Hello all, So i have this planted 35 gal tank that has been set up for a couple of months - everything was going great but in the last few days i've had an extensive amount of algae growth on plants that look like this: The aquarium does not get any directs sunlight to promote algae growth and...

Hi all hope you all are well and your fishies are happy :) I have a 128L (~35 gal) tank with a couple og BN plecos, a few fancy guppies and a small school of glowlight tetras. Got som fair amount of plant growth that will increase, good amount of bogwood and good soft slighty acidic water...

Footprint is 80cm x 40cm (31,5 inch x 16 inch) and so far i've built 5 caves of slate in different sized. Not sure im familiar with those plants since i got back in this whole aquarium game not too long ago, could you give some longer names for them? Are 2 schools of 6-10 fish better than 1...

Hello everyone So since i want happy thriving fish i wanted to run a setup by you guys first. Tank is without any fish at the moment, but sitting there with a piece of bogwood, some java fern, java moss etc. I have 2x24 Watt tubes for lighting with possibilty of a 3rd if it wont increase...

That actually looks really great and serving a good purpose, what about lighting? Wont they get wet putting them on top of that?

My aquarium is a bit closed off in the top, but ill definately look into those fans if im not able to keep temperature down in other ways :)

I'd love some good plant growth yes. Tomorrow i'll try to keep track of temperature and see what happens. Temperature actually dropped slightly after unplugging heater, which should NOT have been on. Maybe something's wrong with the thermostat. I have option to either turn on 1, 2 or all 3...

Think its a powerchrome tube, that mean anything to you guys?

I got them with the aquarium from previous owner as a set. I dont know so much about the different lighting types, hence me asking for help. I tried to look them up, and as far as i can tell its 2x24 Watt T5 Midday 6000k tube + 1x24 Watt aquared (which i havent been able to find, but found an...

Hey all, So i have a couple of smaller tanks, nothing fancy but the fishes are happy and everything is going great. Im setting up a 128L (~35 gal) tank and yesterday everythig seemed fine and all measurements were stable and temperature was 25.5-26 degrees celcius (around 78 fahrenheit) but...

I wouldnt know where to get well water, so must be a no :( Yeah i suppose corys will go nicely. But then ill just stock up bottom dwellers :D wont need the top half of my aquarium with just corys and BN pleco? :D

Thanks :) I plan on adding some hiding spots (which ive already made from slate) and keep a handful of bristlenose plecos in there. Am looking for a good type of fish to keep with them that wont ruin the possibility of breeding the plecos. Anyone have any experience with that? On another...

Thanks a lot, im sure at some point i will have loads of question. So far my 35 Gal / 128 L tank is starting to look like a fish-friendly tank, though not so dense yet :)

Hi, So i gotback into the aquarium hobby a while back. Got two 20Gal tanks and am at the moment working on a 35Gal tank project. The 20Gal just have simple starter fish (guppies, plecos) - but taking my time with the new one to get a well thought out setup. I hope to really learn how to care...
