I bought the Zoo med 10 UVB/15 watt strip lamp/ full spectrum. Question: it seems like less light is omitted from this bulb, a blue-er duller light. Is this normal? I was thinking maybe it would be brighter... I tried feeding it a red wiggler and a small mealie worm, no luck, I still have not...

Thanks for all the suggestions...I have raised water temp to 80 f. Purchased the zoo med turtle food. Starting feeding in its tank...Still hasn't gone for it... I bought a zoo med basking bulb, basking temp is 80 f. should I get a higher wattage bulb? Will higher wattage = higher temp? I...

The lighting is a 100 watt bulb on a heat lamp. Also have a 10 gallon sized florescent strip light. It is in a ten gallon. Water temp is 76 f. Lights are off right now. I will record basking temp in AM. Water temp is 76 f.

We bought a baby hatchling Map Turtle at a reptile expo over the weekend. I was told it eats commercial turtle pellets. I bought it Saturday, it is now Monday night and it hasn't eaten yet. I have been placing it in a separate dish to feed. It doesn't take a nibble. I tried Repto-min, small...

I haven't tried this, so I was wondering if when you boil driftwood, does it make it dense enough to sink on it's own? I am used to seeing/using driftwood mounted to slab slate. I currently am using some African driftwood I bought on-line, that sinks on it's own. I have found a piece of...

The one on the left I think I have seen for sale at LFS as "Gold Inca Snail"

Has anyone ever kept Oscar/Oscars with sand substrate? Is it better then gravel? I had one years ago with gravel, fish dug a lot! Had several ornamental rocks that were always dug out and around, with gravel usually found "duned" around the aquarium. Just wondering if sand is advisable or better?

Amazing looking tank! Great job! What type of substrate are you using? What type of lighting/ bulbs?

Thank you for the kind comments! My wife and I are Philadelphia Eagle fans. A few years back I found a seller on E-Bay who would paint aquarium signs with custom messages and kiln it and everything. It was a good/ funny purchase!

That is is one benefit. I also enjoy watching the snails go about their jobs and their esthetic value as well.

No. He is an inhabitant of a community tank. I varied foods... Flake daily... Frozen weekly... Pellets/ algae wafers twice a week. I like the snails to survive. The clown seems to have a different agenda!

Hello, l have 6 inch clown loach. I buy apple snails, gold inca snails, large mystery snails, etc etc, about two a month... Their fates all become the same, they end up eaten by the Clown Loach. My question is, is there a variety/breed of snails that a clown loach WON'T eat? I enjoy and...

i have some pics of my 29 gal. set up i'd like to share.

I have a 29 gallon freshwater tank, running a undergravel filter with 1 aquaclear powerhead. I was going to run a whisper 2 HOB filter in parallel, but when reading the suggestions on the forum site, it seems that Aquaclear HOB is a more popular selection. So, I ditched the Whisper 2, and now I...

I am setting up a 29 gallon aquarium with a perfecto undergravel filter. I am going to be using a power head on the one outlet tube, my question is- do I cap the other outlet tube, or do I set it up with a airstone and air pump? I've never used a power head with an undergravel filter before.
