Water usually green and can't see anything. Did a 50 percent water change yesterday

I have a fluval fresh and plant 2 light full spectrum. Lights on for 8 hours. I believe I have green algae.no window. Plants look well. Not feeding too much. Had a San Juan catfish die and decompose in tank.

I need advice on what to do to get rid of a water algae bloom in a 20 gallon fresh water planted tank. I have been doing water changes twice a week for the last 3 weeks and dosing with flourish excel. I believe the bloom was due to a hidden dead fish.

Thanks. I will give it a try and hope for the best. Willing to try anything that won't kill the fish. Well any of theses products cause a spike in my water parameters that I should watch for?

Help. I kill everything. I have killed wisteria, money wart, and a banana plant. I currently have a few stands of wisteria and money wart left. Bought a new banana plant, cryptocoryne sp. and some java fern, that I would like to keep alive. Have 5 glofish, 1 flying fox and 4 Armani shrimp. 20...

Hi Everyone, I am in need of an aquarium stand for my freshwater 20 gallon fish tank and haven't seen any with great reviews. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

I need to lower my pH in my fresh water 20 gallon tank. My pH is around 8.4, though usually hangs out around 7.4. I have some black algae in the tank so I bought Excel to take care of it. I am doing 25% water changes weekly. I have fish, gravel and plants in the tank. All other chemistry...

I need advice on a good air bubble wall wand to purchase. I bought a cheap 10" air stone bubble wand from Petsmart to get started and love the small bubbles. Also I love the wall of bubbles along the back of the tank. Unfortunately after two months it was covered with algae and i was not able...

Hi. Welcome to the wonderful world of freshwater tanks. I am new to this too. I currently have 6 Glofish and a Flying Fox that play well together. Will be adding tetras soon. Just make sure to research you fish ahead of time. If you buy one or two fish that need to be in a group to...

I personally don't think it matters. I have three different colors of Danio Glofish in my tank and they school together.

I also think it is a Flying Fox. I have one in my tank.

Not to sure about this one. I know that LED is going to last you longer and is going to run up the electric bill less.

Well as long as you test the water and the strip or test kit shows there is no chlorine then you should be good to go. I let mine sit in a bucket in the tub.

Looks like you are switching over to a TopFin filter pump. Just a word of caution. I bought a 20 gallon Top Fin starter kit and the filter that came with the tank died in 28 days. I was able to exchange it for the same one, but I have read a lot of bad reviews. I ended up ordering an...

A few questions for ya 1)What brand are you using? 2) Do you have a test kit? I use Prime and add cold water. I usually let it sit overnight so it gets to room temp. before adding to the tank ( I have read that chlorine will evaporate if you let the water sit out. Not sure how true that is...
