yes, that would be great if you could attach a few pictures of your setup. I think the hookup is substantially similar for all of the vacuum hoses.

I just moved into a new apartment in NYC. My kitchen sink uses a pullout faucet spray head (almost identical to this: DANCO Center Pullout Faucet Spray Head in Brushed Nickel-10409 - The Home Depot) Has anyone out there had success with attaching a vacuum hose to this type of faucet? I can't...

I recently discovered that my Fluval 406 has been leaking water. It's a very slow leak, and not at all consistent. I noticed a very small puddle of water at the base of the canister a few weeks ago. I cleaned up the puddle and a few days later it was back. This happens every few days. I...

I've seen varied advice regarding the appetite of dwarf puffers. I have 3 dwarf puffers in a tank in my office, so live food will be difficult. Would love to hear advice on what my options are in terms of food.

I am setting up a Dwarf Puffer tank and have heard that snails make good food for them. Can they survive solely on snails? Can I simply put a few snails in the tank that are known to breed and let things take their course? What type of snails would you recommend? Any other thoughts would be...

Also, is there a specific brand that anyone can recommend? Preferably something that is sold at Petco.

My main concern is whether my Denison Barbs and Hatchetfish can withstand the heat. Any idea?

How do I treat it?

Not really. It's more like white peach fuzz.

I just bought a school of 6 hatchets around 1 week ago. I did not see this stuff on any of them until a few days ago. Now one has a lot of it and a second has a small amount. Nitrates and ammonia are 0. pH is around 7. Thoughts? What should I do? Might it spread to others?

I'm hoping to hear from people who have technical knowledge regarding the negative effects of using an almost-sealed glass cover on top of a freshwater aquarium. I have heard things such as increased water temperatures and gasses being trapped, but I would like to hear about these issues in...

Will the ph level drop down naturally after I remove the rock, or do I need to do a water change?

That explains the .5 jump in pH. Thanks.

Can you help me identify this rock? Is it safe for my aquarium? It was soaked in hot water over night and scrubbed down for dirt.

Yes to proper acclimation.
