Hallo all! I have a heated, planted tropical tank pictured here: Current stock: 6 black skirt tetra 6 gold skirt tetra 6 serpae tetra 6 galactic purple tetra 1 bristlenose pleco So, the tank is already pretty full. Is there room for centerpiece fish of some kind, like a pearl gourami or an...

Building my first reef tank - 60 gal, 48.5" x 12.75" x 25" with PFS substrate - and looking at the following for fish: Blue Reef Chromis (5) Zebra Barred Dartfish (3) Royal Gramma Basslet (1) Banggai Cardinalfish (3) With one each of the following coral: Colony Polyp, Orange/Green Trumpet...

The subject line kind of says it all. I'm setting up my first reef. Planning on fish and soft corals with 3" or less of sand substrate in a 25" tall tank. Wattage on LEDs seems to be wildly different than wattage on standard lights, so I'm baffled about what kind of LEDs I'd need for the setup...

I'm building my first SW tank - 60 gal reef - with the help of a friend. She used to have a 125 gal reef tank, so she's fairly knowledgeable, but she's never fishless cycled a tank before. I want to fishless cycle, but I'm not sure what order things need to go in after that. Should I cycle the...

I'm waffling between a marine setup or a freshwater set up - I still need to get equipment for either one - but I like to plan things out well in advance. Blue/Green Reef Chromis (5) and/or Pajama Cardinalfish (5) and/or Blue Reef Chromis (5) Zebra Barred Dartfish (3) Royal Gramma Basslet (1)...

Jeepers, but my plans for this tank have changed drastically! Originally, I wanted to have a planted tank with nothing but nano fish - chili raspboras, axelrod sundadanios, and pygmy cory cats - but then my dear sweetie pie decided I needed a betta. So, I have a betta. And nothing else. In a 16...

I tried to do this a few months ago, but my plans never really got off the ground - I'm itching to set up a low light planted nano tank in my 16 gallon bowfront aquarium. The obvious choices for livestock (or, at least, the ones that were suggested before) are chili rasboras (boraras...

Okay, so I went against my typical behavior and got a number of plants without truly researching them first (that was my first mistake), and I listened to the guy at the LFS who said the light that comes with the kit would be enough to grow plants (that was my second mistake). I used a...

Our AC is broken, and it's 90 degrees outside. (Thank you, Geogria.) My tank is currently reading ~79, which isn't crazy-high, but it seems a lot higher than the 74 my platy's been used to. :( Any suggestions for how to cool down the water?

So, my sweetie wants to try having tropical fish again, despite a failed attempt a couple years ago. (Poor tetras. I know what all I did wrong, now. :/) I've been doing a TON of research, both on here and on other sites like this one, but I'd like to have feedback on our idea. We got a 16...

Hi all! I'm basically new when it comes to fish. There were poor little goldfish when I was little, and one failed attempt with neon tetras a few years ago, but now I'm determined to do this right. I've been looking around this site for a couple, and I decided to creat an account to say hello...
