I just posted an add for aquarium lighting. Should I get something in the 150 watt range? Thanks

Hi, I have a 55 gallon right now. I have a whole bunch of hornwort, two java ferns, a amazon plant plant, and an anubias. The anubias lost a major leaf. First it turned yellow, then it turned brown. The Java fern's leaves are slowly turning brown, then are dying. The sword plants leaves...

Hi, I got a 30 gallon on craigslist, and it appears to have a leak. I haven't put fish, or anything in that matter, in it right now, so I should be ok. The leak is in the bottom corner. It appears that they tried to fix it once, as their is silicon where the leak is. After looking at it, my...

Alright thank you very much.

Thanks so much for your help. It will really help me out. Do you remember the size of bio-wheel you got? Thanks for your help again, really appreciate it.

Hi, I have a Marineland Penguin 300 filter, and I was wondering if you could help me out. The filter is discontinued. I got it for free on craigslist, so I guess I can't complain, but it needs some new parts. Does anyone know if the bio-wheels for the Penguin 350 would work for this filter...

Thanks for your help, but I'm sure I cycled it properly. I don't think it's the problem.

The first fish to die had a heavily-bloated belly from the store. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.

I did cycle it. I tested it heavily after as well. I'll keep up the water changes. My other fish are doing fine. I feel like it may be a swim-bladder disease due to the fish being unable to swim upwards. The reason I feel it isn't ammonia/nitrite poising is the fact that the fish are dying off...

I have a 55 gallon aquarium. I originally had 7 tiger barbs, however, the number is now three. I lost my first barb about three days after I got them. Before he died, he laid near the bottom, breathed heavily, and refused to eat. When he did die, I originally thought it was a swim-bladder...

I plan to create a back-ground made entirely from Hornwort. I have play-sand as a substrate, and I was wondering what works as a anchoring method. Thanks for your help.

Ok, so I have a 55 gallon, going to get plants tomorrow. Attached is my current arrangement of rocks and bog-wood. I have a huge piece of bog-wood that I am currently splitting into smaller pieces (It's too big to fit inside of my tank) and boiling to remove the tannins. The current...

Thanks so much. I will definitely stock gradually. Thanks again.

The cichlids seem peaceful enough for larger shoaling fish like the rainbows and danios. Filtration-wise, would I be over-doing it as well? Thanks again.

I slimmed it down a bit... Would this be ok- Cichlid- 1. 2 Firemouths 2. 2 HDRs Catfish- 1. 2 Synodontis petricola 2. 1 Bristlenose pleco Dither fish- 1. 6 Giant Danios 2. 4 Rainbowfish

I have a 55 gallon aquarium, with a Emperor 400 Power Filter. Right now, I'll I have is 2 Firemouth cichlids, 2 Honduran Red Point cichlids, and a bristlenose pleco. The female firemouth is very peaceful, and the HDRs are very peaceful as well. The male firemouth is aggressive, but not the...

Hi everyone.:D I have a 55 gallon aquarium, currently housing 2 Honduran Red Points, 2 Firemouth cichlids, and a bristlenose Pleco. As far as the territorial aggression of the cichlids, the only real problem is the male firemouth. The female firemouth lets the HDRs within several inches of her...

I have a 55 gallon aquarium with a emperor 400 power filter, providing 80 gallons of filtration, and I was hoping for some advice. Ok, so right now, I have these fish- 1. 1 Firemouth 2. 2 Honduran Red Points 3. 1 Bristlenose pleco Petsmart has a "10 fish for $10" sale going on right now, and...

I have a 55 gallon right now, with a bristlenose pleco, 2 Honduran Red Points, and a firemouth. I plan to add two more firemouths and some kind of catfish. What are some ideas of a shoaling dither fish for the cichlids? Thanks for your help.

This plan is probably impossible, but I'll still ask- 1. 1 Jack Dempsey 2. 1 Convict 3. 2 Firemouth 4. 1 Honduran Red Point 5. 2 Pictus cats

I was thinking about some of the larger species. Sorry about asking about the plecos not hiding, I realized it may be impossible to have one not hide. I would do the dwarfs, but locally, they are not available. I was thinking about mixing some of the larger cichlid species. I really like...

I have a 55 gallon, it's about half-way done with cycling. I have a piece of driftwood and several rocks in there right now. I have a total of 4 caves, 3 with the rocks, 1 with the wood. It has a sand bottom, and I plan to add java ferns and moss. I have a emperor 400 Power filter as well...

I could imagine you get this question all the time. I have been searching for at least a hour on the internet (On several different forums) to find information on this, but I couldn't find anything suitable for me. Thank you very much for all of your help. I have a 55 gallon aquarium with a...
