Hi all, I have a horrible green hair algea problem in my freshwater tank. I've had my fully cycled tank for about 5 months now and about 1 and a half months ago, the tank started growing green hair algea. It got to the point where the tank was pretty much covered in the stuff. About 2 weeks ago...

Hey all, I have a 29 gallon tank stocked with - 6 glofish - 6 neons - 4 Cory catfish - 3 Oto's - 1 dwarf gourami My friend has a male betta that she needs to get rid of and I'd like to take it. I just wanna make sure it would be ok to put him in this tank with the other fish. Thanks for...

Hey all, Finally got some fish in my tank! While they all seem to be doing ok, the current of my filters (I have one on each side of a 29 gallon tank, Aquaclear 50 & Aquean 30) seem to be making it difficult for the neon tetras to swim. They struggle to swim against the current and when they...

Hi all, my fishless cycle is finally complete and I'm ready for fish! I just have some questions about my stocking list: 29 Gallon freshwater tank 2 filters (aquaclear 50 & aquean 30) Two sets (6 each) of schooling fish · (6) Glofish Danios for top of tank · (6) Glowlight...

I never thought I'd be able to start this thread, but I'm happy to say that after almost 3 long months, my tank is officially cycled!! :eek: I want to give a HUGE shoutout to Eco23. He encouraged me to continue with the fishless cycle when I had come close to giving up. While I want to thank...

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/plant1e.jpg/ Hi all, Sorry for my ignorance, but I purchased a few anubias plants and read afterwards that you're not supposed to bury the Rhizome. I'm not really sure what the rhizome is. Is it the entire bulky part at the bottom? if so, how do you...

Hey all, I'd like to get some low / medium light plants but would need to get a new lighting system first. Does anyone have experiance with this one? Does it work well for growing plants? ANy other recommendations for my 29 galon tank? Thanks, Marineland LED Double Bright Aquarium Lighting...

Hi all, I would like to replace the stock bulb that came with my lighting fixture (seen here) to allow me to keep live plants. Aqueon Deluxe Full Fluorescent Black Aquarium Hoods - Aquarium Hood and Fish Tank Light from PETCO.com I put some anacharis in my tank a few weeks ago and they...

Hey all, I've been fishless cycling my 29 gallon tank for close to 2 months now and haven't seen a SINGLE change in ANY of my levels (ammonia 3-4ppm, no nitrites, no nitrates). I even have established filter media in the filter. I've come to the conclusion that while fishless cycling works for...

Hey all, so it's been over a month and I have seen NO change in my ammonia levels (and no nitrites/nitrates) I have even had an established seeded sponge in my filter for the past week and still no change. So I gave it some thought, and I'm thinking maybe I'm just not reading my ammonia levels...

Hey all, After a month of my tank not cycling, my friend gave me an established sponge from his tank. Can you guys take a look at my filter setup and let me know if I'm doing something wrong? The sponge has been in for about 18 hours now and my ammonia STILL hasn't budged (and no...

Hey all, Since my fishless cycle hasn't budged in the month I've been trynig, my friend agreed to give me the media he currently has in his filter (sponge and some bag of rocks). I just have a few questions: 1. I work with him, so the media will be out of his tank for 24-48 hours before I...

Hey all, So it appears that something is finally starting to happen with my cycle, but it's weird. My ammonia dropped from about 3/4ppm to 1/1.5ppm but there's still no signs of nitrites (I've been cycling for almost a month now). What's weird is, I'm seeing signs of nitrAtes! There's not much...

Hey all, So it's been a while since I started my fishless cycle, and frankly it's just not working. In nearly 4 weeks, there has been absolutely NO change in any of my testings. Ammo is still at 4 like when I started (I initially thought it went down but it hadn't, it was just wishful...

Hey all, So I started my fishless cycle on April 22 and by may 2 (11 days) my ammonia had dropped down to 1ppm. I then dosed the tank back up to 4ppm on may 2 and as of this morning, the ammonia hasn't moved at all, it's still 4ppm. And nitrites are non existant. it only took about 4 days...

Hey all, I'm still in the cycling process but have been reading alot of threads here about what I can stock in a 29 gallon tank. I'm just trying to get a clear idea of what would be good. After doing some research, here is what I've come up with for my tank (29g tank, 30g aqueion filter...

Hey all, I'm brand new to the world of fish/aquariums. Last week I purchased and setup a new 29 gallon tank. After doing some research on these forums, I realized the initial setup of an aquarium isn't as simple as I thought it was. I'm currently cycling my tank (fish-less cycle using ammonia)...
