Ok, so I’ve had this tank for about a year. Here is what I think of it. Pump is ok, I put extra media in the back and even with restricted input it works great. The lights give enough light, even for the plants at the bottom. I rarely use the rgb lights though. The CO2 system I have routes...

Hi, Just the thought of setting one up. I have had a larger saltwater tank but I cannot fing any fish other than the clown goby for a 15 gallon tank. Wouldn’t want too big fish, but has anyone had any success with a nano like this?

Hi, I read that neon tetras like living in a darker environment with dim lights. Has anyone kept neons in a normally lit environment? Maybe it affects them to the point that they die. Obviously you'll have to buy some sort of halide lamp or just a regular desk light. BUT, the main interest is...

Hi, I have thick plant growth and want to know the average plant density that you guys have. More towards the tank having enough room for the fish to swim

I made CO2 many times but I never got the week long results. Haven't personally tried the jello method, but the yeast doesn't work well for me. Has anyone gotten the long lasting results from DIY? Would like to add that retail additives are worth it to use as well.

Hi, So I've been reading that air stones are beneficial to breaking down wastes, (----> Air Pumps & Air Stones: Increase Aeration for Healthy Aquariums) but will they be beneficial when placed next to your bio media? I would like to slip an air stone to the back part of my Fluval, where my bio...

Ok so I picked up 3 pea puffers, and they are tiny! <1cm My question is would I be able to safely keep them in a bucket of tank water without filtration or heating for a few days? I really want them to grow a bit before I put them into my nano tank. This is because I have 2 large bleeding...

OK, so I ordered some limestone rocks from BA's, and I've been reading that they will raise my PH. This is not good for me, but these rocks look great and I would like to add them to my tank. The question I have is will my Fluval Stratum soil be strong enough to balance the PH of my tank back...

I want to cycle my tank with some fish, but I want to keep those fish for good. I however want to setup a Dwarf Puffer tank and see how they aren't really community fish. What tankmates would you recommend to me for cycling?

I want to start up a nano 13 gallon reef tank. I want the Fluval EVO aquarium kit that is 13.5 gallons. If anybody has this I would like to know which stand you are using, because to my knowledge the tank is held up by a smaller platform, this will reduce the stand choices. If there is no stand...

So I know that Ferric Oxide (Phosban) will take out the phosphates in your tank, but will it harm the inhabitants if I put in more? I'm not talking a lot but maybe 3grams or 4grams more. I have a small 20gallon tank and I have been battling black beard algae since the holidays. The Phosban I put...

Looking to find some freshwater stores in Ontario other than big als. Online is alright as well.

Ok, so I bought an API 5 in 1 test kit and have some questions. What is the difference between dgh/dkh and mg/L ? I would need to buy some additives for myself to change my parameters... Right now just a formula to change my/L to DGH and mg/L to DKH . From what I see, I have to raise DKH by 3...

Hi, I have a 20g planted aquarium, currently with canister filter and surface skimmer. Got myself some LED plant lights, and some fish. Also have shrimp. Not overstocked. Just read that carbon will not eat fertilizer. Looking forward to perfecting water perameters and cleaning out my water...
