Yeah I dont want any of the yellow. The tank is in a room with 3 planted freshwater tanks, and I want the blue light to help set it apart from the freshwaters.

Hello, after searching the internet I finally found the solution for the crappy little standard bulb in the Eclipse 12 system that didn't involve spending extra money or constructing a retrofit. I found 2 bulbs that will fit the hood but need help deciphering between the two options. I'd just...

Dont worry, i've been carefully monitoring the tanks nitrogen cycle. Will the shrimp eat regular food or pellets? I've had good luck with shrimps in all my freshwaters but didn't think about one for my saltwater. I was just looking up the pistol shrimps, seems like almost everybody's yellow...

My tank has been cycling for about 3 weeks now, just poking along. I tossed a shrimp in the tank from the freezer and let it rot for a bit and it spiked and the ammonia and its now back to zero. Seems it really did speed things up! There are a cpl small fish stores in my area and a few big name...

I have a trio of bolivians, i'm not sure exactly of their sexes but it seems like 2 paired off immediately and the other one hangs around when they let him/her. I have them in a tank full of platys, cories, sparkling gouramis, and female bettas. I've pretty much never seen them interact with any...

Perhaps your shrimp suffers with a rare neurological condition called Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID) lol. It's a real disorder appearantly, a man who had it hated his own perfectly good right leg and wanted it amputated, doctors wouldn't approve the surgery so he took matters into his...

Thanks, i'll give it a shot.

I currently have 3 bolivian rams. I had a single bolivian ram in my community tank for months and he was very drab looking and hung out around the bottom. A friend of mine had 3 rams in his tank and they were all fully of color, the reds, yellows, golds, and blues all stood out. I decided to...

I have a few sparkling gouramis in my 29 gallon. I love those little guys. Danios are definitely an active fish. There are a few different types of them you can probably find at your LFS. They are VERY hardy as well, make sure you keep a small school of them tho, they go kind of nuts on their...

Id imagine that you might use the same rule of thumb for CPO's as fish. Maybe a gallon per inch of them. Not too sure here tho!

Yeah the fishing weights would work if you didn't want to wait. what i've done in the past was let it dry then silicone it to a flat rock or tie it to a heavy (acquarium safe) object and then bury the bottom part of the driftwood and the stone/object connected to it.

Hello, I had a little freshwater community tank with female bettas and some cories in a 12 gallon Eclipse tank. I got a much larger tank which is now my freshwater community tank. I have a total of 4 different freshwater setups right now…but i cleaned up my little 12G Eclipse and packed it...
