I won a 70 gallon tank/stand/canopy in a raffle yesterday and I wasn't expecting that, to say the least. Usually when I start up a tank I have a plan months in advance as far as stocking goes, but not this one! So, I'm not really sure what to do with it. Suggestions are welcome, though I think...

I'm going to try my hand at a paludarium. Starting with a 10g to get my feet wet (I also had a spare 10g haha) It's going to eventually house a pair of firebelly toads, shrimp, snails, and possibly some fish depending on how the frogs react to them. So far I've got my basic styro siliconed to...

So I have a 20h that currently has 4 apisto borelli and 2 ottos. I need some kind of smallish, mild mannered fish to act as dithers. I don't want neon/cardinals or nippy tetras. I've got a few ideas but I'd like to get some additional suggestions!

I have plans to update the current filtration on my 55 gallon planted tank to a canister filter and would like some recommendations and personal experience with different brands. I really wanted to just get 2 aquaclear 50s but I unfortunately don't have the wall clearance for them. Thanks in...

Hi all. Typically in pretty good at identifying the common fish illnesses, but I was a bit unprepared for this. We went out of town for the weekend and a non-fish keeper took care of the animals while we were gone. I was mostly worried about the saltwater tank, but it seems the freshwater tanks...

So I'm converting my 55gallon tank into a (maybe) high tech planted. I've got the substrate (flourite & eco complete), a new lighting fixture (T5HOs), and this piece of driftwood: on the way. I'm going to keep my existing stock for the tank (four angels, a four line pictus, and a pearl...

Hey Aquarium Advice, long time no see :) The last fish we got was added before Christmas and my mom is starting to flip out wanting a new fish haha. We've got room for probably 1-2 medium sized fish and maybe a tang or two, but I'd like to get some general ideas on stocking. So yeah, any input...

I got a bubble tip anemone for my 125g tank a few days ago. At first it looked fine but shortly after I placed it in the tank it closed up, with it's mouth open and some clear-ish goo came out of it's mouth. After that it opened back up and appears okay. I read that they sometimes do that when...

In my 55g I'm currently running two Top Fin power filter 40s To be frank they're terrible filters and I've been looking to upgrade essentially since I got them over a year ago. Learned a lot about filtration since then and what I ideally should have for this tank and it's inhabitants. I'm most...

Yep just picked up a very nice acrylic 180 view 3.5g tank with LED lights and a 40gph filter for 10$. I wasn't planning on another tank any time soon but I could not pass that deal up haha. Unfortunately the tank has a large crack in it so I'll have to trade the tank in tomorrow. I should have...

Now that my first round of fish is in my 125g I need to get to work on a saltwater QT tank. What size do you use and how is it set up? What size would you recommend? Thanks in advance !

I'm considering buying one but I'd like some feedback from people that own them first hand. :) Did you make any mods to the setup? What fish/inverts do you have in it? What size? Any comments/suggestions? If I get one it'll be the 14g size do to space constrictions. :>

I recently bought a 125g tank, filtration system, stand, and lighting system from an old aquarist on CL. So far I have the stand and filtration, but I'm not picking up the tank until Wednesday. The guy I bought it from gave me two five gallon buckets of live rock and one bucket of sand for...

I'm currently setting up a a 125g FOWLR tank with a 40g sump system. It was an established aquarium until about a week ago so cycling it is going to be more of a formality than a real cycle. Before I commit to this fish list I'd just like to get some other opinions on it. I listed the fish in...

I've officially bought a 125g tank with complete filtration and stand for 400$ (yay!) I can't pick the tank up until next week, so I don't have it here physically, but I've been researching a lot of fish and lighting options. It's the 72x18x22 size, BTW I think I'm going to go for a...

In a week or two I'll be getting a 125g tank and start my first ever saltwater aquarium! I'm pretty excited. I'm experienced with freshwater, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to stocking a SW tank. I'm so used to knowing which fish are compatible and which fish are right for the tank size...

I'm going to use this is my permanent thread for my breeding endeavors. I just got a fry tank set up (10g, thin layer of gravel/sand, hornwort, airstone) Here are the species of fish I'll likely breed: ~Angels (one marbled, one black, one yellow/orange veiltail, one koi, all unsexed) ~Dwarf...

My aunt texted my mom saying she had some fish and asked if I would keep them or they "would be getting flushed". :( She works for a cell phone accessory company and they apparently have had a display at the southern women's show with a fish tank for their demonstrations of a waterproof cell...

I'm getting into my first densely planted tank and I definitely need to upgrade my lights. Here are the stats of the tank and the plants I currently have or will be coming in over the next week. Tank Size: 10 gallons Current Plants: Red Indian Sword, Aponogeton (unknown sp.), Duck Weed Plants...

I'm going to need some eventually for my 10g tank. Here's my build thread which includes a picture of my scaping design http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f70/10g-indian-burmese-river-build-169473.html I am looking for some that are native to south Asia, but please list all you know of. :)

This is my first attempt at making a biotope tank, so I thought it would be nice to do one that is different and a bit more unusual than the typical Amazon tank. My little 10 gallon tank is going to be based on an Indian/Burmese river/creek type habitat. I've done a TON of work on it today...

suggestions? Currently my 10g has 1x Dwarf Gourami (full grown) 3x Peppered Corydoras 3x Dwarf Peppered Corydoras I'm planning on moving my cories to my 20g, as I know they'd appreciate the extra floor space. That will leave me with my DG in the 10g alone. What would you put in there with him?

I won't be near getting another tank until Winter, but I'd like to get on the ball planning and researching which direction to go in! Since it will be my first SW build, I don't want to go with a full-reef, but mainly LR and a few easy to maintain, low light corals. (mushrooms, maybe) I know...

I went to petco today to apply for a job (I think I might get it, yay!) but I also had to browse the fish selection of course. In one of the tanks with bala sharks I saw some Denison's barbs and flipped out. They only had two, and I bought both of them for 9$ a piece. I seriously doubt they knew...
