Play close attention to the C3 (or any C series). It has several areas where water circumvents the filter pads and goes right back into the tank. Not really a problem, but it's something to keep in mind when weighing this filter against others. It's got bypass issues, too. Both of mine also...

The 603B has an actual flow of about 45 gph using the stock media and a 3 foot drop between the filter and tank. Still adequate for a 10 gallon tank. I wasn't happy with it in my 20 gallon. The low flow velocity wasn't moving water (and the CO2 I was injecting) throughout the tank. I've used a...

Yes. Kansas.

Pure strains only. No guppy crosses. Thank you.

20 gallon long.

This is the ornament I wrote about. When prepping it for the tank, I discovered it had a few small holes already hidden in the surface. I did my best to make sure I didn't trap any air when sinking it into the tank. I hope this will be enough to keep it from getting stinky.

I recently bought a large Universal Rock outcropping as the centerpiece of the new tank. These artificial rocks are hollow inside, and the only opening is the bottom plane that rests against the substrate and/or aquarium bottom. I'm concerned this may create a problem with either trapped air...

I recently purchased a 20 gallon long Marineland aquarium. After filling the tank, I measured the ends and middle to find out whether there was any bowing in the glass. I measured 29.4 cm on each end (front to back) and 29.7 cm in the middle (again, front to back). This appears to be a 3 mm...

I noticed this egg today floating among hornwort in my tank. Inhabitants include assassin snails, otocinclus and corydoras. Google searching leads me to believe this may be an oto egg. These fish have been in the tank for about a week only, however. They adjusted well and appeared to acclimate...

Can anyone tell me what type of algae I have in my tank, based on the pictures attached to this post? If so, how do I treat it? I have slowed much of the growth by changing feeding routines and photo periods. However, manually removing the algae seems nearly impossible. Thank you. Sent...

I've got a planted tank with cories and cherry shrimp. Any advice on a stronger treatment that would be compatible with these parameters? Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

I started treating with Paraguard in the main tank thinking it may be ick. I'm using a half dose. The inhabitants seem to be handling it well.

Boy or girl?

My GBR developed a white spot on a fin about three days ago. No other spots have developed on this fish or others in the tank. Today, it appeared that the size of the spot has increased. Attached is a photo (the photo is if the fish's backside, and the spot is on the right side of the fish)...
