I have been doing freshwater planted tanks for about 5 years while living in PR and have gotten out of the hobby after moving to South Dakota. I agreed with my girlfriend the first tank will be a SW so she can have Nemo go figure. Now with my first son 3 months away I have finally gone full...

So I just came from vacation and saw I closed my co2 tank by mistake and had a huge algae bloom in my tank. I believe it's hair algae I'm posting here before I proceed with any treatment. I fed my fish once before I left and did a 80% water change before I left. The parameters are the usual...

So today was probably the first time I'm actually glad I have a horrible migraine. Apparently some type of chemical got into my tank during my pwc and at first I didn't notice intill I woke up the first time and saw one of my apistos died. Although I thought it was strange my head hurt so much I...

Im pretty confident that it's an sae or flying fox but not 100% if someone could help.

An anyone tell me what the colored plant is. I got it from two angles.

Can anyone help me figure out the sexes of these two rams.

So I had my first tank I bought a 20g tall sitting around for the past couple months and now that my two fw tanks are complete (in my eyes at least), I decided I wanted to turn this tank into a fowlr tank. The thing that held me back was getting an rodi unit which I finally ordered today with...

So after getting a new piece of driftwood and some slate I became in the rescaping mood and redid my 55g community and my 10g shrimp/betta tank. Here are some pics to start U out with intill the habitants feel like popping out. Showed the old and the new.

So I get back from picking up my sister n nephew from the airport n when we get home my sister goes that's a nice tank but how does the water from the floor get back in the tank. Now I'm freaking put with luggage n a stroller n go searching for a crack but thankfully enuf I had just over stuffed...

So now that my 10g shrimp tank and 55g community tank are at the point where I'm satisfied I thought I'd try my hand at a 20g tall hi-tech tank. So here are my plans Lighting: http://www.aquatraders.com/24-inch-2x24W-T5-Aquarium-Light-Fixture-p/52121p.htm Filter: Fluval 105 Substrate: Eco...

I was wondering if anyone here has used http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=300588214319 and have any feedback for their use in a planted tank. Low-med light plants Eco complete substrate and dosing with excel or DIY co2 havent decided yet.

So after work I decided to go to my favorite sushi place to eat and I know they always had a tank but since I consider myself new to the hobby it never really caught my eye and tonight I finally cycled it out and they had a decent t5ho light setup for a 55g or at least the live rock look...

So my wife for the first time chose a fish which were these from our lfs. Since im pushing for my 4 and 5th tanks I figured this was a good way to loosen her up. I looked them up in the store and they are pretty much the same as blue rams but I couldn't find a specific profile on them. I read...

I was planning on rescaping my 55g today and was wondering would it be ok to move the crypts around as long as they stay in the same tank. I'd expect a little crypt melt but I would assume not to bad.

In a 55g comunity tank can I put one blue ram in it with 6 pepper corys also in the tank. And also would my Amano shrimp be safe.

I was wondering if it was ok to attach java fern to some arts and crafts mesh and just place it down on the substrate. Just wanted to make it a forest effect and as it reproduces I can just lift more of the mesh out of the sand and add on to it.

I was just wondering if there any other hobbyist here from PR. I usually find it hard to find alot of things on the island such as inverts and plants other then at aquarium Xtra which even there selection is limited. And was wondering if anyone here was from the island and knew of some good...

So as I was feeding my fish this morning and noticed one of my corys had like cuts on it side. Can't really figure out how he did this or if he is sick. I ran a test on the water and the parameters where fine at 0 ammo and trites and 5 trates if that. I did a 50pwc just incase but not sure what...

So I noticed yesterday that 1 of my neons has some nipped fins and spent a majority of today watching my tank to find the culprit which I though was a dg but it seemed that the other neons where the ones who where the culprit. I was wondering whats the best way to deal with the situation. Water...

Was wondering would this plant survive in 82-84f temperature.

So one of my co-workers have been bit by the fish bug after looking at pics of my tanks and videos so they are buying an extra tank I have off of me to start their own. The filter that goes with it is a penguin with a bio-wheel. I use acs on my big tank so I was planning on stuffing the...

So after a bit of negotiating with my wife she finally let me start my shrimp tank it's a 10g but it was like pulling teeth with her lol. I plan on adding a moss wall for the background and some driftwood I got soaking. I seeded with media from my 55g so I don't assume it will take to long to...

So now that I have figured out what type maybe you can help me with some other questions. My friend has had this turtle in his pond for almost two years now. He wants to be able to keep the water a bit cleaner in between water changes. Right now he only has the water pump that runs to the...
