Sorry, I thought I attached a picture. Here it is:

Hello all. This is my first saltwater tank and I have a question. The system has been running for about 4 weeks. A little after I added my first fish, I noticed brown algae growing on my live rock and sand. I assumed it was diatoms because it soon went away. However, there is new algae growing...

Hello all! I originally came to aquarium advice to get help in putting together a 20g planted tank. Thanks to all the advice I received it came out beautifully, with plants and fish all flourishing. I had to dismantle it however, due to complaints from the person I was living with and my moving...

I got the gouramis from Walmart and I think they're females based on online descriptions but I'll keep an eye out for agression. I also noticed another platy fry hiding out in some of my plants so now I'm watching shrimp bellies for platy parts lol

Hello all, I'm a novice fish keeper with a stocking question. I was following the 1" adult fish per gallon rule, as advised by an associate at my LFS. I did some research after buying my 2 new dwarf gouramis, and aqadvisor.com says my tank is 135% stocked. I have a 20g high heavy/moderately...

Thanks. I think I'll still take he fish out before dosing to be on the safer side, especially since there's no explicit info on using it with fish in tank.

So far only 2 platies, 1 Red Wag and 1 Red Tiger
