I have a 30-gallon high (24x12x24) system that's been running as freshwater for some time now, and I've decided to make the move to saltwater. The problem is, I've been spoiled--I've been keeping African cichlids, and I'm completely stuck on fish with a lot of personality. So far as I know...

Well, not new. Found it at a yard sale, old glass one, for $20. Resealed it, cleaned it, now it looks as good as new! Emperor 400 filter, driftwood, fake plants, big piece of slate, and about an inch and a half of gravel. All it needs is some fish! I want to go with a pair of convicts, an...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). Two fish are dead: one Corydoras aeneus, and one Pterophyllum scalare--black lace veil angel. No visible symptoms prior to death, no...

I have an established 30-gallon tank (the tall one, 24x12x24), currently with a pair of angelfish, an ancistrus (SO CUTE!), three swordtails, and three cories (also incredibly cute). Filtration is an Emperor 400, which I chose because of the depth of the tank. It's been doing an excellent job...

I've just finished cycling a 10-gallon tank (my third, now, if you count the betta in his 2.5). I've used a guppy for cycling, but he's moving out--he actually belongs to a friend. Anyways, I'm really into cichlids, and I'm thinking about having a pair of Convicts. I just have gravel in the...

Is there a subforum for general aquarium discussion, regardless of saltwater or fresh?

My male guppy, whom I have had since Friday, has suddenly gotten beaten up by the three swordtails who share his tank. Up until today, they've been fine, even this afternoon he was okay, but I came back from a late afternoon appointment and his fins were ragged and he was hiding in the...

So, the 30-gallon high is being a real ***** about cycling--a week and a half with three swordtails, and I haven't even had an ammonia spike, still no nitrites or nitrates. So yesterday, I was at the LFS for some more Prime (I had gotten a big bottle, and it's just too hard to manage for the...

Is it possible to set up a 10-12 gallon saltwater system as a FOWLR (perhaps a few hardy invertebrates), with a showpiece of either a snowflake moray (Echidna nebulosa) or saddled toby (Canthigaster valentini)? If neither of these species are suitable, what are some that you would recommend...

I'm looking at setting up a 10g tank (my first saltwater) with a pair of clownfish, an anemone, and live-rock. The actual thing is at least six months from happening, but I'd like to start planning well in advance so that I know what I need when the time comes, and am not scrambling around due...

I've just started my 30-gallon XH tank (got the XH because I intend to have a pair of angelfish), and it's in the process of cycling now. But somehow, I don't think things are going so well... The tank is filtered by an Emperor 400, which does an EXCELLENT job of providing circulation down to...

So, I've just acquired a 30 XH aquarium (made by Perfecto Manufacturing). It's a black-trimmed glass tank, measuring 24x12x24. I'm planning to set it up as a somewhat natural-looking freshwater tank, with the 'focus' as a pair of angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare), and also three swordtails...

I have just acquired a package of frozen brine shrimp for my betta (male, crown-tail, and he is GORGEOUS). But I am something of an idiot, and so how do you go about feeding it to the fish who is smaller than the cubes are? Do you thaw it? Cut it? *baffled*

I have some stocking questions regarding a 29-30 gallon saltwater aquarium. Live rock is to serve as the biological filtration. Also to be used are an external power filter and a protein skimmer. Stocking scheme is based on The New Marine Aquarium, page 84 (Barebones Desk Tank/Young...

Hello, I'm new here, and I'm planning on setting up a 29-34 gallon aquarium (depends on which tank I can get at the better price). Here is my intended stocking scheme... 2-3 angelfish (looking at Koi angels) 3 swordtails (one male, two females) 3 Cory cats 1 Ancistrus cat Anyone have any...
