What I have: 40watt 20/20 light. 20g Aquaclear HOB filter. 20g Stealth Heater. 10g Tank. What do I need? I'm thinking a FOWLR rock setup. I would like to do a small clown fish with some live rock and maybe a sea anemone or something. Any suggestions on what clown or if there is one small...

So I work at a LFS and my knowledge of salt is limited as my experience resides with freshwater. We have a small saltwater section with most of the basics... live rock, damsels, clowns... ect. I began cleaning the lionfish tank today (with care) and was distracted by a customer for about five...

Hello all, I live in the Tampa Fl area and was wondering what your opinions were on some Fish store in the area? I have had a few bad experiences and a few good and some in between and was wondering what you recommend? Also, if you in the area check out Petland on Watersj(I work there), I know...

I was pondering something today and was wondering what your input is... Generally as a rule of thumb, people don't mix african and south american cichlids. I just sort of accepted this at first. But then I got to thinking... Why? I thought maybe different water requirements such as hardness and...

Right now I have an established 55 gallon aquarium with a 4" long-finned albino oscar. I am upgrading soon to a 90 gallon tank. I was thinking I might add an electric blue jack dempsey. I was wondering if you all had any information on them. Are they the same as regular jacks or do they...

I talked to my boss as the store I am at and asked him why we aren't offering any shrimp besides ghost feeders. And he told me right now they just aren't being offered at the farm he gets everything from. So I asked if I bred them would he give me like 2 bucks a pop because of course he can turn...

I went to a friends house for lunch today and noticed they had gotten a fish tank. Its about 2-3 gallons and its one of the "cutesy" kits you can get from a fish store. She has a dwarf puffer in the tank and has had it in there by itself for about 2 months. When looking at it I noticed it seems...

I finally got my drop checker in from malaysia. When everything was said and done it took over a month, but it was cheap and it wasn't broken when it came lol. I just have a few questions. Mine did not come with a color chart to indicate what colors mean what so I was wondering what color range...

So I finally have a very efficient co2 distribution system going now. I have received two broken diffusers in the mail (thats what I get for going through ebay from malaysia...) But in becoming impatient I fixed one of the diffusers mixed a new batch and presto! the thing looks like it puts out...

I will finally be upgrading from the crappy top fin 10 on my 10 gallon tank to a fluval 105. A while ago I gave up on the crappy carbon filters and put in a sponge first for mechanical and then the water passes through a ceramic pack for biological. Since the filter is not very efficient anyway...

A friend of mine is looking into getting her first tank. She is in love with angelfish of course. I have read up on them, but have no personal experience. What do I need to know? I know they can be aggressive so how big of a tank is good for lets say two full grown angels? Any info is much...

I know in a saltwater aquarium the salt doesn't evaporate with the water. What about nitrates, and ferts? The reason I ask is because with an open top tank I have to replace over a gallon a week. Am I effectively doing a 10% water change or am I leaving that stuff behind?

I have a desk lamp that I was looking at. I'll try and get a picture tonight. The bulb reads 40 watt 120 volt. If I replaced this with a CFL (twirly bulb) could I effectively have an extra 40 watts to put over my tank? Will it be much less efficient than the average aquarium light? Thanks

I'm shopping around for a rimless aquarium I found glasscages but I wanna price shop / look into all my options. What are some good websites you guys have found?

I picked up some silicone to do a DIY co2 project. I had some other things in mind now though, but after reading the back it says not for aquariums. Why is this? is it toxic or just not suitable to use to seal an aquarium?

Somebody who has used Flourish's N fert please translate the foreign language on the back of the bottle telling me how much to use. Lol. How many ml do I need to add to a standard 10g tank to raise 10ppm? Also I noticed the excel has a locking cap. So don't drink this one?... lol

I have had ICH a couple of times now, recently i returned from vacation and found I had an ammonia spike. Anyways, each time ICH has broken out I have done the heat method which had always worked fine. I haven't lost a fish from ICH yet. However, no matter how bad the ICH breaks out or whether...

So i'm going on vacation for a week. My basic stats are in my sig. I got a bit of advice before but i figured i would make a general post for everyone's advice. I am thinking for the 10 gallon planted I will set the lights to 5 hours per day and take the co2 off the ladder to avoid any ph...

I ordered my ferts yesterday and wanna know what kind of dosing schedule you think I should follow? I have K,N,P and trace. 40watts over a 10 gallon. Probably close to 1/3 planted. As if you guys haven't memorized by plants and tank yet by the number of posts I have made. lol

I would like 1-2 female German Blue Rams. 33617. PM how much you want for them. Thanks!

So I picked up a ram today and I'm having trouble sexing it. Its seems to close for me to call! So i'm hiring you guys to help. Here is my current male ram, they don't look anywhere near the same. Thanks for the help

I have had this planted aquarium basics book for a while and was flipping through it today. It suggested a possible solution to the amount of light vs. algae amount ratio problem. It suggests giving your plants like a two hour break inbetween 5 hour photo periods. It said the algae needs a more...

I have been looking into lighting for my next tank and saw a lot of odyessa products on ebay. is this a good brand? what are your experiences with it?

I'm about to order my P, K, N ferts and I was wondering which product I should get for trace? Is there a good flourish one? Freshwater Aquatic Plants in Aquariums: Flourish Liquid Plant Packs I'm getting this enhancer kit. Should I just get the fundamentals kit as well or is there a bottle...

When a diffuser says for a 55 gallon or something like that. Does that mean I shouldn't use it for my 10 gallon? is it to efficient?
