    got a piece of spider wood for my big tank. let it soak for 30 hours or so. ran out of patience, and screwed it to a piece of slate to keep it down.

    very good point for those that havent worked with lumber before, a 2x4 is not 2x4. that will really screw up your plans if you dont account for it.
  3. lefty o
    you tend to have to pick through the pile of 2x4's no matter where you go. as a side note, be nice and put them back on the stack when you are done finding straight ones. a powered miter saw, or an old fashioned miter box and hand saw are how you get straight cuts. find a friend with a saw, or if we knew your location, maybe someone here could help you with the cutting. as long as you draw up a plan, and figure out your dimensions, it takes very little time to do the actual cutting.

    them eyes! "oh dang look at dat fish"!!!!!

    i like your idea of more rummy nose, as they look great in larger groups.

    as mentioned above, super glue gel, a few drops for each plant, press plant and hold for 5 or 10 seconds. should be ok planting other stuff in the gravel, once they start to root they wont go anywhere.

    id not be overly concerned about the shrimp if you are adding the same type of tetra, but a quarantine is still the best bet. i relearned the need for quarantine recently, the hard way.
  8. lefty o
    scrub it clean, and if possible i would boil it just to ensure anything that may be on it is killed off.
  9. lefty o
    that looks really good. i see tetra's galore, and maybe some harlequin rasboras. so many choices.
  10. lefty o
    looks like a good start. id soak the wood first to reduce its wanting to float.
  11. lefty o
    ive thus far gotten all my co-op packages well packed, and they are shipped out quickly. now if only the usps would hold up their end of the bargain.
  12. lefty o
    it looks good.
  13. lefty o
    if you are using it on the outside, i can see no problem with it.
  14. lefty o
    very cool. ive been trying to get my red cherry's going, but it seems my cpd's have a taste for the eggs.
  15. lefty o
    i feel for you, ive given away thousands of guppy, and pleco babies. when it looks crowded, and the water parameters start going wonky, then you know you have too many.
  16. lefty o
    i think you are ok, that is until they start having babies. at that time, it will likely get out of control. all depending on how many of the fry get eaten.
  17. lefty o
    depends on the plant. some plants can stay in the little basket forever, and some will do much better out of it.
  18. lefty o
    sure do.
  19. lefty o
    i have no camera, or i would.
  20. lefty o
    i thought that was insanity?
  21. lefty o
    just pretty much gutted my 120, big water change, scrubbed algae, and moved all the plants and rocks around. hopefully it doesnt look too bad tomorrow.
  22. lefty o
    the abrupt change may have done it, but worth trying to warm it up. i remember in high school science class freezing gold fish in liquid nitrogen, and thawing them out, and they survived just fine. dont give up hope.
  23. lefty o
    "whachyou talkin' bout willis!" dont know why, but instantly i thought of gary coleman.
  24. lefty o
    id add some plants sooner rather than later, as they definately help keep a tank in balance.
  25. lefty o
    nerites are about the only thing that seem to touch green spot algae. i know it has been a while since the original post, but i would cut back some on the easy green for a while. when nutrients in the water are more than what the plants need, it seems to me that is when algae becomes problematic.
