Hey all!

I have a few things to discuss about fish nutrition, and things to look for when buying fish food. I will comment about some Sera items, but I want to give some basic information that I...

Haha. The giveaway is from Sera. It is kind of a shrimp package: food, minerals, alder cones, almond leaves, filter media, etc.

What kind of substrate are you using? Any chance it is Amazonia?

I recently spoke to Tom Lam, who is the President/Ceo(?) of Felix (and also ran Biopod). They are at a point where they have several prototypes, but are just nailing down some of the manufacturing...

Tongs in Fountain Valley. They have some nice high-end bettas.

This sounds stupid, but water tests? It's always my go to...

If the fish look good, but die (or act listless) - then I would think it was the water.

Yes, but it didn't answer the question about livestock. It says to bring fish. Does that mean that fish are required, or that you will be judged down if you don't have any?

Is there any more in-depth rules for judging. Are live fish/shrimp required? Would livestock raise the score? if so, is there any access to heaters? Will water be provided?

I am considering this...

Stick your tongue in the water and wait for a shock?

There is currently a bird virus going around the area, and all live birds had to be cancelled within the last month. The same thing happened with horses last year. Unfortunately, we are all limited...

There are a few rules about selling items. Clubs that get free booths are not allowed to sell - unless they pay a fee. Also, many manufacturers (Tetra, Hikari, etc.) don't want to sell because they...

I want to thank everyone that came out to the Pet Expo last weekend. SCAPE brings a lot to the show, and we love having everyone there!!!

Kelsie,

Thank you for taking part in the aquascaping competition at the Pet Expo!!! This was an amazing setup at the show, and it is extra-special if it was your first. I would love to watch you...

Aqua Forest is awesome, but it is all the way up in San Fran. If you head here, then also check out 6th Ave Aquarium - it is an experience.

Neptune Aquatics - San Jose
Aquarium Depot - Citrus...

FYI - not related to SCAPE, but we could use some volunteers at show site on Tuesday and Wednesday to set up/fill the Pet Expo display tanks. We are a bit short staffed this year, and could use the...

Looks like I am available for Saturday. It is my last chance to talk people into signing up for the Pet Expo aquascaping!

I don't have a "best dish," but I will bring some leftover alcohol from...

Hello all!!! The deadline for the Pet Expo Aquascaping Contest was last Friday. I am extending it through this weekend. We still have 3 spaces open, and we would love to fill this thing.

Here is...

What's with people on here paying bills? It is obvious that you are not giving enough attention to your aquatic hobby/addiction.

Talk to me about your proposed filter. Are you going to drain down to a sump, or are you going to try a canister filter in there. Also, how is your return going to work - locline up high or low???

Still have some open spots in the Aquascaping Competition at the Pet Expo!!!

I know that everyone got paid last Friday, so it should be a good time to sign up!

For anyone following this part of the thread: the tank backs are white and the bottoms are clear.

I want to confirm that we currently have 6 entrants into this year's aquascaping contest at the Pet Expo. That means that we still have room for 6 more people! Don't miss out this year, as the tank...

We do have problems offering refunds. However, we can transfer a registration to another person. In general, we want to be as accommodating as possible!

Nick, I am 98% sure that the bottoms are clear. However, I believe that the back panel is white. The Lights shouldn't obstruct too much more than the ones from previous years. Though, I believe that...

The tank is set up live, so that everyone can start from the same level. The cool thing is that this allows the Pet Expo attendees to watch the process. Interacting with these attendees gives a great...

Did I mention that the contest comes with free access to the Pet Expo and includes a parking pass?

Cost is $120. It includes a Fluval Flora 14.5G kit, which is roughly around a $200 value. The top 3 prizes win cash $$$, and there are only 12 entries available. Those odds are not too bad. You must...

Hello all!

The Pet Expo aquascaping competition has been posted to the show website. We have expanded to 12 tanks, but there are currently only 9 positions left open. Fluval has graciously...

I agree that I looks like a red devil/severum cross. Interesting..

Haha. I feel that we have hijacked bonsainut's thread about seed talk. IMO, the tank looks awesome.

I think that the someone's feelings about the seeds really depend on your motivation to...
