So I'm moving at the end of this August, and I'm not sure how much room I'll have in the new place, so I'm putting up my 40B planted tank up for sale. I don't really want to part it out, either, so first taker for the whole thing gets it! Details are in the CL post, but asking price is $550...

So the other day I noticed my Scarlet Badis (Dario dario) out near the foreground of my tank, hovering closer to the bottom than normal. He disappeared for a couple days again until this morning, when I noticed he was back out front. This time, however, he wasn't hovering like normal, he was...

So I made an impulse buy a couple weeks ago and got two golden wonder killifish (m/f) for my "old" shrimp tank (after swapping filter media from my 40B to the HOB filter). They've been really neat fish to feed and watch, and now it looks like they may have laid/not eaten at least one egg, but...

Went to PetCo for the first time in a LONG time to pick up a fish or two to keep my "new" shrimp tank cycled (most of my red cherry shrimp died shortly after getting them; they're now happy in my 10 gallon planted with my yellow shrimp. Guess they'll have to cross-bred :ermm:), and they had...

I'm having an issue with my red cherry shrimp dying recently, and I can't quite figuring out what I'm doing wrong. I'll start with purchasing them back in November; I originally purchased 30+ cherry shrimp on AquaBid.com for my established (but unoccupied) 10 gallon planted tank in my bedroom...

So I've finally switched up my 10 gallon tank that housed my fish from my previous apartment, planted it a bit more, and got a few celestial pearl danios (galaxy rasboras) and ghost shrimp in the tank right now. I want to keep it relatively low stock, and focus more on the plants, but it seems...

Looking for some malaysian trumpet snails to plow through my sand & keep my plants happy, figured I'd ask here first. :thanks:

Hi all, I'm continuing to update my 40B southeast asian tank, and I think it's time to FINALLY upgrade my bulbs in my light fixture (I've had it a bit over a year now with the original bulbs :whistle:). It's an Odyssea 4 bulb, 72 total watt fixture, so I was wondering if I should just get...

I switched to a sand bed in my aquarium when I moved a couple of months ago, and I was just looking for tips to prevent the deep sand from developing anaerobic pockets. I've been trying to stir the sand in between the plants that I have, but it's pretty difficult because they aren't completely...

Hi, I'm having issues with some type of growth all throughout my aquarium... I have a pic below. Right now my tank is getting 36 watts from T8s, about 6-7 hours a day, I'm dosing a bit of excel every day or so, and I just set up my pressurized CO2 system a couple days ago (this stuff has been...

So I was perusing the site, when I noticed a thread started by Rivercats called (Accidental addition of fissidens fontanus). Now, I have no idea what fissidens fontanus is, but part of the discussion revolved around adding glutaraldehyde to the tank. Now intensely curious as to why in the...

Just got a dozen ghost shrimp for my 40B southeast asian tank, lucky for me 5 of them were berried females :D First one is a berried female chowing down on a blackworm

Hi all, so I got a scarlet badis a little bit ago, and the lfs recommended live blackworms to feed him. So, I bought a small portion for $4. Turns out a small portion was approximately 1 million worms (which isn't too bad since they're small), but even feeding my entire 40B, I still have tons...

Hey all. just had a quick question about buying bunched stem plants. When planting them in your substrate, should you keep all the stems together or separate them and plant individual stems?

So I've just set up my southeast asian tank (40 gallon breeder) and stocked it with cherry barbs, checker barbs, brilliant rasboras, and a scarlet badis. I also just got a pretty big order of plants (java moss, crypts, Val asiatica, rotalas indica, and a Java fern) and it's looking pretty good...

So I'm moving to Boston in a couple weeks, am getting rid of my 36 gallon corner in favor of a 40g breeder (done up with a DIY background), and want to set up a southeast asian biotope tank. I've done a bit of research on it, but can't decide on a few things. Speculative stock below: 5x kuhli...

So I have an opportunity to get a 55 gallon for free, which I was going to plumb to be part of the same system as my 36 gallon corner tank (I have a canister filter supposedly good for up to 100 gallons); two tanks connected to one filter :brows: Can't get it for a couple weeks but ideas for...

Hi, I got a 10 gallon CO2 tank a couple of months ago for my 36 gallon corner tank and I was wondering about how long a tank of CO2 lasts at 1 bps? I've already had to refill it, and I'm worried I have a leak in my tubing somewhere... Thanks!

Hi all, I have some wood which I'm converting to driftwood via boiling & long periods of soaking to leach the tannins out. I'm pretty well through the process so I've started thinking about how I'll arrange the driftwood in my tank. I thought fixing it to the glass horizontally could look...

So a couple months ago I got some baby Maine lobster for my ten gallon tank, and everything's been pretty peachy so far (although through the law of natural selection there are now only two remaining). I've been feeding them krill and silversides, which they (and my lone hermit crab) seem to...

So, I've just started converting my 36 gallon corner tank to planted; got a new lighting fixture (Odyssea t5 24", 4 bulb fixture), stuck some plants in (bought an anubis congensis, dwarf sagittaria, cyperus helferi, microsword, and some others) and I'm looking around for parts and pieces for a...

Just threw some krill in for my american lobster's to munch on... got some pretty good action shots of one of them :)

So I'm doing my masters thesis in Maine on the health of juvenile lobsters in acidified water, and I spent all summer raising them (several thousand) from hatch for 90 days, by which point they had all (a couple hundred) settled to the bottom and become benthic. One group had more than three...

I got him last week and he's in my community tank at the moment, but his own tank is cycling as we speak! He's only about an inch right now, so he's been really good with the other fish (Paradise fish, some cories, guppies, and danios). I just really loved this pic (it's the background on my...

So my LFS has a bunch of small cichlids (1"), including a couple of electric blues which I would like to get, the only thing is I have a 36 gallon community tank, and from what I'm reading they would outgrow it quickly. Any thoughts on getting a small one now, and setting up a bigger tank to...
