    Pleco Identification and Plant Safe Algae Eaters

    What kind of pleco is this? It's around 8 inches long and about 3 years old. It seemed to stop growing a year ago but I have no idea if it is the type that gets bigger. He eats and uproots every plant I've ever had except for Java Moss. I'm thinking of donating him to the LFS. Are there any...

    Namco Swimming Pool Liner and Fish

    So I decided to construct a new pond. A big one. About 3500 gallons. I finished the hole late in the season so rather then spend the money on a black pond liner I decided to do something cheaper. I received a Namco Swimming Pool liner for free so I used that for now. I have a UV light and the...

    Oceanic Bio Cube replacement Ballasts

    I've had my 29 gallon Bio Cube for about nine months and both Ballasts went. Now my fish are in the dark. I can't find the receipt so I can't take it back to the store. Is there anyway I can find a replacement. I can't find them anywhere?

    Replacing bio balls with live rock

    Hey everybody. I have a planted 29 gallon bio cube and I'm using the stock bio balls. I've seen posts all over the net of people taking out the bio balls, adding a small wattage light to the bio ball chamber and adding live rock to make a fuge. They say that it works better than the plastic bio...

    Moss Balls Breaking up

    I have a couple moss balls floating around in my 55 gallon. I've had them for about 2 months now. They say that moss balls don't require any special light or CO2. They also say that algae eating fish don't touch them. Well, two of my (moss) balls have turned lighter in color (parts have browned)...

    CO2 with Bio Wheels???

    I have a 55 gallon Angel tank with two penguin 350 bio wheels. I'm having some CO2 issues and right now the only source of carbon my plants are getting is from Seachem Excel. There has to be a better/inexpensive way without moving to a canister with a pressurized CO2 system? Any suggestions??

    Ground Cover Plant Subtrate Recomendations

    My first planted tank used standard medium gravel with nothing else. All I did was add Flourish twice a week and my plants did just that.....flourished. For my second venture I'm looking into getting some harder to grow plants with some nice foreground cover like glosso, micro sword and other...

    Any Experience with the Coralife Aqualight Pro setups?

    I'm looking to upgrade my planted tank lighting. The Coralife Aqualight Pro setups are super expensive but they seem great. I saw a 300 gallon planted setup with a 72" version hanging from above at my local aquarium supply store. It was breathtaking. A small MBU Puffer, Red Tail Shark, Pleco...

    The Oceanic Bio Cube

    I don't have any experience with an all in one aquarium set up. I've seen the Marineland Eclipes units in the past but never picked one up. I'm thinking about getting an additional smaller aquarium for the bedroom but I'm a little torn. Oceanic came out with the Bio Cubes and they seem like nice...
