    Panic stations+complete rebuild!

    Incysor, You are lucky your wife is into the hobby like you. My wife loves staring at the fish, feeding them and talking to them. And she even places ice in ziplocks to lower the temps when it gets hot. But when ever I come home with a new edition, she says how much and frowns. She...

    CPR Aquatics 6 gallon tank....

    I'll take your positive criticism, but I sold my 3.5 to my co-worker who just wants guppies for his daughter. I sold the tank and filter for $40.00 and light. So I keep all the inside and transfer it over to my new tank. So I'm not actually starting new at all. Regarding mom, my ENTIRE...
