Purigen is something you put in your HOB filter in a bag right? Now would this be something that would clear my water back up if the used wood is leeching or would it just make the water look a bit Better after it leeched but still be somewhat tinted? Or is it all depending on individual tank...

I have read all about preparing wild driftwood for the aquarium but at the LFS noticed that they have some that looks like it is pre wrapped from a company i believe it's called mopani wood. Would this type of wood require the same type of prep to make sure it doesn't leach the tannis and make...

I hear everyone talk about this dollar per gallon sale but have never seen it here in Toronto. Is this sale purely for the states or does anyone know if canada has one or something of a equivalent? I've been frequenting the flyers here but they usually have like 7 pages for dogs then a small...

I wish we had the petco dollar a gallon sale here in Toronto :( Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey I was just wondering what sort of food you feed your Bolivians and how much/often. Once I get a hold of some smaller hardy fish and get comfy keeping them healthy I plan on getting a pair (they are the fish that made me want to get into the hobby and what I ultimately want but I know they...

So for example if i had a piece like the top one and wanted to add some holes like the bottom one has. The wood seems like it may just split if I used something as strong as a drill. But that being said I don't use a drill much so maybe not? The wood just seems somewhat light so I'm afraid it...

This is just tank,hood and stand. I don't mind waiting for something else if this setup looks a little sketch. Rather be safe than sorry. And yeah I'll deff be using PFS not a fan of gravel haha Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey guys found this set up on Craigslist for 150. Was considering getting it (40g with stand) only thing is I was told that a tank should not overhang on the stand. Does this look like it would be trouble. To me it looks like it hangs a bit on either sides. Should I hold out on it? Sent from...

Hey guys, My LFS has pieces of aquarium wood that are large and flat maybe about 9x11 and maybe 2 inches wide a bit bigger than a piece of standard paper but obviously thicker. I was thinking about adding it to my tank but would love to make some swim through holes in it. I was wondering...

Hey guys was watching a YouTube video and this fish swam across the screen. To a screen shot. Wondering if anyone knew what it was? I think it's a gorgeous fish. (The black stripe with pink and yellow) Thanks Jeffrey Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey guys! Newbie here. was wondering what the costs are associated with maintaining this filter. Like how often I would need to buy new filter inserts or media ( I'm very new so I hope I'm using the right terms) for it. Just trying to price out the hobby before I jump in so I know the...

Woah amazing ? so many tanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hey guys I live in a fairly tall high rise here in Toronto and was wondering what you think would be a safe size to keep in a apartment. I'm looking in the 26 gallon range but a 36 gallon bowfront has also caught my eye and recently realized just how much weight a tank can be. I know there is...
