    advice on how im taking care of my freshwater tank

    water changes depends on your bioload and the general tank environment. When i had my 55 gallon up and running (it belongs to my ball python now) i did about 30 % water changes weekly to keep my nitrates down. But that was in a low stocked unplanted tank. In my 12 gallon PLANTED tank i probably...

    Help sexing my rams

    so in a male would the anal fin extend PAST the tail fin? and if they are anything like angel fish... angels both male and female have breeding tubes only they are different shapes/sizes... so wouldn't they both have breeding tubes .. the male to deposit sperm and the female to deposit eggs?

    Gravel vs. Sand

    or if you have a planted tank you don't have to vacuum at all ;) i haven't vacuumed mine for about 2 years now.. just water changes and cleaning the filter and the occasional plant trimming. of course i think the aquaclear filter keeps the bottom pretty clean

    Help sexing my rams

    are there any good sites that show a male and female ram with the distinguishing features? i tried yahoo and google but couldn't find anything with some good pictures of males and females. i think it would be awesome if they did breed although i have a male betta in there so it might make it a...

    Gravel vs. Sand

    i absolutely love sand since i tried it in my little 12 gallon. The only problem is light colored sand shows a lot of algae i think when i get my next big tank i will buy some dark sand.

    Killifish?

    they say they are 'peaceful' but just a warning from experience, they WILL eat anything that will fit in their mouth. They wont pick on other fish but i had one in a 55 gallon and he ate all the guppies... just swallowed them whole.

    Help sexing my rams

    Here they are.. sorry some of the pics are kind of blurry. I think Ram1 might be female and Ram2 might be male. so hard to determine becuase they are very young (about 1/2") Ram1 Ram1 Ram2 Ram2 Ram2 Ram2

    12 gallon planted

    I finally learned how to use macro mode on my camera and got some pretty good closeups of my fish. I had a bigger 55 gallon but we took it down to use as a home for our ball python so now all my attention goes to my little 12 gallon planted... at least until i get to purchase my 75 gallon...

    The cycle is finally progressing

    Ive never heard of either of these brands, do they come refrigerated? If not they may not be reliable. Biospira is really the only bacteria product ive ever used that actually works, of course it still might help.

    I give up! Clown loaches are so touchy!

    do you by any chance add any salt to your water? Or what kind of decorations do you have? Once when i had first started i bought 4 clown loaches and treated ich with salt and heat and then they all died... i finally figured out it was the salt that killed them. what kind of water conditioner do...

    The cycle is finally progressing

    definitely take the shrimp out if you already have zebra danios... all the shrimp will do at this point is further pollute the water and cause more stress for the danios... although they are very hardy being exposed to ammonia still burns their gills and can cause premanent respiratory damage...

    Adding Prime to PWC

    I love prime... for fw at least it has always worked awesome for me. I know RO/DI is the best but if you have to dechlorinate id say prime is definitely the best and most economical. It even neutralizes ammonia, nitrite and nitrate that might be present in tapwater and converts it so that it can...

    Let me dbl check what I need

    thanks, it makes sense now. its so weird to think NOT having a filter will make for easier maintenance!!! LOL.

    ordering online is cheaper... but what is the best???

    it makes sense... but the extra filtration can't hurt right? or should i just store away my extra filters and not worry about it. Would i be better off maybe getting 2 protein skimmers (one on each end?) and just have that and liverock? and im still not sure how much output i need from the...

    ordering online is cheaper... but what is the best???
