Hey, So, about two years into FW Community fish keeping and all still running nice and healthy. I have been looking into making a step to African Cichilds but my only concern or should I say Question is... My Tap / Tank PH is flat at 7.0 and I've been reading about mixing PFS with Crushed...

So, after a 3 months of having 2 pairs of Bolivian Rams.. Taadaa! It all started about a month ago, when doing a PWC, the rams were attacking the Python. I stopped and noticed alot of eggs and realized the pair were protecting their eggs. The eggs disapeared after a few days without any frys...

So, a while back I posted pictures of my 20G & 60G. Here are some updated pictures. First two pictures are my 20gal 4 months ago & now, Last two pictures are my 60gal 4 months ago & now.

Hey, I have a tank with some Gouramis, Cory cats, Oto's & Danios and was wondering if it was to happen, how would I treat for Ich in a tank with Corys & Oto's ? I don't have Ich, but it's just something I would like to be prepared for in case it did happen. Would it be better to remove the cats...

Hello. So, I purchased 3 Apistos about 3 weeks ago from the LFS, while 2/3 did not show their colors at all I had my doubts that they were not feeling too good. They were also breathing really fast. They were hiding in their caves most of the time, but eating so I let them be and thought they...

Here is a few pics of my 60gal Tank:

Hey, So I am upgrading my established (planted) 10gal to a 20gal that I've had for a while (new). Here is what i was planning on doing for the first couple weeks. I was going to transfer 100% of the substrates, filters (x2) & plants over to the new 20gal. My question was, should I take the...

Hey All! Finally, after 2 long months, the tank has finally cycled (After crashing once) but helped after using media from my established Tank. I've done my big PWC and now ready for some Fish!... I was thinking of adding fish in this Order.. About 1 week apart 8 Zebra Danios (Love to watch...

Ok, so my 60Gal is at the end of it's Fishless Cycling. Now is the time to start thinking about what I will be stocking it with. It is somewhat heavily planted with Low Light plants (Doing very well) and I have gravel as substrate. Temp is kept at 77-78 by a 200W stealth. I am using a Eheim...

So today as I was enjoying my plants in my 60 Gal tank that is near the end of a "fishless cycling", I noticed a little fry swimming in the background. My first thought.... Impossible? I have a established 10Gal with Danios and heavily planted and had to transfer one plant that was getting way...

Picture of my 10gal planted with 6 Danios, 4 Bamboo shrims & plenty of snails. Also, a picture of my 60gal planted. It is in it's last phase of fishless cycling with only few days left. Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0.50, Nitrates 10 Can't wait to stock it.

Hey, My 60 gal is entering it's 5th week (Fishless Cycling) and my Nitrates have been driving me crazy. My Ammonia are reading .25 Nitrites are reading 1 My Nitrates go from 10 to 40 to 80 within 24 hrs. Ex: Wednesday they were at 10, Thursday back to 40, Friday 10 and today...

Today, reading the back of the bottle confused me. It says: To Remove chlorine and detoxify heavy metals: Add 1ml per 20 Gal. To detoxify chloramines (break the chloramine bond): Add 1ml per 5 Gal. I am on city tap water. I've always used the 1ml per 5gal formula on my 10gal, but I am...

Alright, I have made a mistake by taking "Big Al's" advice on cycling my 60Gal with 6 Danios in. After trying for 4 weeks, I am starting to think that these Danios will never make enough of a Bio-Load on the size of Tank, and I have decided to switch to a Fishless after reading so many posts on...

Just wanted to make sure I am doing this right. When I do PWC (approx 35%) weekly, on my 10gal tank, I treat the entire 10gal, and not just the 3.5gal that I am replacing. ?? right??

Ok, I am still sorta new to Aquariums. A lil' about how it started. The wife decided to show up one day (about 6 months ago) with two Betta Fish in 2 bowls. After each day, cleaning the bowls, I went out and purchased a 10Gal Tank with a Separator. Ran the tank for 24 hrs and put the fish in...

Hello All! Well, this all happened last weekend. In my smaller 10Gal Tank, I had been keeping 2 Male Betas (Yes, with a separator) & each had their own 10Gal Filter. The Betas were kept with a Rock Shrimp (x1). They had been living in the same environment for about 6-7 months. About 3 weeks...
