I'm using a Zoo Med 511 Nano canister filter on that tank and the intake holes are already pretty small. I have some sponges I could use but I like your method better! :-)
Thanks for the info.
No problem! :-) Feel free to shoot me a PM or post on here if you have any further questions. [Reply]

A 14 gallon should give them plenty of space to hide.
Good luck w/ your RCS! Your daughter is going to love them!

Why do that when you can just get a bigger tank? :-)

I believe it's a few hundred posts. However, I think you can post the link if you have them uploaded to a photo-sharing site like photobucket. I could be wrong though. [Reply]
So, there was a mixup at a local store on a used 135 gallon tank, so they offered me a 125 with a stand for $450, brand new. Should I do it, or hold out for a Craiglist special? [Reply]

Oh, you took my comment seriously? :-) $450 for brand new is a pretty good deal.

BTW, we bought 6 RCS tonight, they're already hard at work eating algae!
Very cool! :-) ? females/? males How much did you pay for them? [Reply]
I wanted a show tank for our theater room as it is, so I was always planning on getting a big tank. Still not sold on it, considering I can get a 75g for 1/4 of the price. [Reply]
The idea of having a little eco-system to watch grow is really awesome. But I could only do it if the system was self-cleaning. I'm pretty lazy. [Reply]

No theater room is complete w/o a fish tank, (no matter the size)! :-) The same goes for a man cave. It's a shame that Gonzo won't let me get a 4th tank to put in "his" room. :-) [Reply]

My planted tank is self-cleaning. I haven't done a water change since it cycled. Water parameters are perfect. I just have to rip out some plant growth now and then. Doesn't smell, either. Recommended! [Reply]
