My plant decided to flower for me - just wanted to tell someone!

I am planning on using soil with a sand cap and my substrate. I have over 80 pounds of stone I plan on using to scape the tank (75 gallon) and a few are pretty heavy. Sound I place the substrate in first then the stone or the stone then try to layer the substrate around it? On one hand I...

I am setting up a 75 gallon planted tank. Looking to do low tech, no CO set up. All my (limited) experience with planted tanks is with nanos so I have no idea what to do for lighting on a tank this size. Any suggestions, preferably ones that won’t break the bank?

I am looking to take my 10 gallon nano and upgrade it to a 30 gallon I would like to use an overflow to get water down to a sump because i'm not going to drill into the side of the tank (bottom is tempered) with money being no major issue, build me a tank so i can get ideas as to good...

So my cycle is done on my tank...nirtates are reading 20 after a 10% PWC yesterday (ammonia and nitrites are 0) I have never had any issue adding a clean up crew to a tank...I never did a long drip acclimation or anything like that, just floating the bag, adding water slowly and the releasing...

Sorry if I'm boring everyone with a stocking question! I have a 12 gal nano cycling right now....about 21/22 pounds of LR in the tank and LR rubble in the back compartments I really like the way the LR looks and want some suggestions of fish that will be active swimming through out the...

I am looking for a good schooling fish for a 30 gal. I was looking at neons, but everything I am reading says they wont have schooling behavior unless they have something in the tank to make them feel threatened. All I have in the tank is some cories. So my questions: Is there something I...

Has anyone else had their pleco jump out of the water and stay their for an extended period of time without seeming to be stressed about it? A friend of mine had her pleco jump onto the turtle shelf in the tank. After a few moments it just slid back into the water...

I am looking for suggestions for stocking a 30 gal tank. I am not intereested in keeping live bearers such as mollies, swordtails or guppies. pH - 7.8 GH - 3 KH - 3 Temp - 75 Is the pH too high for corries or barbs? If not, what are a good number of each for that size tank? Thanks!

So, I finally get to set up the FW tank I've been trying for, but unfortunately I had to get rid of my SW set up. Anyway, the FW will be a 30 gallon job I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for filters for this thing. I'm not sure what it will be stocked with since I don't know yet...

Is there a way to take a larger mp3 file (like a concert) and break it up to smaller ones (individual songs)? I'm sure there has to be some sort of (free) editing program out there that allows you to do it, but I can't find one Thanks!

Are hermit crabs (blue legged, red legged, scarlet) compatible with peppermint shrimp? The reason i ask is because I got a few shrimp today and after acclimation and a few hours with the lights off, the only one i have seen was being eaten by 4 or 5 hermits

Reading a post about gluing Ricordea made me wonder... Do they spread like regular shrooms do? Can you frag them like regular shrooms? I have a few in my tank that i got from reefrunner and they are growing but havent spread, so i was wondering
