Does any one know why all of a sudden I am getting black mold on my driftwood? This has happened 2 times now. The first time I bleached the wood. soaked it in a heavily dechlorinatoring salutation for several days. I tested it for chlorine and it tested 0. I added it back into my tank, and...

Call me crazy, but I am seriously thinking about making some caves and hiding spots out of legos. There is a ton of legos on ebay for sale. Has anyone tried this? If so does it work, and how did you do it?

I hear it is difficult, but it can be done. Has anyone had success with this? Any advice that you can give would be appreciated highly. I have 11 sharks in a 75g tank. They act like they want to breed during a water change, but I don't see any signs that this has happened. Tanks in advance...LOL

I am not new to aquariums, but I still have a question to be answered. Can pictus cats and otos be tank mates? Just wondering, and wanting to know. Yes I have had pictus before but I haven't mixed them with otos. I do realize that they eat like my mother in law. LOL!!! Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to get colored water with out having algae or colored lights do it for you? Food coloring will just kill the fish. Ay other suggestions? Or is this just a bad idea? Thanks

HI Everyone Has anyone had any experience with substrate heaters? If so what is the best brand in your opinion? How long do they last before burning out? Last, do they keep the aquarium temp at the desired temp, or are they just in addition to a tank heater? Thanks for your responses in...

OK, So what is the skinny on controllers? Which one is the best for the $$? I haven't found yet that has a good review. Either the heater has failed or the controller has failed. I am open to suggestions. Thanks

After the assassin snails have made lunch out of the other snails in my tanks, what do I feed them then? Thanks in advance!!!

It happened. I have a large bloom of brown algae. Now what? I also show ammonia between 2 & 4, nitrite 0 nitrate 5. Is this possible? What is wrong here? It is a 20 long tank. I am using my XP3 filter, yeah I know thats a lot of filter for this tank. I haven't gotten my 75 up and running yet...

20 Gallon Long. This is my forst attempt. What do you think?? :whistle: First I cleaned the glass with alcohol and then wiped it down with liquid deglosser. I used blue painters tape to use for the stencils. I printed the images off of the internet and then cut them out with a single edged...

Is anyone using a reverse osmosis system? Any advice on which one is the best? Thanks

FYI I ordered through Amazon, from Monster Pets, a Freshwater Master Test Kit. I guess someone at Monster Pets is having a little problem with their spelling. What I received was the Saltwater Master Test Kit. They may be interchangeable, but that is not the point. I would like to receive what I...
