So I dont how how it happened. But basically in my dream, fish came in plastic wrapped containers (kind of like toy cars come in, in that hard plastic). And for them to breath there was a tiny whole on the top that allowed air in but the water couldn't get out. I know it makes no sense, but...

If anyone has been following my journal you know i only have a 24" 17w light on my tank.. horrible i know. My tank is 36" long but only has a 24" light in the hood. If i can find a ~100w 24" light is that ok? Or should i go for a 36" since that's how big my tank is. Next clean up crew. Well I...

So my plants seem like they are getting devoured.. and I know I have a pond snail or two, but there is a lot of damage, Like leaves missing and getting chewed off at the stem, I do see some holes on some which i think is the pond snails, but I dunno. I see the fish nipping at the plants here...

Right now I have air coming from just the corner of my tank from a strip, as seen here google failed to answer my question, so I was wondering. Is this good or bad. I seen it in someone elses planted tank, but I do not know the benefits / the detriments. I was thinking the benefits because...

And my filter might of claimed another life in my fish tank.. this time.. my mystery snail. I went to check my beautiful tank and I see him on the end halfway sucked in.. I turned the filter off and slowly pulled him out. He did however put his little protector over himself, so he MIGHT still...

So I do not know why, but I get more excited when people get things then when I do. Like I LOVE seeing posts of people getting a great deal on something or if they just got a new fish. I get oddly excited. I guess it could be envy, but it is general excitement. Would have to say seeing peoples...

Well I recently got a 10g tank I was planning on using as a QT tank, but realized.. I wont be getting anymore fish for a while. And I know its a good thing to keep just in case a fish gets sick but anyway. I am setting up my 10g for my MTS to breed like crazy. I was wondering, I currently have...

Well I have room under my main tank, that I could easily put a 5g tank. I was thinking of putting a 5g tank, hang on the back filter and a small heater. I was wondering, do you always have that running, even if you are not using it for weeks? I guess you would because you have to keep the...
