OK. So we know what everyone looks like and what everyone does for a living. This thread will be about your pets.

I have two dogs, Bailey and Kayla. Here is a recent pic of them. Don't make fun of Bailey's shirt, he had an allergic reaction to some shampoo and needs to wear it until he stops itching at it.

For those of you interested: I have added 15 photos of my salt water tank stand, tank, etc. . . There are no fish in yet while i wait for the live rock to finish curing. After looking through these photos you will find out that i am NOT a professional carpenter! (Please don't stab at me too much for the looks of the stand) please enjoy the pictures and feel free to comment/question.

I have 2 dogs. One is part lab.

The other is what I consider to be the best dog combination:
1/2 Beagle
1/2 Chawawa

It has pointed ears like a Chawawa, but pretty eyes like a Beagle.

hmm. . forgive my ignorance but isn't the point of having an under-gravel filter to have circulation (suction) of the water out of the bottom, into a filter, and then back into the tank? Thus creating a nice current of water, down through the gravel and mesh/screen (sucking down the particles of waste) which is then sucked up into the filter?

From your pictures I'm a little confused why you installed an under-gravel filter but did not provide any form of circulating the water and drawing sediment into the filter?

Of course my understanding is probably pretty off, if you have time, please educate me.

Thanks..

I have a cat named zip who does nothing but lounge around. She contributes nothing to my household and I would like to kick her out on her ass.

i know i didn't get many pictures of what i was putting on the bottom till i threw some sand on it and i wish i had. it's not an under-sand filter. it's pvc pipes, fan grate, and bug screen. here's how it works and a "Salt Water Setup Diagram" is linked from my Fish Page [geocities.com] (would have been attached, but i got an error of (sw-setup.jpg: Exceeds forum quota by 64.71 MB.):

A thick layer of sand, suspended above the aquarium bottom by a porous platform (a bug screen covering a fan grate resting on 1" pvc pipes), allowing the accumulation of anoxic water (low oxygen) in the plenum space underneath, is the most important feature. Small organisms present in the sand help to process waste materials, and denitrifying bacteria thrive in the low oxygen conditions at the bottom of the sand bed. Dissolution of calcareous sand returns important ions to the water.

Mainly, it's a natural under-sand filter mimicing the sea creating a low O2 level (where the bacterial waste removers thrive) under the sand helping the waste material to decompose faster going through the natural cycle of what it does in the ocean. so i'm making two environments, one environment for live rock and fish in the main or upper portion, and the 2-4" of sand is ideal for the bacterial waste removers. instead of using an under-sand filter, i've made a "natural" one.

always happy to talk about fish tanks! Big Grin

the links were working ok for me in ie, but then i know not everyone uses ie so i made a change to them, let me know if they're still messed up! thanks.

Look on www.petfinder.com rather than buying one.. it's better to adopt than to support breeding and animal farms.
