Guys no mean to interrupt here, but does anyone know if WASA treats our water with chlorine or chloramine. I emailed them for the longest while and havent got a reply, i usually use a dechlorinator but it would be needless expense if i could just wait 48 hours for my water changes.

besides chlorine and chloramine, there are tons of other dissolved solids in tap water that we get. It may be ok to use it in the short run but keep yr eye on getting a rodi. I used tap water with a dechlorinator in the begining and had some algae issues.

It may work for a fish only for a while, definitely dont use with coral.

[sharkman121]

Something I got in Chai's last weekend. I don't think I'll use him to breed, he looks like a finished product and too many mixed genes to deal with. I got him cuz he's purdy

Oh, I also had 4 deaths in the last three weeks. All were fighters in those small aquariums.
They weren't new fish either. I'll have to blame the water. I just let the water age and air out before I use it, and I change the water in each container sometimes twice a week according to the condition. I don't entirely change, I replace about 40-50%.
I'm guessing the bigger aquariums are safe because of the flora.

Soooooo I'm lookin at a ro/di unit now. I'm sure it was mentioned before, but should I look locally? or get something suggested in the last two pages?

Here's my only betta....he kinda sick these days, belly looks swollen and he jus sits around.

Anyhow, where can I get a 4 foot aquarium made for less than $600?

[sharkman121]

^ yr jus out of luck, i sold one less than two weeks ago for $500.

[ryan99tt]

[ARES0610]

rossi, check delta glass in aranguez...ah 6ft does cost me bout $725 but i believe i cud get it cheaper there...

That sounding cheap though. What dimensions and glass thickness?

[sharkman121]

my 5ft cost me over $2000 with 3/8 inch glass

rossi, check delta glass in aranguez...ah 6ft does cost me bout $725 but i believe i cud get it cheaper there...

That sounding cheap though. What dimensions and glass thickness?

was going to ask the same question. that glass real thin?

[rossi]

so what's the safest thickness for a 4 foot tank?

[sharkman121]

1/4 inch should be fine for a 4 ft.

anything bigger should be 3/8inch then 1/2 inch

[HondaB20B]

1/4 inch should be fine for a 4 ft.

anything bigger should be 3/8inch then 1/2 inch

i believe it also depends on the height and width also

[rossi]

So I'm torn between putting 3 Oscars OR many neon zebras in the 4 feet.
What kind of fish can live with the zebras?

[HondaB20B]

put in a bunch of neon tetras................. like about 15=20, some zebras, and some of the semi-aggressive barbs. ah nice big piece of driftwood with alot of large live plants

[rossi]

Ok great....I know where I can find the driftwood. Is it necessary to put in live plants or any plastic ones will do?

what kind of power filter would you recommend?

[HondaB20B]

live plants is the beauty boss. dont put goldfish or other fish that will dig up the sand. make it real.......... like how a riverbed will look. dont go putting no castle and ship and treasure chest or other crap. put schooling fish. buy 1 or 2 hang-on filters that can take the load

[sharkman121]

lol @ castle an treasure chest..

rossi a tetra power filter 60 would fit nicely there, i used it on my 4ft and it works great.

U can get one at Wazir in aranguez...i have the phone number there somewhere.

[HondaB20B]

yeah, castle, shipwreck, treasure chest, d clam and d all time best is d deep sea diver...........
thats kids stuff..................................

[heavy rollers]

For real....... keep it natural and no fluorescent coloured gravel either.

[HondaB20B]

For real....... keep it natural and no fluorescent coloured gravel either.
