I just found out some nice pieces of driftwood that someone was selling off Craigslist and wanted to add them to my 55G mbuna tank but I wanted to get some advice. I have soaked them in hot water as I don't have a pot big enough to boil them - The biggest piece barely fit in a 20G tank. Now I...

Hi everyone, I am sure this has been discussed many times and trust me I have seen thousands of threads on the internet but I wanted to ask a few questions before I get started with my stocking ideas. First, I would like to ask you all where you buy your cichlids. I think a lot of you might buy...

Hi everyone, So I got a Seaclear 55G acrylic tank/stand/canopy on craigslist. I noticed that the top of the stand bowed a little and the tank would not make full contact at the end on both side so I decided to put a piece of plywood between the tank and the stand. Now, after 2 weeks of the...

Here is a LED light I built (based on Joey from The king of DIY). I used half round PVC gutter, 2x 3/4" PVC end caps, a 3/4" PVC pipe and 2 end caps for the gutter). I already had the LED strip (which it was a little longer though) and the screw and bolts. The interior is covered with reflective...

Hi everyone, I just purchased a 55G Seaclear aquarium, stand and canopy about a week ago from Craigslist. The tank was in pretty good shape specially for what I paid for it. So far, I have used my Novus kit to get the tank back into a better state that would hopefully satisfy me (once filled...

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to re-introduce myself as I have been out of the hobby and forum for a long time. I started the hobby back in 2011 and I believe I step away in 2013 after moving to a new house. Since them, I have been keeping my eyes out to buy an used acrylic tank but good deals...

Hi all, I am posting because I have a little bit of an issue/confusion here. I have a 20G tank and found out that my fish have Ich so I am doing the heat&salt method to treat them. I will not go in too much details but my house temperature should be 67 degrees during the day and at night, and...

Hi all, I finally chose to ask for help. I have had my tank for about a month and a half now. I followed the fishless cycle article and got some (healthy) seeding material from a friend. (Btw, I have a 20G tank). I started by stocking my aquarium with 3 Gold Gouramis, 1 Pearl Gourami and 4...

Hi all, I did not want to open a thread for this but now I am really wondering what is going on. I have followed the fishless cycle on this website and was able to speed up the process via a filter a friend of mine let me borrowed from is 55G tanks (I have a 20G tank btw). So, at the end of...

Hello, I am planning on buying my fish tomorrow for my 20G tank I just finished cycling. I went to the store today to look at their selection (knowing what I wanted) and see if they have the one I wanted. They have the Pearl Gourami which I wanted but did not have the thick-lipped Gourami...
