll add a new video once I get a chance.

Just started fooling around with my new camera. I hope to use it to capture many more pictures of these beauties. http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq103/oilhands/Loach%20River%20Tank/Close%20Ups%20-%20Fish/IMG_0045.jpg http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq103/oilhands/Loach%20River%20Tank/Close%20...

Thanks. Actually, that is my cousin and fish mentor Tom. He has really helped me out a lot on my various projects. He's been doing this for almost 30 years and his advice has always been helpful.

Thank you. My brother-in-law and Bill (a friend of the family) tag teamed on the painting part of the project. They did a great job and they did it in a single evening.

just one question, I am new at this I noticed you put gravel on what I think is a home made UGF, then put sand over the top is that a way you can use a UGF with sand? oh and it looks beautiful good job :) Nope. This is not an UGF. This is a River Tank mainfold which is based upon Martin Thoene's de...

I'm finally getting my new 125 river tank setup. Picked up the tank, stand, and filter for $200 (36" compact fluorescents went on my existing planted tank) a few months back. Here are some pics of the setup and fill. The background is painted on 1/4" plywood which covers the hole where the fireplace...

Damn. That is too bad. I lost a few a couple weeks back it always sucks. Hope things turn around.

Thank you for your thoughts. I do not know what an "LFS" is-But I bet it is good! I did call Aquarium Aventures this a.m. The freshwater consultant there was rather puzzled also. Only suggested turning off the light, antibiotic tablets in the water in case of a parasite(nothing to the naked eye) & ...
