I set up a 15 gallon tank as a paludarium a few months back and had a pump delivering water to a couple of water features in the land section. Unfortunately I wasn't thinking and ran the water return line through a brass ball valve which of course contains copper. I did have about 6 RCS in...

Hey, You guys think I should use silicon or epoxy to attach tiles of natural cork bark to the inside of the acrylic tank I'm using? The tiles will be 90% above water, but there will be a portion of it that stays wet. Thanks, Ryan

Hey Everyone, I've got a 15 gallon acrylic tank that I'll be turning into a paludarium in a few weeks. I'm drawing up the plans and putting together a list of materials now, but I have a few questions you guys can hopefully help me out with. I'm going to have a sort of in-tank sump running...

Hello, I just started up a medium light / medium tech planted tank, and I had a few questions. I've got the Current USA Satellite Freshwater LED + running on the tank, and according to manufacturer specifications this puts out 36 PAR at 12" . My substrate is slightly less than 12" away from...

Hello, I have a decently well established 2.5 gal freshwater bowl (~6 months old, seeded with substrate, rocks, and driftwood from a tank that had been set up for ~12 months). The bowl has no active filtration, just some moderate but consistent aeration and a PWC every 10 to 14 days. I only...

I have a moderately heavily planted 17 gallon tank. I currently have 4 zebra danios, 4 rummynose tetras, 8 red cherry shrimp, and 2 rescues from my sisters old tank (a neon tetra and a female guppie, obviously not ideal). I do have a lot of narrow leaf chain sword in the foreground, some Moss...

Looking for about 10 to 20 of them shipping to NY.

I recently moved and downsized a planted 75 gallon into a 15 gallon seamless, and then traveled with the 15 gallon. There are 2 cardinal tetras and 2 rummynose tetras that made it. Needless to say it didn't go as well as I had hoped. During the move I think I really disturbed the bacterial...

First week of first planted tank Can I trim this giant hairgrass a bit or will that kill the leaves?

I'm starting up a high tech planted tank but going slow. I have a 3 bulb fixture (54 watts T5ho each bulb) over a 75 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I won't be getting co2 for a few weeks, I'm just doing with excel right now. I have an amazon sword, anacharis, a moss ball, and some spiral...

Looking for a plant that can be attached to driftwood and dangle down towards the bottom of the tank. Anything like this exist? I'll have high light and CO2 with EI dosing, just planning it out.

I have 3 angel fish and a bristlenose pleco as of right now. I also have 5 amano shrimp to help keep the algae under control. I just received my 48" 3-bulb T5HO fixture but I'm only running one bulb now as I don't have the CO2 setup yet, and I only have an amazon sword and a couple small...

I'm slowly building a 75 gallon heavily planted freshwater tank. I have a 75 gallon all glass aquarium with a custom built 20 gallon sump underneath (with a 6.5 gallon refugium). I just finished cycling the tank without any inhabitants, and over the past few weeks have been making small...

I'm fishless cycling a 75 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I'm looking to eventually be able to grow pretty much whatever I want in the DT. I plan on getting CO2 set up in early-mid June, and I plan on dosing ferts with the EI method. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with T5HO, as it seems...

Hey, I've got a 75 gallon with a 20 gallon sump. The tank was just started on a fishless cycle yesterday, and I don't have any cover for the tank or sump yet. I have a 1" PVC overflow that is teed and then ball valved. The tee splits the pvc into my wet/dry filter and my refugium. Water...

I have a 75 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I'm looking for a fixture for the display tank and I want something that will give me the ability to maintain medium to high light plants. I eventually plan on running a CO2 injection system and dosing with fertilizers when I get there. I just...

Just started cycling a 75 gallon freshwater tank. I have a 20 gallon sump and plan on planting pretty heavily and eventually (within 2 months) running CO2 injection with ferts. I also want to breed some dwarf cichlids, as well as keep a good variety of other community fish. I've never had a...

I've kept aquariums for a long time with a couple of slowly failing plants. I want to finally do it right. I plan on setting up a 55g medium to high light planted tank with CO2 injection. I'll be stocking dwarf new world cichlids so I'll have soft neutral to slightly acidic water. Does anyone...

I'm setting up a 55g freshwater tank with a 20g sump. I plan on gradually getting to medium to high light plants running CO2. I would also like to breed these fish. I'm here looking for stocking suggestions, male to female ratios, and total number of fish I can have. So far from what I can see...

Alright I just modified the stand of a 55 gallon tank to accommodate a sump of 12" wide. This really opens my options and I think I'll be going with a 20 long. Now that I have this plan finalized I can figure out exactly what pump and size holes to drill, etc. I'm thinking a Mag 7 since at 4...

I'm working on a 55 gallon planted freshwater tank. I'm getting it drilled and will be running a sump, hopefully wet/dry and a refugium. The most cost effective way for my situation is to have two 5 gallon tanks drilled and run them both as sumps. Has anyone done this? Are there any problems I'm...

I'm setting up a 55 gallon freshwater planted tank. I want to build a sump with a refugium and the tank is not drilled so I'm going to use an external overflow box. I also plan on eventually upgrading to a 155 so i dont want to have to buy everything twice. I would like to use a pump, overflow...

Plans for my 155g fell through so it looks like I'm going to be keeping this new 55g for a while. I plan on using a sump (is 10g about right?) as well as having it relatively heavily planted. Does anyone have any suggestions for fish that can thrive in a 55g and that don't bother plants too...

So I've been looking for a 125g on craigslist to stock with new world cichlids as well as various plants and appropriate tankmates. I also plan on using a sump system in this 125. My roomate is upgrading to a 90g soon so I can get his 55 for a good price. I'm looking to get the 125 in 3 or 4...
