Switching to water!

For an adult male do you guys use the 20 gallon tank or the 40 gallon breeder? i feel like 20 gallons might be a little too small now where i used to feel it was perfect. Also has anyone tried finding a Giant Waterdish lol? let me know what is a good waterdish if you find one, ive been looking for a good waterdish or tray for ages.

A lot of it will depend on the actual size of your adult male. But, if you have the 40 gallon breeder, go for it. Make it roomy.

As far as a water dish, something like this makes a nice water dish: http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-2951-2951-AR-BISQUE-Dishpan/dp/B0000DINAX/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320388977&sr=8-1-fkmr0

full grown male 7 or 8 inches very fat and sloppy. I dont know if he would fit in that one.

There's a bunch of bigger ones as well. Amazon.com: Sterilite® White 12 Qt. Dishpan 15 5/8"L x 12 3/8"W x 6: Home Improvement
Eight inches of fat and sloppy is going to have to get out of his water dish, too.

thanks, im gonna see if the grocery story or tupperware store has like a Giant Rubbermaid Dish or Tray, i like ones that are low to the ground but wide. I wish those ones at Petco that take up the corner of the tank werent so expensive.

For anyone considering a canister filter i wouldnt recommend zoomed. Mine broke after 5 days. Cs was amazing and i already have replacement parts shipping my way. So i do give them credit for that. But the backward filtering system these things use still have me questioning.

Now you got me scared lol

I just picked up a 511. It seems completely different from the 501 so I'm hoping this one is built a little tougher. What broke on yours? Also, all the 501's by me had two spray bars in the package and no intake tube? It had a spray bar, and then another one they wanted you to use as the intake? Was yours like this as well, or did they just have the wrong parts in them? I bought the 501 first, but had to take it back because of that reason. All of the 511's had the right parts so I just went with that one.
