    30 Gallon Planted Pictures

    I'm looking for more fish, is there any fish besides a Puffer that I can get that would enjoy them and make my tank look cool, besides picking them out?

    30 Gallon Planted Pictures

    I just took a couple of pictures to update this thread but I have a problem and I think it could get worse. How do I control snails? They are really little and they seem to multiple, not very fast yet but I have counted 5 this evening, so that means 5x 5x5x5x5=LOTS quick. Any ideas? PS. Will...

    30 Gallon Planted Pictures

There is a 100% florite substrate in the bottom. There is as follows on plants. 2 - Radican Swords 1 - Red Rotala 2 -...

    Trial Tank for bigger one with Florite

    Hey Guys! Been awhile since I posted my last dumb question. I am in the process of starting up a 30 gallon planted tank as a test run before my big 55 gallon. I have 2 bags of Florite as the only substrate, is this ok? It's going to be a medium light setup with plants and fish. I have a...

    Unknown Fish Identification

    Thanks for the input. They are about 3 inches long and colored blue, redish brown and about 1/4" to 1/2" wide depends on which on you look at. They are really really active and sometimes they splash the surface of the water.

    Unknown Fish Identification

    This is a school of about 10 fish in this tank. Does anyone know what it is? It's in a tank with a Convict Chiclid and they all get along great.

    Tank Teardown and Chemical Lesson

    Thanks for the words of encouragement. I also posted for others that might want to share their experiences which you have all done. I am glad to hear that I am not the only person that just setup a tank and watched the fish. I am not giving up the hobby by all means, in fact I was given a 55...

    Tank Teardown and Chemical Lesson

    * Not to follow lessons below I have 3 different tanks and moved 3 times with all my fish and have never had as many problems. I do waterchanges every few months and complete tank tear downs every 6 months. I have managed somehow to keep the same fish for 4 years until the last 3 weeks. Upon...

    Moonlights? What is the purpose?

    I have read quite a bit on this forum of everything and then I come across more information and I have to start all over again. This one just stumps the heck out of me. Is moonlighting more of an effect preference or does it serve a purpose? Is it for freshwater or just salt water reef/ coral...

    55 Gallon Weird Corner

    After reading alot in the last couple of hours I have come to the conclusion that this tank I have been given is a salt water tank all the way. I am converting it to a fresh water tank and will use the "sump" or "trickle-filter" for an extra area in the tank to add water to the tank so I don't...

    55 Gallon Weird Corner

    The sponge was really gross in the bottom. It doesn't move at all. From the looks of yours the water goes in a slot in the bottom and out the top at the holes. I will have to get better pictures tomorrow but the one I have is solid glass on 2 sides and there is slits on the 2 sides for water...

    55 Gallon Weird Corner

    It's funny you should ask that question. No I don't but I will tell you that the water once it gets above 3 inches in the tank will fill that section and stay the same height all the way up. It has a small slit where the glass doesn't touch completly for about 6-8 inches up on 2 sides, the side...
