    Brown algae?

    I have a 72g tank (1.5-2 years cycled) and I have been battling a brown algae (or something else?) issue. It's on everything and is very difficult to remove, even after scrubbing. My background is actually gray in color (see photo), but the brown is covering it. I've been using Phoszorb bags...

    White poop but not stringy

    Good morning I had an issue with one of my cichlids who had bloat and died very quickly. I fed medicated food for 3 days to the rest of the tank and everyone appears to be doing well. This morning I noticed a normal size/thickness poop floating through the tank that was completely white, but...

    Am I on the right track?

    Hi! I've been around fish/Aquariums for years, but this is my first Cichlid tank and I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. The tank I'm using is a 72g bowfront. I just finished a homemade 3D background. I'm going the Mbuna route due to their smaller size and bright colors. For...

    What light is this?

    I was just given a 72 (I think) gallon bow front tank with a stand. All in perfect condition except the top brace of the tank is broken (working on fixing that). With the tank, I was given a huge light that houses 4 fluorescent lights and is extremely bright. It has 3 plugs total. One is for the...

    I have a 29g planted tank 2 hob filters (50 and a 10), parameters are 0's across the board and a handfull of other fish who are seemingly healthy. My light is on from sun up to sun down (follows sun pattern). I'm doing 30%-45% water changes weekly. I have 2 Dwarf gourami who seem to be doing...

    Betta Fin rot keeps returning

    I purchased a Betta a little over a month ago that began to show signs of fin rot within the 2nd day of having him. He became very lethargic, always hid, never ate, and had small white dots at the tip of his fin. His fin was becoming smaller by the minute (it seemed). I purchased Bettafix which...

    Aqueon Quietflow filter change

    I have a 29g that is fully cycled and fully stocked. I'm running an Aqueon Quietflow 20 and a 50 that is filtering the tank. The 20 has been running for about a month, and the 50 for about a week. The Quietflow's come with a red LED light that is supposed to blink when the filter needs to be...

    Do I have to go open top with Fluval light?

    I just brought home a Fluval Aquasky LED light. I have it set up, but based on how it's constructed it appears as though I have to keep an open top? Am I missing something? Thank you. EDIT: This is for a 29G Aqueon tank which came with a solid black top

    Back at it with a whole new outlook

    I've always had an aquarium in my houses since I was a child and it wasn't until about a month ago that found out about the cycling. I've always kept the fish in the bag for 10 min, then dropped them in and never thought twice about it all while mixing random fish together in the tank. I've...
