Hello, I was looking at the article about Carbon Dioxide Systems on here (Link) as I want to plant my tank more heavily and saw where it mentioned the Hagan CO2 Natural System as an option. I'm a super anxious person and don't want to DIY something I don't understand and would rather not have a...

UPDATE: Thank you for your speedy reply, you made me feel a lot less panicked. Amazingly, the problem is now moot because my uncle has the best friends ever. I panicked about it at my mom, who told my aunt, who told my uncle, who called his friend who owns the closest pet store to me and...

I just got a dwarf powder blue gourami (literally like an hour ago) and when I opened the lid to turn the heater down (had it up for cycling) the lid did something weird, I'm not even sure what, it was so fast, and the side of the tank cracked. My only really accessible pet store closed...

I didn't have current parameters exactly but I went and took them. So currently: Temp 80.8 PH 7.6 (that's fairly normal for me and I might have been underselling my water hardness) Ammonia 4ppm still I didn't test high range PH (I get the top reading for low and the lowest for high normally) or...

So, background first, I started up my tank cycling at the end of May and the cycling seemed to be going pretty fast (fast enough that I was actually wondering if that was normal and I believe I posted here about that) and it was at the point where I was starting to see nitrates begin to show up...

Another update because I still feel like this is going shockingly fast. Nine days into the cycling, I'm dropping from 4ppm to 0.25ppm of ammonia in about two days. I have 5ppm of both nitrites and nitrates now.

Hello everyone! I started cycling my 10g tank on the 1st of June (that's when I dosed the ammonia up to 4ppm), this morning it was at 1ppm so I (attempted) dosing it back up again to 4ppm (I have shaky hands and added too much ammonia. I'm changing water to bring it down now but doing so in...

Oh dear. I posted this twice. How do I delete one?

Hello, This will be my third non-introductory thread created. I hope I get more replies on this than the other ones hence the hope in the title. I am working (slowly) at setting up a 10g tank. The original plan was a betta, maybe some african dwarf frogs, and maybe some snails. I keep seeing...

Hello, So I haven't gotten any animals yet (haven't even started cycling yet as I haven't gotten all the supplies together) but I'm attempting to temper my impatience by doing near obsessive levels of research and planning. I have/will have a 10g tank that I would like to eventually have a male...

Hi, I've read through the really nice articvle on fishless cycling by Mr. Ogilvie (Don't suppose he's related to ohGr, is he?) (this one here The (almost) Complete Guide and FAQ to Fishless Cycling - Aquarium Advice) but I have a few question. I read some of the associated thread too but...

Hello all! I'm Alex, I'm terrible at introductions but it's widely considered polite to introduce oneself before pestering you all with my super n00bish questions. Uh, I don't have any fish and/or tanks yet (actually, I have a tank but it's completely empty) but I'm planning on a betta and...
