    Mixing eco complete with sand?

    Sorry for the late response. No I've put that on hold, may try mixing the two in a smaller tank. Read some info on possible toxins that could harm the fish if the sand got disturbed. Just didn't feel like taking the risk in my 75gal.

    Mixing eco complete with sand?

    Has anyone mixed eco complete with sand? I have 7 bags of eco complete in my 75 gal, need to add at least 4 more to get proper depth. I was wondering if anyone has mixed sand with it and would it be helpful in anyway.

    Lost my red tail shark

    Went to feed the fish this morning and sadly found my red tail shark belly up on the bottom. He looked good yesterday. It could be natural that sometimes fish just pass. This is the second mystery death in my tank in a month, thinking about putting up a night surveillance camera to see what...

    A Military Term Called "mission creep"... Except with Fish Tanks

    This conversation is hilarious! Probably true to a majority of us on here. I have a 75 gal fresh that I'm still trying to get a handle on, and have a 10gal reef that just doesn't seem big enough. I'm in the midst of thoughts of how to beef up my floor. Is it a hobby or addiction either way...

    Things are going brown.

    I adjusted my return spraybars so that part of it is spraying into the tank and the other part toward the surface. Before I had it set up that I was just targeted my surface maybe that was causing some dead zones in regards to circulation. Its looking better today in terms of buildup along the...

    A few of my fish.

    No, I look for fish that will get along in a community tank/planted, a few I have inherited from a 20 gal a neighbor could not take care of. I know I have a few that might not be good for my plants. Keeping an eye on those, may move them to a non planted tank. I try to ensure recommended group...

    Delapool's 150 gallon tank

    Shortly after I moved to my larger tank, my angels laid eggs. Being that it was a new start up and not thinking they were eggs, I was worried of some new algae issue and removed the eggs before asking for identification. I felt so bad afterwards.

    One sword not so good, Also caught my molly nibbling on it. Who knows what goes on after the light goes out. I figure there will be some trial and error here. If I can continue the health of the other three I'll replace the unhealthy sword if I can't get it to turn around. I've seen many post...
