Alright guys here’s where I’m at. I have a cycled tank, it’s pretty new but is fully cycled. Ammonia @ 2ppm is zero with zero nitrites and converting to nitrates no issue. 23lbs of love rock (22-25, I only weighed some, I wanted a lot to build a busy but not cramped reef. The lighting is the...

Hey guys, haven’t been on this forum in awhile. Had to break my tanks down, move to another state, rebuild my life, and here I am again! I have had zero tanks since my last post here, several years now (awful) due to apartment rules at my old place. I’ve just moved into a new place, and now I...

I came across some stupid cheap new searchem safe on amazon. 250g for like 5bucks. It says it treats 50,000 gallons haha. Anyways 5 grams (1tsp) treats 200 gallons. My math sucks, and I don't wana super prime my tank (its a 20 gal) Can someone help me break this down. If I had a python, how...

My ottos apparently didn't make it, they were new, and that happens I read, still bummed. I have a 20 long, cycled, 4 pristrlla tetras, a clown pleco, ghost shrimp. Maybe add a few more pristilla tetras, But what else could go in? Possibly a centerpiece fish that would play nice and be ok as...

Ok so im getting an ehiem 2213 for my 20long, and its a topless tank, planted, adding more soon, and will have them growing out (hopefully) So obviously a protein skimmer is mainly for saltwater, but I feel like a topless 20long would do well with a skimmer to get anything that may fall into...

Hey fish friends! I'm looking into bumping up my setup (shopping!!) I would like a decent canister filter for my 20long planted hitec tank. I like the idea of making a wet dry filter, but figured the increased surface agitation would eat up all my co2, and don't want to do pressurized JUST yet...

My shrimp are moving and seem healthy, but in a pile under the heater. (temps 73) water (amm0nitra0tritrs-5) Is this just them mating or being wierd or what? Thanks guys 20long hitech/10gal shrimptech

Ok, I've got a 10gal low tech planted tank and my frc's arrive tomorrow. What else, if anything, could peacefully comingle with a breeding cherry colony? I already have a mts outbreak in my 20long, (got them for free at lfs, I just asked) and figured I could toss a few assassin snails in the...

how many, have a good deal from my shrimper, wouldnt mind havn a few, as a bottom dweller group. anyone have experience with these guys?

Hey guys. Nature has been trashed, Boone can deny litter is everywhere. I want to capture that in my new 20 long. How would I go about sterilizing something like a beer bottle. What's the risk here. every water change pour it out to kill deadspots... .. Dark or clear bottles. Thanks guys...

I want cpos and tylomelania in my 20 long. How many of each before I should start culling (figure they'd breed eventually) 10gal hitech/5gal lowtech

wood on top is at least 1inch. Doesn't wobble. I'm 220, and jumped on the dead center and nothing. Its filled, drawers still open, no wobble. Seems safe, right? Or am I dumb? I am going to build a triple rack (20l 10 and 5, out of 2x4) 10gal hitech/5gal lowtech

Ok, 40 watt (actual watts) CFL us TOO much light. Stupid algae growth, and lots. Would 2 13 watts work, with the co2 maybe turned back a bit and nutes adjusted? Thanks guys. Going from hard to obtain (locally) coralife t5 to cfls, because they are cheaper. Also, would I benefit having 1 warm...

Hey guys, ordered 12 fire red shrimp for a new shrimpolopolus. 5 gallons(for now...), low tech (for now...) with just cherries(for now! Haha). Maybe a filter shrimp if I upgrade the size.. Right now, 2 13w cfls over top, extra light to bump some new algae growth for when they arrive. Anubius...

Anyone in kentucky need fish setup, tons of plants.prefer local but may ship

Saw this onlinne. Guy dug a massive pool in his backyard, and stocked it with all sorts of fish. Basically, fish eat the bugs, and the plants filter the water. The outside of the pond was rediculously planted, and clear in the center of the pool. My questiion, could swimming in this hurt the...

Why do people get so bunched up when they put a 90 gal fish in a 6 gal tank... you had to know that foot long fish wouldnt work...

so what I have here is 3 betta tanks (2 are community) and I love my bettas. They will all be in a much larger tank in a few months (55 gal w/ dividers) Heres some pics

Soo, ive got a few tanks going, and i had an idea. I want to put 4 male bettas into a 60 gal tank. Super plant it, and of course attempt shrimp life in these super planted sections. My question, can this be done safely? I know tank dividders exists, are they safe, reliable, and humane for the...

So far my plants are growing pretty crazy, slight increase in cherry shrimp pop. As well :)

So I've been busy as heck getting this class passed (officially a certified nursing assistant) and finally class is over so I want to celebrate with a new idea. This week I've been reading about "natural tanks" that require no filter. I would still use lights, c02, and ferts, so it wouldn't be...

I have a jagermeister bottle (750 ml) that was "evacuated" last night with some friends. Recently, I've been looking at taking my cave out, and added more drift, and this bottle, to make it look like an actual river that people live near. (I don't trash lakes, but the tank would have that...
