Lookin to replace my dying filter for my 55g. I have a very limited budget of about 50 bucks. Anyone have any suggestions? Was looking at an emperor 400 but if anyone has a different suggestion I'd like to hear it. Thank you.

Okay as you can tell by my signature I have two empty tanks right now. Both have been set up and running, I just wanted some change so I gave my fish to some of my friends who have established tanks. I was thinking maybe having juli's in my 38 gallon and have a breeding colony or something...

I currently have an Emperor 400 (the bigger one) that seems to be making way too much noise. The flow adjustment knob rattles and shakes and a lot of sounds seems to be coming from the impeller or something. Any help or suggestions would be very appreciated.

How do I get rid of algae on floating plant roots without damaging the roots? I have watersprite (I think) that has some real goopy aglae coating the roots in my 55. I try getting it off but it seems nearly pointless cuz it just doesnt want to come off :(

This past week while at work I was taking out the trash. No big whoop. I brought the giant trash can from in front of the stor to round back to the dumpsters. The trash was really heavy and I was tired so I took some of the bags of trash out to make it lighter to flip up and into the dumpster...

My German rams laid another batch of eggs last night....they didnt survive till moring. My rams arent making for very protective parents. I gotta get a heater for my 20 gallon so they can spawn in there

Went to local pet store the other day and picked up a Clown Pleco for my 55 cuz it was smallest and cheapest one (other cool species were like 25 and the common ones get humungo) and I saw a wolf fish. I think these guys look wicked cool. I did a little reading and they say they grow up to 20"...

Earlier this month I had posted about a 55 gallon aquarium at skool that looked like pea soup. I did a 50% water change and came in to skool two days later and the tank is fine. Since then the tank has gone back to pea soup. I took a sample of the water from the tank and the faucet. Nothing in...

Hey everyone, Do you think Feeder Goldfish that are about 2.5 inches long would eat Zebra Danio eggs? We're breeding them ni my bio class and was wondering if I should take them out or not and as for the Danios has anyone tried putting some sort of a grate on the bottom of the tank to let the...

The breeding tank I have set up in my bio class that will soon contain Zebra Danios and a pair of Kribensis has 64 watts of lighting on the tank. Would Java Fern and Water Sprite survive? I have alot of water sprite that I could put in it but Im not sure if it would survive... :?
