    Rainbow Fish Pics & Vid

    That's not gravel, its Black Diamond Blasting sand from Tractor Supply Co. I'm pretty sure its the medium grit.

    Pleco advice please!

    I have 3 BNs in my 75 gallon, and while they do produce a TON of waste, my son LOVES them. He loves seeing them stuck to the glass, plants, and other decor. He tries to find all 3 whenever he can, and he's always pointing them out/talking about the sucker fish. If the tank is for you and your...

    Rainbow fish sitting at top behind filter?

    Post a pic of your tank. Could be an issue of feeling insecure. Not enough hiding or cover. Or the other fish could have bullied when you put them in.

    150 gallon stocking HELP!!!

    Andy would probably be the one to ask for sure, but I've seen him recommend getting all males if possible to reduce territory/pairing issues. If you get all females they can still spawn eggs and will protect them against other angels. The males should get along better in a large group.

    LED Lighting Help!

    If you DO NOT plan on getting any live plants then any LED will work. You could even make your own out of some LED strips, or find a nice cheap one in the lighting section of your big box hardware store, Ebay, Amazon, etc. If you DO or at some point MAY WANT plants then go with the Satellite...

    Considering hillstream loaches

    Not really sure. I've seen some really cool 3D backgrounds though so I'm sure someone with some artistic talent could make it really cool.

    Considering hillstream loaches

    Just thinking out loud here, but would I be possible to do a 3D bottom instead of a 3D background and shape it into a curved river/stream for the loches? Think that would be pretty cool, but might interfere with viewing them. I don't know just thinking out loud because I think it'd be a cool...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Added some Pogo. Stellatus Broadleaf that I got from foster53 to my 75 gallon. Also rescaped my 20 gallon with a few stems of the Pogo. and some of the extras he threw in (Rotala Ramsoir 'Sunset', Limmophila Balem, and Pogo Narrow Leaf.) on top of the crypts and misc stems I had in there...

    What Did You do With Your Tank Today?

    Not exactly to the tank, but I added some lights underneath in the cabinet. Going to make filter cleaning and maintenance chores a bit easier now that I don't have to use my phone light. Now I just need a better organized box underneath. I also bought new CFLs for my 20 Gallon. The fixture...

    DYI spray bar

    1/2" PVC and drill holes about every inch. I think I ended up with 1/8" holes but do t remember 100%. Get a cap for one end and a 90* elbow for the other and you should be gtg.

    75g with Finnex Plated 24/7: Expectations?

    Please keep us updated. I'm very interested in the Planted+ as a replacement to my Stingray. Right now I'm dosing XL every other day, and Flourish 1x a week. Growing crypts well, Ludwigia a bit, Vals are doing ok...getting tall but not really spreading. Red sword isn't doing great. Not sure...

    New Member Here Possible Advanced Bundle Right Off The Bat?

    Not many bundles are of good quality, unfortunately. Companies do this mostly to make the cost effective, but in the end most informed consumers end up replacing a large portion of the equipment. Check with your LFS and see if they can put together a bundle and give you a price break if you...

    Pentagon front tank

    Split the areas up into 1 large rectangle, 2 small triangles, and then 1 small rectangle in the front middle. Find those volumes and add together. Basic geometry.

    I Want Black Sand! Best Brand?

    I believe Ecco complete is already cleaned but not 100%. For 60 gallons you probably want 50-75 lbs.

    Light suggestions for a low-tech planted 55 gallon?

    I went back and forth between the Current Satellite and the Finnex Stingray. Ended up with the Stingray 48". Light looks great, but now I'm debating whether or not to go a bit more high tech with my setup. I think I'm developing n+1 syndrom.

    Seeding filters

    If that's the case then you can probably cut up the Biowheel and stuff that into the new ac70. Between that and the ac50 you have, it shouldn't cause a mini-cycle.

    Two Canisters Output to One Spraybar?

    I have two Marineland Magnum 350 canisters both running on a 75 gallon tank. One is outputting to a DIY PVC spray bar that is about 2/3 across the back of the tank, and the other is outputting to the supplied nozzle that came with it. I was wondering if I made a single PVC spray bar the whole...
