GAL

Question: How many gal of gas should each vehicle use if he wants to travel as far as possible what is the max no of mi? Sherwin owns a car and a van. He has at most 20 gal of gasoline to be used between the car and the van. The car's tank holds at most 10 gal and the van holds 15 gal. The mileage of te car is 80 mpg and the van for 100 mpg. How many gallons of gasoline should each vehicle use if Sherwin wants to travel as far as possible? What is the maximum no of miles?

Answer: Sherwin wants to travel as far as possible. Now if he is travelling from home and back he can use both the vehicles and also refill the tank. So he will use the van and all the gasoline and travel 2000 mi. But if he is going on a long trip he can use only one vehicle and one tankful so he will again use the van and travel 1500 mi

Question: What a simple gal see in a guy except his personality, physique, money and good looking? Tell an incident where a gal notices something unique, rarely seen quality in a guy and wants to make friendship with him.

Answer: Invest in your love and to be happy. Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude. When you make a commitment to a relationship, you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.

Question: How much electricity does a 20 gal tank use? My electricity bill is already high, but not from this item. I don't even have this item hooked up yet. I was just curious what it might run me in the future. I don't wish to downsize, if I don't have to. I want to own at least more than 3 fish, and that's why I got a 20 gal. K, so if I ask someone at PetSmart about an energy efficient item for my tank, there's a chance they might know what I'm talking about? lol.

Answer: Not much. Light, 15 or 20 watts if it's fluorescent, 15 for a standard 20, 20 for a 20 long. Only on 8 to 12 hours. Filter's on 24/7, but is 25 watts or less, most likely 10 or 15. Heater 50 to 100 watts, but it's only on intermittently once it's up to temperature initially. If you have a separate air pump, 10 to 20 watts, depending on size. Pretty much, about the same as one single incandescent light bulb in the 60 to 75 watt range. EDIT: Only if you get a bright one. They're around, just not too common.

Question: Do you have to have 1 lb of live rock for every gal of water in a salt water tank? I am planning on getting a 80 gal salt water tank.Is it nessaesary to have 1 lb of live rock per gal of water.And if so, what is the cheapest cured live rock that can be bought?I was also thinking of converting a ten gal fresh water to a salt water tank will this be very expensive?

Answer: Yes, in fact most reef tanks have more than 1 lb per gallon. For your 80 gallon tank, I would suggest about 100 lbs of live rock. As for the cheapest cured live rock, you can look online or you can talk to your local fish store. They will probably make a deal with you if you buy all your live rock there. You can try e-bay, where you can usually find it for 2-5$ per pound, or you can try a supply site like liveaquaria.ca. I'm a fan of Fiji liverock, but Tonga is good too. Generally, the more porous, the better. You should probably avoid setting up a 10 gallon SW tank at this time. An 80 gallon SW tank would be relatively easy to maintain, but a 10 gallon SW tank would likely fail. SW creatures and much more delicate than FW, and far less forgiving of mistakes, and even experienced aquarists with years of SW experience fail with 10 gallon SW tanks. It's just really hard to maintain perfect parameters, in part because the water volume is so small but also becaues you can't really have some of the necessary equipment in a tank that small.

Question: How should I mix the water for my new 180 gal Saltwater tank? I currently have a 30 gal tank setup and has been going for well over a year. I am slowly setting up my new 180 gal tank and I need to know if I should mix the salt as I go or fill it up with water then add the salt. Just to let you know I cant fill it at once due to having well water and I am in a severe drought area. So it will take me about 1 week to fill it up.

Answer: use a STRONG powerhead for optimal circulation.

Question: What would you do with a 75 gal to create an amazing lake malawi tank.? What would you do with a 75 gal to create an amazing lake malawi tank. What fish are relatively easy to obtain and would go well together? How would you decorate the tank? I am new to cichlids and I think malawi's are very colorful. I just don't know which ones or how many to get. Can you help me out?

Answer: I actually have a 75 gallon Malawi tank! If I had the money I would spend it on Texas Holey Rock... it looks absolutely beautiful especially with the fish colors. I have an all male tank, keeps the aggression down since there aren't any females to fight over. And one male per species I wouldn't put two greshakei males together... I wouldn't add any plants because they cichlids will munch on those, even though there are a couple they won't eat, it's not gauranteed and they will eventually uproot them and redecorate the tank for you. I love the yellow labs, they give you that punch of color you want in a tank. I also have some OB Peacock and a red peacock! I am planning on buying a Pseudotropheus Polit, and a Haplochromis Burtoni. I also have a Greshakei and an Azureus. OH my goodness I almost forgot about my Acei, great color too! The more color the better in my opinion and you will get that with an all male tank. I would suggest trying to buy some cichlids either online or at a lfs, I would stay away from Petco they don't have a good selection. Petsmart isn't bad... Do not buy from any tank that is listed mixed or assorted africans... they are hybrids.... I would put about 20 in a 75 gallon, overstocking helps keep the aggression down too. Message me if you want any help!

