    Problem with worms

    Matt, Many well advanced breeders from NorthJerseyAquariumSociety buy worms from this place on weekly basis. Great success so far. I feed all my other fish without any problems and I get successful spawns. Again, I don't get this reaction in any other tank but this one. :roll:

    Problem with worms

    Matt, I will take picture of those worms in worm container. Those are blackworms, I'm 100% sure. They do form a writhing ball in the container but I chop them into small pieces so they look differently on the picture. Plus white balance is not the best so picture is little off color.

    Looking for good space heater. Room is 10x10 so there is no need for heavy duty equipment. Was told that ceramic heaters w/ controller on cord are good. Any ideas ?

    Low-tech fishroom - comments ?

    Thanks Matt. I guess this will be my last question. I decided to build 8ft x 2ft rack in case I want to place my tanks side way. Question: If I place tanks long way then they are not going to "rest" on 2x4 but rather in the "middle" of plywood. What are your thoughts on that ? Is...

    Low-tech fishroom - comments ?

    Few more questions. The final count is 3 - 29G (use of HOB as filtration) 5 - 10G (use of HOB or sponges for breeding pairs) 6 - 5G (use of sponges for fry) Question: Should I just skip PVC and bigger air blower since I will be using sponges in ~10 tanks and go with ganged valves w/...

    Question related to planting tanks already in their cycle...

    M0on, I can finally give something back for fishroom tips. First off planted tanks and especially heavy planted tanks w/ high tech equipment are another separate beast. You would be surprised how many people with years of experience with fish, fish breeding and overall aquatic knowledge...
