I have a 90 gal. tank with about 6 different low light plant species, and would like to add more. Right now the tank is lighted by a 4 foot fixture that I got at Home Depot that contains two T5 32 watt bulbs. I'd like to add more lighting, but am on somewhat of a budget, so I was thinking about...

Ok, maybe it's just me, but I seem to have bad luck with aquarium heaters. I have a 90 gallon freshwater with a 300 watt heater in there and the temperature runs hotter than what I've set. I've got the thermostat set at about 78, and the tank temperature is usually up around 85. I've tried...

Ok, I need some help here. I've got two bristlenose plecos in my 90 gal tank. They've been there for 4 or 5 months, and I've yet seen them do anything much in the algae eating category. I thought these guys would gobble up that algae, but all they seem to do is hide in rocks during the day...

I am just setting up an aquarium after a long absence to the hobby (my last aquarium was in the late '70's). I was wondering what everyone is using as a basic, everyday, freshwater flake food. I'm considering Tetra, O.S.I, Omega One, and of course if you visit their websites, they all say...

A friend gave me a 90 gallon aquarium that he wasn't using(!) that included a Magnum 350 and a wet/dry filter system that is driven using a Little Giant in-line pump (4-MDQX-SC). Over the last month, I have been getting the necessary hard goods to get it all up and running for freshwater...

I'm setting up a new aquarium and want to use pool filter sand as the substrate. I called a local pool supply and they said that the sand they carry is called Zeosand. I checked out this website: http://www.zeoinc.com/zeosand.shtml and it looks like zeosand does contain zeolites. Would this...
