Im trying to start a small little 1/2 gallon tank thatll be low maintenance with plants around my local area. Im not too sure what these are but theyre definitely carpeting around the wall of my front yard. That area doesnt get too much light, just seems kind of moist. I wouldnt be using...

So Ive had a 2.5 gal for about 3 months now and i havent put anything there as after it was done cycling (I waited about 1 and half months) I noticed algae and bought some algae remover that weekend. The algae definitely has been dying, about 95% is all white but its just staying there. Ive had...

I've had a fluval 5 gal for a couple of months now and it keeps the nitrate a d nitrite levels at a constant 0 so Im pretty sure there isnt a bacterial bloom of that kind. I dont have any pics on hand at the moment but the water is just really really cloudy. Ive only kept 2 snails in it since...

Ive had this tank planted for a while and nothing seems to really be doing that well except a few plants in there. Im pretty sure Ive made some bad choices for a few of the plants in there so if anyone could tell me what they think would work well in there please let me know. I dose flourish...

Ive got some peacock moss in my 5 gallon tank and admittedly the conditions are not ideal as its very warm where i live, but some of it died off and some didnt. Ive noticed white stringy stuff attached to it and I was wondering if anybody could tell me what it is and how i could get rid of it...

So ive had these plants for a couple of weeks and some are concerning me. My s repens were grown out of water and i was told that they would melt a little at first but im not sure if this is the case at this point. They seem to be doing a more than melting just a little. Also my buce flora looks...

Ive had some s repens in a small tank with good substrate packed with nutrients and ive been dosing flourish excel and flourish trace. Its been in here for about a week and looks like its dying. Anyone know why?? Pottasium shortage, iron shortage? My light is 11 watts for a 5.5 gallon tank and...

Sorry to ask this but my dad doesnt like me spending all my money on liquid ferts so hes making me ask. Can you use potassium supplements for human consumption instead of something like seachem or other brands? I know finding the correct dossage may be difficult but he doesnt really care -_-...

I've got some dwarf baby tears coming in soon and I just found out that its much easier to plant them in finer gravel, which is sort of an issue for me. I don't really have the budget to buy black sand at the moment so I was wondering if crushing up substrate to make it finer would work for...

I have a fluval spec v and accidently cracked the front panel on the top. Do i need to replace or simply not fill the water to that level?

Hey, so I have a 5 gallon tank thats almost done cycling and is pretty well planted. I know this is kind of last minute thinking but any good ideas for fish that could be in a community tank? I like the concept and it seems doable but harder in this size. Id appreciate any fish suggestions, thanks

So i have a fluval 5 gal and got some plants that need decent light, some aurora aurora, belindale, black angel, anubias nana petite, tiger lotus, and dwarf hairgrass. How many watts for a light would be good for them? Like not just ok, but good so they can thrive

Hey I'm Brendan, a 15 year old kid lookin to get into the hobby of planted freshwater aquariums. I started taking an interest in this about a year ago when I got my first small little tank and now I want to get a little more serious so I got a Fluval Spec V. (pricy but aesthetic).
