tank

Hi guys, new MFK member here. Just wanted to see your thoughts. I have a 9 inch Salton Catfish right now, and im thinking of making a new home for him and some other fish. Would a 2000 gallon tank be too big for him? Is it Bad if a fish has too much space? FYI, with him i might put some other...

Hello All, I have built a fish tank of my own of size 24x12x18 Inch. Now for some reason, I have miscalculated the height of tank to 18 Inch instead of 15 Inch. I have some space issue for the height to accommodate the tank and looking to cut the height to 15 from 18 inch. So could you please...

Hello all! I am Keen and I have been a turtle keeper for going on 5 years now. I have a Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) who has a roughly 6" carapace. He enjoys long walks on the beach and burrowing down in the sand to talk about his day. His name is Adamantoise, or just Adam for...

Need advice please! I was drilling a 2” hole today, chipped out at the very end. :( Hole is 4” from top 4” from side of back glass... should I trash this tank? Or is it repairable? I see no cracks radiating from hole, just scalloping. Marineland 120 XH, 12mm glass thickness. Thank you!

Hey guys, So I managed to snag a 125 gal tank with a crack in the back panel for $50 USD. It's in great condition aside from the crack. My original plan was to use the front and side panels for a plywood tank I was building but looking at it made me curious... Would it be reasonable to remove...

Time to clear it out. I’m a big fan of eheim canisters. I’ve got an XL that runs my 240g and can do it solo with only a small weekly WC. They are easy to service. Eheim 2217 - up to 159 g. 264 gph flow. 8”x8”x16”. $30 Eheim 2213 - up to 55 g. 116 gph. $25 Eheim Ecco 2232 - up to 35 g. 132...

Hi all Want to know would a 5X3X2ft tank be fine for a marbled lungfish for life? Might be able to make it 4ft front to back.... Not only in regards to maintaing water quality but also to allow the fish to move around properly ect... I know these guys get up to 6ft in the wild but...

Hello, I am having trouble with my jardini arowana. He keeps hitting the glass of his aquarium too much, he has bruises all over his body. He is 30 cm, and his tank is 3X1X1,5 meters. He is alone in the tank, and he eats well. Is it possible to have too big of a tank?

So I really need to look at new fish tanks in order to support my current stock, which consists of potential giants (CK, pbass, pleco, black ear pangasius). In order to have more-I have too much already-I need a tank of 300 gallons or more. Where can I get a good deal on a tank that size? Most...

Hello, I once again have more questions. I was wondering why black piranhas get bumps on their chins and why these bumps sometimes turn white. I was also wondering if you guys think I'd be happier with a black piranha in the long run. I have never owned any pygos or serras, so I do not know...

Hi everyone. New to this site so appoligise if i put this in the wrong area etc. Seems abit confusing to me I was wondering if someone could help me with stocking. I beleive it it quite heavily over stocked now ( will be in the future) I have 8 silver dollars, 1 silver arowana, 1 SB...

Hello, I am here because I have a question. I was wondering how big black piranhas get when raised from a juvenile in a tank. Now, I've heard tank raised black piranhas only reach 12 inches, I've also heard people say that they reach 16 inches when tank raised. Also, are black piranhas better...

New to the forum guys. Would love some frienldy advice on my new tank setup. Have had my 3" RD flowerhorn in a 70Ltr tank for a while. Cichlids are pretty hardy so never took too much notice of water parameters (i know.. i know..) Always did bi weekly water changes and checked my pH tho...

i feel bad turning this tank into a sump for the next build. Before I start drilling holes for 2" bulkheads in the side, I thought is should see if any local MFK'ers want to use it as a tank in trade for a sump of similar size (larger preferred, won't consider smaller) for tank or sump that is...

Hello, I want to ask an experienced shark keeper about filtration a water changes in my future dream tank. Pool size: 50 x 17 x 4 foot. About 20.000 gal 2 or 3 Black tip sharks only. On the Youtube is movie called "David's Shark pool at King Car Aquarium" and it is close to my dream. Means...

Is it possible to house a jag, two oscars and two green terrors in a nearly 8ft 600L tank with 1000L of filtration and using dividers at first to lower aggression? I've heard you can have an oscar in a 75g and then for every other oscar you only need an extra 30g with good filtration and...

Hey all. I've been driving myself nuts thinking about it. I want to upgrade my 90 gallon to something around 6-7' long and the fiance agrees that he wants something shiny. I would prefer an acrylic tank so we don't have to pay people to help move a heavy glass thing. We just barely were able to...
