    Hey All, I recently build a canopy for my new tank. I had a normal sit on top of the tank light that I attached to the inside of the canopy using some strong metal wire. What do you guys use?

    Stands

    Hi, I have a 36 gallon wooden stand that I bought from Big Als awhile back. I'm not upgrading to a 75 gallon - can I just put a piece of good hard wood on top of my current stand to increase the length of it without having to spend the money to buy a bigger stand? Will it be strong enough...

    Cleaner Shrimp Molt

    My cleaner shrimp has molted for the first time. Do I remove his skeleton from the aquarium or will he/hermit crabs end up eating it for nutrition?

    Curious - Aquaclear 20

    In my 5 gallon tank I run an Aquaclear 20 on the back with all 3 "pouches" in the chamber. Should this be changed to LR Rubble or something or is everything ok? Just wanted to know before I upgrade tomorrow to a 10 / 20 - depending what's available.

    Going bigger.

    Currently I have a 5 gallon s/w with about 10lbs of LR sitting in a spot where I would like to upgrade it to a 15/20 gallon - something in the range of 27 inches long. How do I do this? There is one fish and one coral. Do I drain some water, lift it up (since its 5 gallon it cant be too heavy)...

    Java Moss!

    How come it wont grow for me! I have my java moss in two tanks now and although it's green it just doesn't root and doesn't spread out, I suppose because it's not rooting. Like I can lift it up as if I just put it in the tank. It's been in one 5 gallon with 10 watts of light for about 5 months...

    What kinda light?

    I have a 10 gallon, 20x10 is the dimensions. What kinda light should I buy for it? I'm going planted for a breeding RCS tank and CO2. Catalina Aquariums isn't an option because shipping to where I live is around 60 dollars when I last asked for another aquarium. Thanks.

    Sponge filters.

    I bought a sponge filter for my 10 gallon tank that I'd like to setup as a breeder for RCS. I also bought a power jet (Maxi Jet 400). I think I have it set up and running, I mean, it's pumping water and all - but I don't know if I did it right. Can anyone tell me how to properly set it up...

    White stuff on pleco?

    My pleco looks like it has a white hump on it's left fin and two on it's right fin. I can't get any pictures now .. but it's just like a really noticable whiteish marking. Looks like something clinging to it.

    Potting soil.

    Can I use a normal black potting soil made for outdoor gardens in my planted aquarium? Also, where can I get pool filter sand? In the GTA the Rona's, Home Depots, etc. don't sell it.

    Hey everyone. I have a 38 gallon tank with tetras, a small pleco and a rts and long finned danios. I also have about 500 snails from what it seems!! I know loaches eat snails, but I read you have to keep them in groups and they probably wouldn't get along with my pleco and rts. Anything...

    Plecostomus

    I just bought one for my 38 gallon. I was told they don't eat plants but do a fantastic job with algae. Then I read later today that they do eat plants? What's the truth?

    Fish at the bottom!

    I was wondering why my fish always seem to be swimming at the bottom? I have a RTS, 6 neon tetras, 8 black tetras and I recently bought some long finned danio's 'cause I know they like swimming at the top, but they're not! Everyone is active, just the top part of my tank is so boring because...
