I currently have a 20gal tank with a Fluval submersible filter. It does the job well and is more or less silent. My son's tank is a 10gal with a Aquaclear 20, and it's also very quiet except for the waterfall noise. The actual motor is almost silent. I picked up a 29gal tank today for next to...

Hi everyone! I have this desire to have a Betta in my tank. Dunno why... I guess they're just cool looking fish! Right now I have the following tank... 20gal tall, fake plants, big tree stump looking thing, and now a couple of clay pot caves instead of the bubbling Colosseum pictured in my sig...

Good morning everyone! I have a 20gal tall FW aquarium that's cycling right now. I got it used, and it came with a 24" All-Glass light hood. I thought the bulb was bad, but it turns out it's the ballast. Takes about a minute to start up most of the time. I was going to pick up a new ballast...

Yesterday I picked up a used 20gal tank complete with decorations, light, filter, new gravel, etc. Started cleaning last night, hoping to get started cycling tonight. I've been pondering the fish thing... I was considering getting a big a$$ school of neons or something like that, but we have...

After browsing around here for the last few days, I've got the itch to add another resident to my son's aquarium! Details of the aquarium and its inhabitants are in my sig and also in my profile... Right now there are 8 fish total, all small fish except the bleeding heart tetra. Given the...

Hi all! I've gotten some awesome advice on getting my son's aquarium up and running from this place and thought I would share a few pics! He picked out all the fish, plants, and ornaments and feeds them, helps with cleaning, etc... Not bad for a 4 year old! All of my tetras were being shy and...

I'm thinking about changing the filter in my son's aquarium - info on the tank is in my sig. Right now it just has the basic old Tetra Whisper filter that came with it. It's similar to the PF10, but it doesn't have the "timestrip technology". It uses those white drop-in carbon filters. I do...

Hi all! I'm back! The last time you saw me, I bought my son a 2gal desktop tank that: A) probably had too many fish in it and B) only had UG filtration, so it was a disaster to keep up. We since upgraded to a 10 gallon acrylic tank that fits perfectly on his nightstand. He picked out the...

I posted most of this in the welcome area and it was recommended that I put it here too, so here goes! We have a small 2 gallon TopFin AquaScene aquarium. There are 5 fish in the aquarium... A Fancy Guppy, a Neon, two Zebra Danios and two Rasboras. Everyone has been getting along since the...

Hello everyone! I'm a first time aquarium owner, thanks to my four year old. He wanted one for his b-day so we got him a Top Fin Aqua Scene 2 gallon tank for starters. If he helps take care of it and continues to show interest down the road, we'll end up with something bigger. We've got 5 fish...
