    New Assassin snails in my tank

    Well about 2 months ago I got an assassin snail and today I was vacuuming and there was probably a dozen small baby assassin snails everywhere. I've been reading that they need female and male, but I only got one. Also anything on how to care for them?

    Rimless nano tank build!

    Well I've always wanted a nice rimless shrimp tank or with nano fish. Now that I've acquired some funds & my LFS has many glass scraps on the cheaps, I think this is the time! I've looked at many resources on what kind & thickness of the glass, I think I can do this. I'm about to stop by the...

    Filling in a 10 gallon.

    So one of my many 10 gallons is done cycling, I know it is going to have ember tetras (maybe a kind of pygmy or CPD's), but what can I add as the main fish? I already have gouramis so I was leaning towards those, but I need input on the kind of gourami. Also a Peacock gudgeon, but I'm not sure...

    What kind of goldfish is this?

    I'm trying to get them from someone, as you can see by the current condition they're in. If they can't go in my tank I have someone who can take them, in a tank or pond. I don't know if they're comet tails or something else, any help?

    White stuff on glass & plants?

    There's this weird white stuff on most of my glass and on the plants. I'm not sure if it's the same thing but it looks similar. On the glass it's stuck and sort of waving with the water flow. On the plants it just covers them, I did a pwc and I took my plants out and they didn't have it. The...

    A 10g, thinking about shell dwelling cichlids?

    So after a broken tank and 99452844 dollars later, I now brought out my old 10 gallon to use instead lol. I really want to have shell dwelling cichlids and from what I've read they require a rather high pH, about 8-8.8. My pH is about 7.5 regularly, so what can I do to raise it? As far as...

    A 29 gallon build thread!

    So I acquired a 29 gallon bio cube a while back. It came with a 300 watt Theo Hydor heater, 2 power heads, and the hood with a 150 watt 14000k metal hallide bulb and 4 purple LED's. I did my research and since it came with the super light, I decided to make it a highly planted tank. I scrubbed...

    CO2 and Oxygen at night

    Okay so to my understanding, during the night tanks that have CO2 require an air pump on them? I have a 29 with just DIY but if I run the pump during the day it will disrupt the co2? It's on a glass diffuser

    Reducing output of pumps/reducing flow?

    So I have a Bio Cube, 29 gallons. I'm using it as a FW because I got it for super cheap, and the light on it is awesome. Now I have soil and sand as a substrate. The flow that comes out disrupts to much and basically isn't needed in a fresh water tank. Is there any way to slow this down or stop...

    Adding ferts under substrate!

    So I was going to start my planted tank and I was wondering how would I add Dolomite and muraite of potash under the substrate. I was thinking just spreading it along the bottom and still keeping the glass visible. Then layering sand on top. Ideas?

    Switching light set up with the same hood! Ideas needed!

    So I have a 28 gallon nano cube salt water tank. It has a 150 watt 14k metal halide bulb on it. I'm planning on using for freshwater and of course this is pretty much useless in this tank. So I was wondering if switching it out for one with 6700k at the same wattage, but this is probably to much...
