Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet I know that the tank is about 10 gallons too small but i will upgrade in a year. The tank used to house my mudskippers but after 5 years they both passed and I was going to get rid of the tank but i couldnt even give it away for some reason. The...

My tap water is reading 20+ppm. My tank is brackish and I am thinking of buying a reverse osmosis filter but I don't know what I would have to add back in to the water. I also don't want large pH fluctuations. I have a few plants. My specific gravity is 1.003. I plan on adding more Java moss...

Hey Ivan you can post your pictures here so that we don't fill up the other topic. I was at Petco today and they are having a sale and they are selling a 10 gallon kit for $40. So all you will need is salt and a cheap hydrometer. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Moved this post because it wasnt posted in the right place. My grandfather gave me 3 metaframe tanks. i used to have them when i was younger but they all cracked and lucky for me he kept them. I have removed all the glass and replaced everything, including the slate with acrylic. It was my...

My grandfather gave me 3 metaframe tanks. i used to have them when i was younger but they all cracked and lucky for me he kept them. I have removed all the glass and replaced everything, including the slate with acrylic. It was my first time using acrylic and using the welding solution. I think...

I am looking for an old metal frame fishtank. I am hoping to find one that has broken glass so that i can completely restore it. As long as the metal is in great condition. I have been looking for a while and can not find any. I know my grandfather should have some but I dont talk to him anymore.

My figure 8 isnt swimming well. My ammonia and nitrites are 0 and before i did a water change my nitrates were less than 5ppm. The specific gravity is 1.004. The tank is about 2 months old. He has been hanging out at the top. I have a large airstone and 2 filters stirring up the water at the...

Sorry the water is a little cloudy because i just put the crabs new home in. 6 Bumblebee gobies, 2 Indian dwarf mudskippers who live on the upper platform, 1 F8 puffer and a currently clawless red claw crab. I hope to get a freshwater flounder but they arent easy to come by. There is also a...

I picked up a red claw crab for my brackish tank 2 weeks ago and it seems to be doing fine but it doesnt have it 2 front arms(the ones with claws). Can they still eat without them or is it slowly dying? Any information about its care in general would be great. The water is at 1.001SG but within...

Has anyone done this personally and had success? How did you go about doing it? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I tried neons but they didn't last. I still have 2 of the 5. My pH is high, about 7.6-8.0. Somewhere in that region. My GH is about 250-300ppm. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Im looking for about 20-30. I was thinking $25 +shipping to the Philly area. I want to turn my 10 gallon into a small planted tank with shrimp and snails. If you also have ramshorn snails too that you want to throw in. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Im setting up brackish tank again after being out of the hobby for a while. My last tank over heated and boiled my fish. :( i am updating the tank with new sand and fixing things i was not happy with last time. I would also like to thank jody for making my tank on February 19, 1996. My friend...

I am finally setting up my brackish tank and I am looking for a f8 puffer. I could go to the store and buy one but id rather try and find someone who needs to rehome one instead. Im in the philly area if anyone has one. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I want to make a refugium from a 30 gallon tank for a 55 gallon tank. This picture i drew is to scale. every 2mm is 1 inch. yea i mixed metric and standard but i dont care. Are there any flaws with this design?

So I have not had a tank in 2 years since my heater malfuntioned and killed my brackish tank. I am currently living at home with my parents and gf and will be for about a year until we save up money for a house. About my old tank: It was a 29 gallon brackish tank with 2 levels so I could have...

I went up to school for the night and came home just now to find out my heater had malfunctioned and heated my tank to over 120 degrees. All the inhabitants have perished. My mudskipper, f8 puffer, 7 BBGs (6 less than a month old), 1 flounder, 2 zebra nerites and several shrimp. I almost don't...

Finally acquired a bunch of these guys. I know it's all I have been talking about but apparently if you live in or around Philly it's almost impossible to get these guys , so it took me a while to get what I wanted and everyone knows if you really want something one day without it feels like...

Bought a Marino moss ball about 10 days ago and I have been acclimating it to brackish and when I was about to put it in the tank and I saw it was floating with a worm sticking out. I don't think it's anything dangerous but can someone confirm this.

I know most of you guys say no to getting clams but i was wondering if it would be possible. I want to attempt to get an Asian Clam(Corbicula fluminea). I was going to feed them using Kent Marine Phytoplex for saltwater clams.Kent Marine PhytoPlex at PETCO Think this would work? I forgot to...

my sg is 1.003 right now but is usually 1.005. i have a lot of full spectrum lighting in the the tank. im interested in the marimo moss balls. I have heard these do well in low end brackish tanks. can anyone give me some tips or advice or confirm this for me. edit: anyone?

I have one of these guys in my brackish tank and Im looking to get more. The one I have right now doesnt do much but when he is active he is entertaining. I have read when these guys are together they get into little harmless scuffles over territory. I would love to watch these little guys...

Looking for the cheapest offer for 3-5 BBGs plus shipping. None of my local fish stores carry them or will order them except one. One store said $5+ a piece if they can get them because he said "they are rare and hard to get" but at that price I will ask anyone here if they have them. I'm also...

Bought a molly today that was giving birth at the store and i just wanted to use the babys as food in my brackish tank to attempt to get my flounder to eat. Well the molly has given birth to several live babies so far she has also dropped many undeveloped eggs and i was wondering if it would be...

Bought a freshwater flounder and he is in my brackish tank (sg 1.005-1.007). Ive been doing everything possible to get him to eat. Ive put live BBS right on his face during the day and in the middle of the night and i dont see him move he just buries himself. During the day he is active moving...