Question: What is a good goldfish for a 10 gal tank? I've been reading up on goldfish and am thinking of maybe getting one so I was wondering what type of goldfish could live comfortably in a 10 gal tank. Thank you.

Answer: None, sorry. If you are set on goldfish, one could live comfortably in a 20, with appropriate filtration of course. Keep reading up on them!

Question: What fish work best for a starter 55 gal tank? We are starting a 55 gal freshwater tank. What fish work best, should we look at small fish, medium fish? We have a few other smaller tanks, but this is the first large tank, so we are lost in how to fill it.

Answer: I think you have some really good answers here with some wide diversity. I would assume you know about the cycle process since you do have some smaller tanks, but just in the event you don't, think about your long term fish after the tank has cycled. Get some hardy fish like the Danio's, Zebras, Platty's, Mollies, even some guppies. Pick just one species and let them sit in the cycle unless you want to opt for a fishless cycle. In the event you are going fishless, I'd email Copperhead or Ghapy because I have never tried that one. Once you cycle is all done with, I personally think neon's and painted glass fish are really striking in coloration. One distinct advantage to MOST small fish is that you could house more of them generally, but when considering this, stock based on adult sizing. Meaning you have a 55 gallon tank, but don't max out your bio load right now, because the fish you get are not going to stay that size. Just like with your clothes allow for growing room, so consider your long term size when looking at your species. There are some really brilliantly colored cichilds I have seen, but don't know much about that could make a great addition to your tank. I am not an expert on cichilds but there is one of the top contributers you could consult on that one 8 in the something. I forget lol. Gourami have a bunch of different breeds you could get, nice colors on them as well. I personally have 4 Lavendars, 2 Giants, and 2 Dwarves. Try this site, I know they may not be in your particular area, but they have a great forum of pics to look over, and they will take calls on advice. www.absolutlyfish.com

Question: What is the best water filter for a 40 gal turtle tank? I'm starting to plan a new home for my 4 inch long red-eared slider. Right now it's in a 5.5 gal tank. I'm planning on getting him (or her) a 40 gallon breeder tank. What is the best filter for this tank? I was looking at the Fluval 205. Is this going to filter the water well? (110 gph, up to 40 gallons) Are there any other filters that anybody else uses? I'm trying to spend as little as possible obviously but will not pass up a good filter either. It also loves to dig, what is a good substrate to use so that he can't dig into it? Right now I have small pebbles on the bottom of the tank with a big plastic log for basking.

Answer: Turtles! I love em'. I have 2 red - eared sliders. Tyrone is about 4 years old and his shell measures about 5 1/2" in diameter. Jared is much smaller, about 3" in diameter. Recently had one die. Leroi was his name... he was very big. 8" in diameter. They live in a 75 gallon tank. The bottom of the tank is covered with small river stones and plants. They love having places to hide. They also have a floating platform to bask under the light and keep warm. So to answer your question... "Fluval" specializes in filters for turtles. They come in several different sizes to accomaodate the size tank you have. For a 40 gallon tank, you would need at least the #204. I have the largest model the pet store sold #404. It filters 100 gallons of water. The only part of the filtration system that is in the water is the intake and discharge tube. So there is minimal space taken up in the tank, leaving more space for the turtles. The motor is contained in a container that sits on the floor beneath the tank. It is very quiet. Cleaning it is very easy. There is no need to clean it often. I only clean my filter and tank about every 4 months. Even then the water remains clear, of course you will still have some sediment on the bottom of the tank. I highly suggest you check in to the "Fluval" Filters. they are worth the extra money, if you don't want to have to change the filter every couple of weeks. If you purchase this brand, I'm sure you and your turtle will be pleased. Good luck; Kevin

Question: How many fish could I put in a 5 gal tank? I just bought a five gal tank, and I'm planning on putting a female Betta I just bought, and two Platies I already have in there together. Would that be okay? Also, I was wondering if I could add anymore fish in or is that the limit already?

Answer: 3 or 4 corydora catfish would fit in nicely, and pretty much reach the limits of the tank but doesn't overdo it. The betta certainly won't pose an issue and the tank can handle that without a problem, assuming all is cared for right. Pleco's get huge and are messy - bad choice.

Question: What's the best way to clean 5 gal water bottles? I have some 5 gal Culligan water bottles for my dispenser and wanted to know the best way to clean it. Are there any types of kits I can get like scrubs or brushes to clean the inside? Should I just use bleach?

Answer: Take them outside and take a water hose & some bleach to them..

