So, I have been fishless cycling my tank for a while now (a few weeks to a month, haven't really kept track of dates) and am done cycling and am ready to add fish, or so I thought. For one reason or another, I put my aquascaping off and off, and am at that point where my water is ready for...

Probably going to pick up a new 55 Gallon tomorrow; it is a slightly smaller size than I was planning, but the deal may be too good to pass up. This, of course, completely changes everything lol. So, I ask; stocking suggestions and ideas, anyone? I kind of want to go with predominantly New...

Trying to find some equipment for some new setups I am working on in the new apartment; have only found maybe one or two RO Units so far in the last week or so. This one is going for a 100 dollars: 60 gpd Max Hi S R.O. Unit, R.O./Water Purification | PetSolutions Good or bad deal? Should I...

In everybody's experience, what is the best test kit? I have used API in the past, but I have heard that Salifert and Instant Ocean test kits are superior. Is there really a noticeable difference in accuracy? And does this difference in accuracy come with a substantial difference in price as...

I just got a 29 Gallon Saltwater from a friend and it came with a MarineLand Canister Filter; H.O.T Magnum Pro rated for 55 Gallons; however, it did not come with a Protein Skimmer, so I am now in the proccess of looking for one. How important are they? I'd imagine this may or may not depend...

Hey guys; I was looking at tanks today and found a few used tanks that caught my eye. At one of the places that sells used tanks I found they sell a lot of tanks a dollar per gallon; this resulted in me finding a 75 glass for $75, a 150 glass for $150 dollars, a 75 Acrylic for $75 dollars, and a...

Hey guys; right now I have a 10 gal and a 29 gal concurrently, however, after becoming a little more financially secure, I am about to take the step up to a slightly larger aquarium, ideally in the shape of a 55 or a 75 gallon tank. After shopping today I found some pretty okay deals on 55...

Hi guys; right now I am keeping a Pearl Gourami in a 10 gallon setup -- he is a juvenile right now, but I anticipate hopefully moving him to a 29 gallon if/when that becomes financially doable, because I am aware that the 10 gallon might end up a little cramped in the long run. However, for...

Hey everybody; I am currently dealing with a problem that I have had very little experience with thus far in the hobby. I have been in the proccess of setting up and cycling a new/old 10 gallon tank. Now, everything is going pretty normal despite the speed bumps of finding out that my tap water...

I just typed a really long message and it didn't go through, so here is the abbreviated and condensed version. New 10 gallon aquarium; took gravel and water from an already established and fully cycled aquarium with ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate readings of 0 in order to hopefully snag some...
