Once I get the new tank cleaned and setup, I plan on transferring my substrate, decor and fish to the new tank and selling the old.

It sure is! Tonight I plan on moving the tank out into the garage to fill it with water and vinegar and get the filter running so that both the tank and filter can get cleaned. Then everything will get scrubbed and rinsed really well.

Hello fish friends! About 2 years ago I setup my 60 gallon freshwater community tank. Over the past few months, I've been thinking about upgrading to something bigger and finally found a good deal. A few hours ago I took delivery of my new tank! Here are a couple photos of it compared to my...

Ah yes...that clears things up for me. I was thinking today about adding carbon directly into the tray and then sliding the tray into a filter sock or something. I figure this would prevent any carbon from escaping out into the tank. I'd like to use up my carbon supply before buying anything...

Not near a window at all. The last few days I've actually only been running the lights 5 hours a day...but I still see the brown getting worse. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hello everyone! My tank is starting to get some brown algae on the back glass and on the decorations. I've done some reading around and see that this mostly happens in new tanks, but my tank has been up and running for well over a year now. I will admit that I'm a bit on the overstocked...
