Hello My Java Fern is growing like crazy and it's taking over a little more space than i'd like it to. Should i go after the older leaves, the younger ones, or whatever will fulfill what i'm trying to get esthetically?

Just sent them an email. Thought it was weird i couldn't find a phone number anywhere.

hmm. the rattling is still there the same as it was before, but now it sounds as if a bubble track is being mixed in with it.

yes. i took the impeller out of the filter and dabbed a little but of Prime onto it since i heard that sometimes it takes a few days for them to quite down. Also, it was loud before i used Prime. It's getting louder, and i'm getting more frustrated. Almost everyone i've talked to who uses...

well what else should i do? i took it out, made sure all dust and crap was out of the tank. Then i rinsed off the bio filter, lubed up the impeller, filled it up with water, leveled it out on the aquarium..... am i missing something? oh the top is also off. with the top on it's sounds like a...

yeah. it takes a minute for the bubble to chug it's way through the intake tube. that isn't the sound though. the sounds sounds like the impeller fan is going to explode.

what did you do? i made sure i didn't turn it on before there was water in, washed off the bio filter, lubed up the impeller and it's still really really loud. I can hear it coming from right where the impeller is. it's not vibrating on anything. SO FRUSTRATING.

i returned my first one thinking there was something wrong with it and the new one arrived in the mail today with the same results. The impeller fan is loud as ****. Even with the top off, and some water conditioner to lube it up it's still about as loud as my old aerator pump. Any suggestion...

all of my chemistry is on point. I do one 30% and one 50% water change every week. i unfortunately have no room left in this tiny apartment for another tank. Now even more motivation to get out of this place.

i've got a ten gallon with 8 other fish. my understand was around one inch of fish per gallon. you think i'd have room for two more? six pristilla tetras and two cherry barbs

ah crap i really have limited space so i could only get one or two at the most.

My LFS has some beautiful orange dwarf gouramis there. i'm only interested in picking up one. would this be harmful to the fish?

Does anyone know any plants that would do well in a beta tank? One bulb grow light and unheated or filtered water?

i'll pick up new batteries after work tomorrow and get some shots on here

Hey, i've got a pretty well established java fern in my tank and it's started to have a bit of a problem. I recently added some aqua soil and and some laterite to my tank and since i did this the tips of some leaves look like they are burned. anyone know what this is? should i remove the...
