My apartment burned down and I stopped keeping tanks while I got back on my feet. I sold what I could and now I'm starting over. I've decided to set up my 20L as a medium tech planted tank. Not sure what them I'm going for. Thoughts are appreciated. It is currently stocked with some guppies...

My planted 110 is on the way to becoming a cichlid tank.... That being said my last Amazon sword is up for grabs! It needs some TLC though as I have ignored it and the cichlids munched on it! This beast is huge! I will trim it and send some root tabs in the pack! Shipping is on me; this raok is...

I did a naughty thing and bought a fish without research. I planned on making my 110g an lab/acei tank but got sucked in by this pretty boy. Problem is my tank still has community fish in it!! What are the chances of this pretty boy behaving in there for a couple of weeks?

I was watching tosh and they showed this clip. I was amazed that it was happening inside of a tank. Check it out!

I have no idea what gender or what kind of betta I have! He was a gift from my grandfather. Anyway. I've had him for about a month and I adore him. I love being able to watch fish grow. As he matures and colors up I will update this thread. He (Sheldon) lives in a ten gallon with two black...

Has this ever happened to anyone where ALL tanks suddenly show signs of stress? My 110, 40(reef), 30, and 10 gallon tanks are all of a sudden uber stressed. In my 110 I had a Colombian and a neon tetra die. Everyone is breathing rapidly. Parameters are 0,0,15. Saw the Colombian struggling to...

Wow! Just saw this and wanted to share. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2013/01/17/giant-goldfish-catch-michigan_n_2495876.html The man caught a 15 inch 3 pound goldfish.

Hi my name is bigbanker and I'm terrified of my lights. Haha. Anyway. I just hung this guys and I'm not certain if it will hold. The lights came with a hanging kit which included four wires and a clip. Nothing to clip them to. So. I went out and purchased a hanging plant basket hanger. The...

After many starts and stops I'm finally going. Awful I know. This is what I can't decide.... a 20g or 40g. I know most people will say go bigger but I'm not sure it is worth the energy. I currently have the 20g stand and tank. I like the layout of a 40g. I'm struggling to find a stand for the...

I miss having a cray! If you've got a young one for sale please pm me with price and shipping cost. Thanks!

What lights do you use? Leds? T5? Brand? Tank size?

I'm thinking about selling one of my massive swords..... each leaf is about three inches wide and twenty inches long. The whole plant is about a foot and a half wide. What do you think is a fair asking price for this thing? Sorry the pics are crooked!

My grandfather has been in the hospital for three weeks in Boston and is finally going home tomorrow! During his stay my mother purchased two bettas to keep in company. If we leave the fish here they will die as my sister cannot and will not take care of them. Tomorrow we will drive down to...

My 110 is heavily planted with a large school of neons.... about twenty or so. But I NEVER see them! What could keep them in hiding?? They live in a massive Amazon sword and come out only to feed. My stock includes a large group of adult columbian tetras, cherry barbs, roseline sharks, assorted...

Just curious to know what measures you take to ensure the hobby is not destroying the environment. What improvements would you make in the hobby? Or practices you would suggest others to stop?

Sooooo. I got my 150g six foot long tank. While we were setting it down my bf dropped it. Now what

Really starting to dislike my big boys. Though they tolerate each other very well I think they are terrorizing my neons. What would be a good price for these guys ?? They are about five inches or so.

Last night I did a small 30% water change. Used prime, temp matched, and everyone made it through the night. Nothing out of the ordinary. This morning my beautiful roseline was drifting and struggling in the current. I removed him, put him in qt, and went off to work. On my lunch break he...

My tank is a heavily planted 110g. Running a sump and 305. I'm looking at my numbers for possible changes or additions. Current list: 2 x Aussie rainbows it was three but one jumped. 2 x Adult mystery snails 2 x adult three spot gourami 2 x juvie lamp eye tetras 3 x adult roseline sharks 4 x...

Hi dolls and dears! Just wanted to share this... recently I've had to up the frequency of my water changes as my fish are growing. I've noticed my plants appreciate it as well. They are growing faster and as the nutrient make up of the water changes so do the leaves.

I'm considering dabbling in dry ferts..... I'm not sure what I should order though. The reason I'm looking towards ferts is because I have a tad of green spot algae and a bit of black hair algae. No matter how many times I do water changes I'm only able to keep the algae at "bay." It's nothing...

I was on Craigslist a few days ago and recognized a friend's tank that he had up for sale. Curious, I sent him an email and asked him what he had left (if I could afford it) and why he was selling. He answered me back that he was moving and that if no one buys it within the next week he would be...

No real changes in parms. Recently reduced the photo period though. Any ideas on my broad leaf is melting? PS I did move them within the passed month or so

Alrighty ... Some of the leaves of my amazon swords are starting to take a hit. That is where it is most noticeable. It looks as though something is eating away at the leaves. It is only about two leaves, one per plant. My stocking is............ 1 x Juvie Angel 2 x Adult three spot gouramis 2...

Hey ya'll looking at some possible stocking for my tank. Right now I've got sand and water! LOL These fish, if any, will be at least two months down the line. I will be purchasing a coralife skimmer and an Odyssea t5ho quad fixture. I know these are both cheap items; but, if I find I love the...
