This stuff has been growing in patches on my gravel for the past few weeks. I gravel vac all of it up that I can see, and it just keeps coming back. I'm fairly sure it's not food or anything left considering I don't feed flake to my tank, but I've never seen anything like this in 2+ years. My...

Thank you all. The desk has had larger aquariums on it in the past (used specifically as a tank stand) so I don't have any concerns about the desk. The integrity of the tank, glass and seams was what I was worried about. So I'm going to have to figure out another place to put it i guess :)

I have a 20L tank that I'd like to set up on my computer desk, however there just isn't enough room for the tank and monitor to both be on the desk fully. However, if I leave about 5 inches of the tank hanging off the side of the desk, I can fit everything. Will this stress the tank over time...

I currently have a Rena XP2 as my main filter on my 55G tank. Due to the setup of the tank, I don't really have any room for a HOB style filter nor do I have room for another large canister like filter. I'd like to have a diatom filter though to polish my water up a little bit and kill off...

I just finished setting up a 20Long brackish tank. Right now it's not planted but I have one mollie and 4 bumblebee gobies. They all get blackworms as food once every 2 days. The SG of my tank is at 1.008 and all of my fish are doing just fine! The gobies are extremely entertaining to watch...

My 20L is 30" long. And as for the paintball canisters, I have so many extra adapters laying around from my paintball guns I already have the necessary pieces to adapt a standard regulator to my tanks. I however did just see the milwaukee all in one setup and I'm considering that if I decide...

If I were to do the DIY setup, would I be able to follow the instructions at the Age of Aquariums, which in a nutshell is sealed 2 liter + hose + airstone? And how would I go about verifying that the proper amount of Co2 is in my tank?

Yeah. I looked around and saw a CF single bulb setup w/ night LED for like 60-70 bucks that puts out 65 watts, which is a little over 3 WGP for my setup. I think I'm gonna save up and go for that one. If I'm getting plants that need the high light requirements, they sound like they'll need...

So I should probably just look into getting a higher output lighting system (either CF or VHO type lighting?), or are there high watt bulbs I can get for the basic florescent strip I've got?

I'm pretty sure my thinking on this is sound for now, but I want to double check anyways. I have a 20L brackish tank that I'm considering planting. I've already decided on some Java moss and Java fern, b/c they're low light low maintinance and can tolerate brackish. However, I'd like other...

I've got an Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Freshwater Master test kit. I've been using it on my 55 gal. community tank with no problems. However, I've had a brackish tank set up for a while, and I'm wondering if the freshwater kit can be used with the brackish water, or do I need to buy the...

Thank you for the plant info guys! I will do a PWC today, I'm thinking about 25% today and 25% tomorrow. I'm keeping the salinity constant at roughly the 1.007, waivering no more than +/- .001. I test the salinity before I put the water into the tank. My test kits are around 7 months old...

I've been attempting to cycle a 20Long brackish tank since late may of this year. This is my first attempt at a brackish tank, but not at freshwater, as I've done both a 10 and a 55 in the past year. First off, I had to move the tank about 2 weeks into the cycle from my downstate home to my...

I used hot glue in my tank to put a "flow restrictor" of sorts on my AquaClear 70. It's been there for two months now, submersed in water, and it hasn't shown any signs of budging. As background for why I have it there, my filters (I have two on my 55 gal. tank) are hung on the sides of the...
