    Fluval Spec V Shremp Tank

    Set up my new spec today. Pulled sand, plants, wood, shrimp etc. out of my 65g. The shremp just get lost in there. I needed a space just to focus on them. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/c3OM12zRT4my1boEjCTVYg.yft7YWHUj000HH7VCZYgie

    Recommendations please.

    I recently downsized from lots of little tanks to one big one. And then I added an angelfish.... Well, my community with shrimp is doing great but the shrimp stay hidden in the plants. I can’t blame them as the angel spends all the time hunting. My other fish never really bothered them. I...

    Fresh Mulberry Leaves

    Hello! I recently discovered a neighbor who has a mulberry tree and shared some leaves with me. No spraying as she feeds them to her silk worms. I have been feeding the dried mulberry leaves to my shrimp for years and thought they would love the fresh. Washed them well, blanched for 1 minute...

    Feeding question.

    I was feeding 5x a week, but now that I have combined my 2 smaller tanks into one, and added 7 young fish, I am feeding 2x a day. Small amounts, gone within a minute or down to the critters hiding in the plants. I drop in a fat algae wafer at least 3 nights a week for my pleco, shrimp, snails...

    Chiller Recommendations Plz

    I just invested in a 65 gallon tank. We get a little hot out here and thinking of a chiller. Our house is usually kept air conditioned to 78-80 degrees. But with lights, even LED I worry the tank will get too warm. I like to keep it about 76-77. And then if we ever have an AC issue, I...

    Air getting into canister and maintenance suggestions please.

    My canister is getting a bit of air in it. I cleaned it last week and burped it a few times. But it’s still getting air somehow. I checked all the hoses. I tipped it in all directions and no water leak so I don’t think it’s the main o ring. I’m suspecting the piece where the hoses connect...

    Sometimes you just have to wonder...

    Water Test Service

    Hello, has anyone had any experience with using a water testing service in the US. I have found a few sites for reef/marine tanks but nothing for freshwater. I lost all my shrimp a few months back when I changed my substrate. I have added a poly filter that would indicate certain types of...

    Rimless Tanks

    Ok I'm old-ish. I have a question. What exactly is holding a rimless tank together? The amount of silicone at the joints is the equivalent of a Brazilian bikini wax. What keeps the dang things from falling apart with all that water pressure? I find a nice thick bead of silicon and frame...

    Bad Advice

    A lot of people turn to the internet to learn about fish, aquariums, aquatic plants, inverts etc. I am always dumbfounded by the BAD information and directions given. Perfect example. Put a foot long fish in a 30 gallon tank.... As stated info from a popular internet website.
