Since people seem to be a fan of build threads (myself included) I guess I should start one because I know I am going to have a ton of questions. I already have lots but I'll start with one at a time. I would like to do soft corals and am thinking about getting a dual T5HO fixture doing 1...

So I have decided to work my way into the salt world of the aquarium hobby. Would a double T5HO fixture be good for a 10g nano? I am planning on have fish and soft coral. Would that be too much light? not enought? or just right?

So my German Blue Rams laid eggs. How long till they should hatch? If they do what do I feed the babies? How long till I separate them from the parents? Any advice is appreciated thanks!

I am looking for some Java Moss, Java Fern, and 10-20 Red Cherry Shrimp shipped to 68506

Would 14 black neons, 8 Denison's barbs (red line torpedo barbs), and 3 oto's be too much?

I have been doing some reading and other than an accidental breeding in a zoo and a couple of hobbist tanks. There aren't any reported cases of breeding them. Does anyone know anything different?

Do Bristlenise plecos eat green spot algae? Also do they bother live plants?

So I bought a dual T5 HO fixture for my 55 gallon each bulb being 54w. I thought I was getting medium lighting turns out it's high. CO2 isn't an option at this point but I added some seachem flourish root tabs and liquid fertilizer. My plants are looking better but not where I would like them...

Is my oto pregnant or just fat? Please excuse the dot algae.

So after being on here for a while I have some questions about how to make the most of my filter. I have a Marineland penguin 350B HOB filter. The it has 2 slots on either side for filter cartriges followed by a biowheel on each side. I currently am still using the cartriges the filter came...

I have a 55g planted community tank. Currently I have 5 ottos but I still have some algae build up on the sides of my tank. Can I have.more ottos or should I just keep up with the scraping?

I just got 16 black neon tetras for the price of 6! Asked for 15 but it was hard for him to count them so I ended up with an extra! There sale includes neons, black neons, tiger barbs, and a couple other fish but it ends tomorrow!

I have been doing some reading about this fish and from what I have read a 55g would be the minimum size tank you would want to put these in. What do you guys think? Would 6 in a 55g be too little room for them with one or 2 small schools with them?

Saw this at Petsmart today would it be worth it? Or does it not really do anything? Hagen Plant Grow Natural System with CO2 - Plant Care - Fish - PetSmart

Ok so here is what I am thinking and I want to know if this is a good idea or just crazy. I am think of getting to aqua tech power heads and having a diy co2 connected to each off setting the start of the second by a week what do you guys think?

So I have about 15 or so Ghost Shrimp in my 55g planted. I would like to add RCS but I'm not sure if the Ghost Shrimp would eat them or not. Anyone have both or know if it would be okay to have both?

Just finished adding a bunch of plants I got from JustOneMore20 and would like some advice/critisim on my aquascape and how to improve it based on what I have in the tank. I hope to add stuff later and I don't have much fish in right now. Also this next week I will be putting a black background...

I think my Anubais is dying what could be causing this? Are there some good liquid ferts I should look into? I have a 55g tank with 2 54 w T5HO's. No CO2 (not planning on getting any) and no ferts so far.

I have asked this question in several threads where it was mentioned nut no one ever responds so I am creating a thread to do so. What does it mean to blanch something like lettuce?

So I think I have finally decided on what I am going to have in my 55gal Community. I started buying pieces of the tank in January and since then have cycled and started adding fish. It's a 55gal with 2 54w T5HO's so far I have 3 Oto's, 6 Rummynose Tetras, and about 15 Ghost Shrimp. I have...

So I just notice today a couple of little snails in my 55 that I am setting up ever so slowly. Can someone direct me to a good place where I can look at pics and descriptions of snails so I can figure out if I want to keep them or get rid of them before I have an infestation. I know they...

Hey so I am new to the planted tank part of the hobby and looking for someone who might have some java fern or christmas moss to spare. I would be more than happy to cover shipping and maybe a little more depending on how much.

So I actually have already posted but I figured I should properly introduce myself. I have had tanks in the past my main passion so far has been for cichilds. I would like to have a saltwater tank eventually but as a college student it isn't the best time for that. I was going to wait till...

So I have had a few Cichlid tanks in the past but this time around I want to try my hand at a community tank. I have decided for sure that I want to do a school of rummy nose tetras and I'll probably do a trio of oto catfish. I have been doing some research on bettas and there is a lot that...