Question: How much water can i leave in a 29 gal tank when moving it? I have a 29 gal tank with atleast 25 lbs of gravel in the bottom and about 15 fish/shirmp. How much water should i remove before i try to move it from my apartment to my car and to my new apartment? thanks all, i'ts not actually mine.. it's my boyfriends and he's gettin some guys to help him...i'll make sure we drain it will tho.

Answer: This is not the safest way to move an aquarium! That being said, I have done it. Item #1- If you are not a weight lifter---don't try. Get strong help! The shifting of the water and gravel makes this an exercise in controlling heavy weights. If stairs are involved it becomes doubly difficult. Item #2- Remove every thing that you can,(decor,larger rocks,anything to remove weight). Item #3-Remove all the water you can,(fish can survive in a surprisingly small amount for short periods of time). Item #4- Consider moving some of the water taken out of the tank in a separate container. If the time between the two apartments is more than an hour you can add this back into the aquarium for the trip and siphon it out for the move at the end of the ride. Item #5- The aquarium MUST sit on a firm,flat surface like the back of a station wagon or the floor of a van. Setting on a soft car seat with any weight at all in the tank invites leaks or breakage. If the tank won't fit in the trunk of the car try removing the back seat and shimming up a level board. Item #6- Good luck,and best wishes.

Question: How many fish can I safely keep in a 12 gal tank? I am ready to populate my freshwater aquarium with fish, but I don't want to over populate and crowd ... Can anyone tell me how many fish I can safely keep in a 12 gal tank? Thanks!

Answer: It really depends on the size of the fish, the dwelling levels of the fish and also waste output. Why don't you have a look around the internet, find some fish you like and then try to work out a stocking list around that? http://www.aquahobby.com/e_freshwater_tr… is a good place to look for pictures of fish. When you've worked out a stocking list, or you've found a couple of fish you think you'd like to have, feel free to email me and I can help you add or take away from your list. Don't follow the inch-per-gallon rule, it is rather outdated and generally does not work.

Question: How many serpae tetras would be good for a 10 gal? I have a 10 gal with 1 otocinclus and 1 corydoras, how many serpae's would be okay to put in there?

Answer: I would say 6 serpae tetras. 3 cories and 3 otocinclus cats. Your bioload should be fine. don't put them all at the same time.

Question: How much would a gal have to despise me to swiftly jerk her head the other direction when I show up? So say as soon as I enter a room, she jerks her head down or in the other direction. Or to go out on a limb, say she stares at me, waits for me to lock eyes with her, and then swiftly jerks her head down as soon as eye contact is made. Exactly HOW MUCH of a despisal would that gal have to have toward me to do that? And what might her thoughts be at those moments? ToryL, what message? Why don't you elaborate? And I suppose that if I can't resolve the grudge with her myself, I can always send a mutual friend after her to help solve it for me. In the history of my life, if someone gave me signs of hate, I'd try harder to make them stop hating. If they stopped giving those outward signs, then I'd leave them alone because what they do is called "provocation."

Answer: She's probably immature and holding a stupid grudge. I wouldn't worry about it.

Question: What would be the cost to set up a 20 gal fish tank? what is the cost to set up a 20 gal tank with filters, heaters, and the little bubble thingys and all the accesorys? your expeiriences?

Answer: I spent about 150$ cnd for everything I needed(tank with lid,gravel ,decorations,filter and heater).

Question: How would you find the total heat capacity of 1800 gal of water? A house is designed to have passive solar energy features. Brickwork is to be incorporated into the interior of the house to act as a heat absorber. Each brick weighs approximately 1.8 kg. The specific heat of the brick is 0.85 J/g·K. How many bricks must be incorporated into the interior of the house to provide the same total heat capacity as 1800 gal of water?

Answer: The heat capacity of water is (by definition) one Calorie per kilogram - degree, and 1800 gallons of water is about 14,400 pounds, or 6500 kilograms. Since this is 6500 Calories per degree, all you need to do is to multiply by joules per Calorie (4,187) to get the number of joules. Figure the joules per brick, and do the obvious division.

Question: What is the best type of fish for a 5 gal tank? What is the best type of fish for a 5 gal tank?

Question: What are compatible tankmates for a betta fish in a 5 gal tank? I'm going to university next year and the only pets that residence allows are fish and the maximum size tank they will allow is a 5 gal. I would like to get a betta fish and some other pretty fish as well to have variety, but I want to make sure I don't overcrowd the tank. What types of fish and how many could I get? the restrictions are a 5 gallon tank max. in residence, but I don't know how flexible they are with that. they could be and MAYBE a 10 gallon tank might be possible

Answer: Betta's "Siamese Fighting Fish" common tankmates include platies (moons), Corydoras catfish, and loaches. Females can share a tank with danios, tetras, barbs, and gouramis, but males should not be kept with these species as they tend to nip at their long fins. Shrimp are popular tank-mates because, provided with sufficient natural plant cover, they keep the tank clean without causing stress to the bettas.
