    How can you tell if a snail is dead?

    I moved my 30 gal tank last weekend. Everything is fine and the inhabitants are happy but I have a snail that has been in it's shell since then, like 5 days now. It's not sticking out at all, it's completely sucked in, so at first i didn't think it was dead. It's been a while and i'm a bit...

    Betta behavior

    You should attack other peoples grammer as a sign of intelligence, people can come from different backgrounds, vernaculars, other countries, or maybe english isn't there first language. Whatever the case is it's not right and an elitist POV.

    as an aquarist do you also fish?

    I care for all my fish but I love eating fish and seafood. There's nothing like catching a meal. Not having to pay for it and feeling like you've done it yourself. If you ask me there is a certain aesthetic value to it. I do try to kill the fish as humanely as possible (no letting it flop to...

    Pool filter sand

    I've seen a couple post on using it as a substrate, I'm considering using it on my new tank. I was wondering if there is less area for bacteria to colonize becuase it's more compact than gravel? Would this affect bio-load?

    wet/dry filter water pump suggestions

    It's gonna be for a ~250 gallon tank. What kind of water pump would y'all recommend? I guess reliablilty over time would be the thing that i'm most concerned with. I'm probably gonna buy 2 pumps, for redundency reasons.

    Acrylic glue question

    I just bought a large acylic tank used :D :D :D . Well, there used to be a divider in there and there is acrylic glue on the inside. I was wondering if there is a solvent that will take off acrylic glue? Or some other way to get it off safely without hurting the acrylic? maybe a buffer?

    I really haven't seriously considered anything, I'm going to go look at it today and it'll probably be a while before I can accually get it set up ( funds/time ). But I do enjoy thinking about it a lot :) :) I would really like to have some oscars, love how they look swimming. If there were...

    What would you do if.......

    In my basement? i dunno what you mean by where am I gonna put it, I'm sure i can find some space :) . Musket, the land thing is an interesting idea. The tank being over 8ft long, it would be possible, plus river and waterfalls - that would be just crazy :lol: !!!!!

    Extiction level Event (Long)

    I'm planning on tossing the bucket and the dechlorinator just in case. FYI, only my small fish died, all the cory's survived. I dunno what that means. Where can I get crushed coral or other things like it at?

    Fish Stocking Question

    Hello, I am about to get done with my fishless cycle and was thinking about what I should put in it. I have a 30 gal tank and would really like to get some FW invertabrates. Some snails or a crayfish would be really cool. Shrimp are cool also. I guess my question is what type of fish would...

    Thanks for input ppl. I have a 30 gallon tank and still trying to get this fishless cycle to work. I did a 60% change and then a 35 - 40% change and my ammonia reading is still around 8 ppm. Probably a bit lower but definatly not 4. It's getting kinda annoying to try to fix this. At this...

    Fishless cycle question

    I started a fishless cycle this weekend and I think I added too much ammonia. I've been testing everyday and it reads off the charts , +8.0 or so. I'm using the aquarium pharm master kit. My question is, will it still be ok? I assume the bacteria will come and just eat it but i'd like to be...
