    Mixing eco complete with sand?

    Sorry for the late response. No I've put that on hold, may try mixing the two in a smaller tank. Read some info on possible toxins that could harm the fish if the sand got disturbed. Just didn't feel like taking the risk in my 75gal.

    Mixing eco complete with sand?

    Has anyone mixed eco complete with sand? I have 7 bags of eco complete in my 75 gal, need to add at least 4 more to get proper depth. I was wondering if anyone has mixed sand with it and would it be helpful in anyway.

    Lost my red tail shark

    Went to feed the fish this morning and sadly found my red tail shark belly up on the bottom. He looked good yesterday. It could be natural that sometimes fish just pass. This is the second mystery death in my tank in a month, thinking about putting up a night surveillance camera to see what...

    A Military Term Called "mission creep"... Except with Fish Tanks

    This conversation is hilarious! Probably true to a majority of us on here. I have a 75 gal fresh that I'm still trying to get a handle on, and have a 10gal reef that just doesn't seem big enough. I'm in the midst of thoughts of how to beef up my floor. Is it a hobby or addiction either way...

    Things are going brown.

    I adjusted my return spraybars so that part of it is spraying into the tank and the other part toward the surface. Before I had it set up that I was just targeted my surface maybe that was causing some dead zones in regards to circulation. Its looking better today in terms of buildup along the...

    A few of my fish.

    No, I look for fish that will get along in a community tank/planted, a few I have inherited from a 20 gal a neighbor could not take care of. I know I have a few that might not be good for my plants. Keeping an eye on those, may move them to a non planted tank. I try to ensure recommended group...

    Nice! I like the way the fish's color pop against the white rocks. May try to incorporate some white into mine.

    Things are going brown.

    I just turned off my light, usually have it on for ten hours straight. It is a beamswork 1w high lumen. My aquarium is 12 feet from nearest window. I'm using leaf zone right now but want to go to flourish when I add more plants soon. Water changes once a week, with water parameters being OK...

    Things are going brown.

    Been dosing excel every other day in a 75 gal with 4 amazon swords thought all was well. Today I noticed a brownish buildup near the top of my eco complete near the glass, slate rock has a brown tinge to it, and my swords are browning on the edges. My water parameters: 7.8 pH O Ammonia 0...
