    Nematodes...Please advise.

    Same problem here, I haven't been cleaning the tank bottom, they eventually get under control if your fish are not dyeing then you have detritus worm colony bloom, they eat the dirt of the bottom of the tank, when there is too much water deficiency (dirt under gravel) they swim up to get some...

    algae on live and fake plants

    I would scrape them of with sponge or so, I'd also suggest not to bleach as it can leave trace behind it, I'd try taking the ornaments out put it in pot or so salt and boiling water that should kill anything living on the ornaments, that's the same technique for preparing drift wood for...

    algae on live and fake plants

    Dry sponge and it should come of, it's sign of excess light or food, it also shows that your daughter tank is matured, cycled and with living organisms, in your case bacterias, it's normal for it to appear anywhere certain species eat it such as shrimps, snails, plecos. Nothing to worry about, I...

    I had build my self drip barrack 3 table size shelf with 4 rows with 30 jars in each row, ended up dismantling it due to lack of space and full time job.

    Beta breeding

    It's always good to consider how are you going to have 300+ containers to keep each young males as they will kill each other, other thing is they are easy to spawn but the fry are so tiny that I could only raise them by feeding them with microworms, as brine shrimp weren't as successful as...

Because the tank will maintain its self in...
