i'd do this. actually, i probably wouldn't even bother unpacking the new filter. i moved two tanks 300 miles and filled old tidy cats litter buckets halfway for the fish and transported the decor in separate buckets with enough water to cover everything. from taking down the tanks to having...

not really just getting started, but think i may basically have to..... so, the marineland stealth heater in my 3yo 36g corner fowlr malfunctioned a week ago and sent my tank water to 100. i had done a pwc two days beforehand, so i know it was at this temp for less than 48hours. the only...

i ended up trying to feed it live bloodworms, and it acted like a completely different fish. it ate and plumped up and i was able to move it to the 55 about three months after i made the original post. i have since moved on from that position and had to leave the fish behind, but i have...

i recently bought a used 55g aquarium and the top frame has two small cracks. each starts along the center brace (plastic) and runs to the bottom of the frame. they're located on either end, and opposite sides, of the brace. the brace itself is not cracked. my plan is to add a 6" wide 1/2"...

don't mean to hijack the thread, but what order should you use the sealant and paint? cover the foam with sealant, then paint it? other way around? or would the krylon fusion act as a sealant and negate the need for silicone?

so, when i started my tank in may, i knew i wanted a pair of bangaii cardinals. the bf wanted a firefish, so we got that first in june. i figured i should get any other peaceful fish i may want before adding 'semi-aggressive' cardinals, so i got a tank-bred ocellaris clown in july. in august...

i work in the science dept. at a small university, and while we don't use them for any research or anything, we have two fishtanks that i take care of: a 10 gal and 55 gal. the 55 is mainly home to generations of platies, while the 10 is used as a quarantine. so, in april, one of my work-study...

is it better to add all members of a school at once, or to add 2-3 at a time as to not overload the bio filter? if it helps to know, i'm planning on adding a school of julii cory cats to a 29g that will already contain a platy, a dwarf gourami, and a pleco.
