tiger barb maybe... lol

they are fiji rocks... said so on the label... but i thin the hole was drilled.. which is fine with me... lol

oh and the rocks with the holes: i got them because they were cured and 9.99 per rock instead of like 7$ a pound like the other LR they had... and since i weighed them and they came out to 2.5-3 lbs each i figured it was a better deal + they were cured

i really just put it in there because my room is soooo cold the temps were scaring me... it was at 69-70 and now with that its at like 73-74... and i figure the lights will affect the temp too... so depending on what happens when i setup the lights ill prolly only plug it in at night when the...

threw the bag out last night... but it was the livesand they sell at petco (i know i know, but the LFS was closed... i prolly paid waaayyy too much for not the best stuff) came with a little water in the bag and 10lbs of sand..

nm didnt see your post above... ill try a LFS that isnt petco or petsmart lol.. how long can i keep salt or RO/DI water in bottles or a bucket? i have lots of space under my bed (but thats about hte only place) and i could prolly keep like 30 gallons there easy...

well what do you suggest then? deionized drinking water? the tank has been up a day or so and already i can see minor evaporation cuz i have no lid... any ideas?

i gues it seems to be a theme here to have a "diary" or journal of your nano as you dow ork on it... and seeing as i just added the water, LS, LR last night i guess this will be the start...

aahhhh aquaclear i have because of my freshwater tank.... and tons of it.. (i used to have oscars so i did a water change like once a week)

well my room is really cold.. so i got a very very very small flat heater pad thing made for water... so it raised it about 1-2 degrees... once the lights are on it should raise a little more.. where can i get water like that? DI=deionoized? think i could use deionized drinking water then?

good to hear im not a complete idiot.... also glad to see that 4 years of an engineering/science/technology magnet in my high school didnt go to waste completely....

hehe well if u managed to read down to the bottom of page 1... its setup.. im waiting on my lights to come frome ebay and i need to make a glass/plexiglass lid of some sort because i know the lights cant sit directly above the water... right now im using plastic wrap over it just to keep the...

the tank is hovering around 70 degrees F right now... supposed to be like 83 right? guess im borrowing a heater....

UPDATE so i went and got about 10 pounds of LS and 7.5 pounds of cured Fiji LR and put it in the tank with a 160gph filter circulating it (took the filter out and put in a sponge to catch the loose sand also put some small LR into the chamber) right now its running with no light, no lid, and...

how did that work out? do the PCs charge the batteries and keep it going? let us know... edit: also if you can tell us where we can find one.. that seems like it might cost a little more than making one from scratch, but its setup already and it recharges itself, etc...

ive been inspired by your DIY... but is there any way you can post a drawing or more detailed pics about how it works exactly? i think i have it right in my head i just want to make sure before i build it and find out i missed a key element... the large hose that is level with the water...

imteresting about the kidneys... the vet they talked to said sometimes the bird will get depressed if we take the eggs out before she realizes they are dead... so he said leave them in until she stops sitting on them, worked last year when she did this so hopefully itll work again...

ditto... definately something id like to try...

dude... like a turkey baster... that you use when cooking a turkey... its a long tube witha rubber bulb on the end... you squeeze and release and it sucks water, then you squeeze and it shoots out...

they have had birds since before i was born... this is our third tiel in my lifetime(the other two actually caught a cold and died from going outside), both the others hated me and loved everyone else... not only are they sweet to her, but they feed her treats when appropriate, talk to her...
