So it's been a while since I've posted here, probably a few years... anyway, had some kids and stuff since then which left my tank under less care than previously. I basically just did weekly water changes with not much else. I'm finally getting back to the grind however, bought a new filter...

Hello all, So recently my tank is beginning to become victim to this nasty slime algae, I don't know what it is, where it came from, or how to get rid of it :( I think it originated on my log and started to spread. I vacuum it up pretty much once a week but it comes back only a few days...

Hey all, so I'm making the transition to saltwater and want to start with a nano. I know they say start larger, but I lack space and I really love nano aquariums. So first off I'd just like to share what my thoughts were and also ask a few questions! So far I have this as my "stock" list: Tank...

So I'm thinking of adding 2 or 3 new fish to my 29 gallon planted soon, currently I have a tiger barb, 2 mollies, cory catfish, 2 glofish, a mystery snail, a red tail shark, an albino frog, and 3 black phantom tetras. I really like fish that stay in "schools" like the glofish and tetras. I know...

So my tiger barb recently developed white spots on his fins and around his eyes (see pic). I can't tell what it is and if it is Ich, what's the best way to treat it in a planted tank where raising the temp much about 80 isn't really possible. Thanks!

Sorry for yet another algae question, but this one is not one I found while searching, though I partially found the answer! So I have a fairly heavily planted tank which recently had an outbreak of green algae, after reading and testing, I found out both my phosphate and nitrate levels were way...

So after a lot of reading on the forum I think I'm gonna ditch the carbon in my Tetra EX45 HOB filter. In retrospect I probably would've gotten a canister filter for my tank (planted fairly well), but such is life. My question is, what should I replace the carbon with? I've seen mention of floss...

So we have a Betta who was doing fine and dandy in his 2.5 gallon aquarium until the dog decided to run across the floor at 1000 mph for no reason and slide right into the stand the fish was on and knock it all over the floor. The bowl shattered obviously but we recovered the fish immediately...

Hello all, So my planted tank has some very poor looking plants in it, brown dying leaves, etc. I'm wondering what could be the cause. I do have two plants (not sure what they are) that seem to be thriving (in atatched pic the long ones in the back right and the pine tree looking ones in the...

Well I'm kind of a noob to the aquarium world, I have a 29 gallon planted aquarium right now with several fish. Ran into a lot of algae problems initially and some of my plants look like crap, but hey I'm trying! Anyway, I'm here to learn more about reef/saltwater tanks as I'd like to start...
