I need SLOW sinking pellets for my Discus. They are very use to eating Aquadine food but my LFS retired and closed and that product is no longer available here. I have tried floating and sinking, but they have become very accustom to slow sinking. Apparently floating is beyond their...

How are people long term lowering their Ph? I tried Maylasian driftwood. Once it's done leaching, it done. I need a best solution for my 125 gallon. I have a canister. Peat?

Finishing up a round of Crypto Pro 20 for Ick. I checked my PH today and it was up from 6.8 to about 7.2. Does anyone know if the Crypto can alter PH?

So, I have my first Canister and I'm trying to get a deeper knowledge of filter media. I've read the various sales pitches for various media. According to the pitches, you can't live without any of this stuff. Besides Bio Balls, what is the absolute, must have media for the absolute best...

Is there an easy DIY to fix my funky surface? I sort of assume a protein skimmer but I need to hold off buying for a few months, so the wifey doesn't get grumpy with the month I've spent on this tank in the last few weeks. Some of it is sand. Any ideas how to fix this ?

I have a Fluval FX-6 canister filter which I think I like. This is the first canister I've used. It resets itself each day and purges a lot of air. Any ideas on where the air might be coming from? I do not have a bubbler going.

I found two German Blue Rams at my LPS and bought them yesterday. I'd never seen them there before. Pretty much, if they aren't Guppies, common Tetras or Frank-in-fish, they aren't carried. Long story short, I've read other posts on the subject and I studied websites and I'm still clueless...

For the past 3 months I've been trying to get my 125g up. Home remodeling, work... It's up now and I am looking for easy lower light plants. Anyone have cuttings? References will be checked.

Any suggestion for quality fish reference websites? Somewhere out there, I know there has to be a site with more than vanilla information on just the most common tropical fish. All Cory's are not the same. This mythical site would know that and have information on different ones. This...

I saw this mentioned on another thread, but I didn't want to hijack their thread. I have been targeting mid December to have my 120g up and cycled. I have been watching bids on Aquabid. But, like I said, I saw this on another thread. Do people ship during the winter months?

Since the OS upgrade, I can't login using my Iphone. It seems to accept my sign-on and password but it then seems to not recognize me. My status shows me offline, my profile says "you must be logged in" and if I click on Subscribed the error message is "Permission denied". To reply to a...

I've been watching videos and reading up on building a Styrene - Drylok background for a 120g. I've not found any advice n dealing with Heaters. In-line heaters are not an option. So I need advice or opinions. I will be using a canister with two water return lines. What if I place the...

Is there a "best" sand? I am planning on using Fluorite capped with about a half inch or so of sand. I am planning on using easier plants. What type of sand should I be looking for?

For sale 37ish gallon Bow Front aquarium and Stand. It comes with a glass top. There are a few other accessories that are basically worthless. Including an undersized HOB filter and light that may or may not work. It probably needs a new bulb. There is an UG filter but it needs the tubes...

I just bought the last 4 F&S had in stock. The customer service rep. indicated this might be discontinued, or at least they were not restocking them. Long story short, I am looking for 3 or 4 more. If anyone has some not being used, I'm interested !!! (Red/Brown)

Random question but I'm wondering why fish are so much more expensive on EBay compared to Aquabid. Having never bought fish from either one, is there something I'm not seeing? I know on EBay, the shipping charges can be a trap. But what about Aquabid? Any forum members bought fish from either?

As I continue my quest for my dream aquarium, I am hoping to avoid regrets later. PetSmart has a Topfin 120g tank/hood/light/stand for $605.00. The stand looks cheap to me. My local aquarium shop has a Aqueon setup, same stuff, little better looking stand, For $100.00 more. Is there big...

On the TV show Tanked, they are continually making props for their SW's. Does someone know what they use to both paint and coat decorations? I don't care for most of their cheesy decorations but I am curious and they do build some awesome tanks! Name brands?

My last child is heading to college next month and I am now able to start purchasing the aquarium of my dreams. I've been saving up and I'm ready to start buying. I plan to buy my filter(s) first so I don't get in a hurry and money crunch later and buy something not really up to par. So, I...

Am I missing a Setting or something. Every time I try to view an entire Thread, I get a Pop up telling me I should get the Smartphone App. I am using the App. If I click Ok, it takes me to the Apple App Store. If I click cancel. It takes me into Safari to read the thread online. A bit...

Any thoughts on putting a 120 gallon aquarium in an upstairs room? Weight problem? Leaks? Something in the back of my mind says I should look before I leap on this one. The house is 6 years old.

I'm wanting to put a 125g tank in our bedroom. My smaller tanks in the house have rather loud hang on the back filters. Any suggestion on a extremely quite filter?. It has to be affordable for someone with 2 kids in college
