Hi everyone, I'll be setting up my 110 Gal basin pond soon. I was thinking of putting all the junk, the pump, filter and uv filter in a separate smaller basin and hid it away behind the pond somewhere. It's just that being such a small pond that stuff takes up a lot of the space in it. Is...

My lfs had all male blood red gouramis so I bought two hoping to add a couple females later. Now they have what look to me like mostly female pearl gouramis. Will they breed together? I could give my ten G to a pair of them for a breeding tank, it has lots of floating plants and low current.

Hi everyone, can you tell me if these are males or females? I thought they were males. My lfs got more of these in and i'd like to get a couple females but now they all look the same to me. Thanks.

Recently installed this pump in my 66G planted as a better way to diffuse CO2. It seems to work a lot better than the bubble ladder I was using. But I was surprised to find that the CO2 tubing feeds into the pump output. It injects the gas into the water stream as it shoots out of the pump...

I've been running this tank for over a year now with mixed success. Pressurized CO2 which runs for about 9 hours while the lights are on. I recently doubled the lighting up to 4 T5 HO 39W, 3 are lifeglow 5000K, 1 is a 10000K, I'm waiting for my lfs to get me one more lifeglo. Ecocomplete Dry...

My 66G has tons of reddish brown algae that forms on the glass and plants. It cleans of the glass easily but it would take days to clean it off all the plant leaves. I did a huge clean today of all the glass and ornaments and driftwood and will do WC tommorow but how cam I clean the plants...

Now what do I do??? I got potassium nitrate and potassium sulfate from aquarium fertilizer.com. Don't tell me I'm going to have to read up a whole pile of new stuff! I didn't sign on to this hobby to become a freaking chemist! (the chemistry side of it is pretty interesting though). But...

I can't believe this, my ponds tuning green, same as last year. This year I relocated it into the shade to try to avoid this. I also put a few plants in but they are mosly just wasting away instead of multiplying and absorbing all the light. I could buy a uv filter but the cheapest ones seem...

I have a 105 Gallon above ground basin pond in my back yard with pump and filter. Its been set up for a couple weeks now and I recently added 7 common goldfish, they are about 2 inches long. The problem is they don't seem the least bit interested in food. I have a couple goldfish in my...

I've has these two angels together since they were juveniles in my 66 gallon, they are about adult now. They've been sparing a little for some time but lately they seem to square of and go at each other for hours each day. There doesn't seem to be one stronger or more aggressive than the...

Just got my co2 system with Milwaukee regulator but have no tubing yet to go to the diffuser. Thought that would be easy to find here in my town but the smallest they have is 1/4 inch. I think it needs 1/8th inch tubing, does anyone know for sure? It's not specified in any of the literature...

Help! My tanks been taken over by algae. I presume this is the unicellular algae, or green algea, sometimes called green water. I've had a new T5 HO Dual 39W fixture on there for about a month now running 12 hours a day and just recently dosed with nutrafin plant grow twice, a week apart. I...

Hey! Is this the same kind of stuff? Here's what I've read. Eco-Complete highly porous contains many mineral nutrients will not increase Ph or carbonate hardness contains live bacteria packed in buffered Black Water solution for water conditioning Fluval Plant Stratum highly porous...

Hi everyone, was hoping someone could tell me why my 45G plants are languishing while my 20G plants are doing so well. My 20G looks really nice and lush. It has a single 20 watt T8 life gro bulb and standard colored gravel. Its medium stocked and only recently added any liquid plant...

I've decided I need to upgrade my lighting for my 45G freshwater community tank. I've a few species of plants in there and they are all just kind of existing but not really thriving. Its not a "planted tank" or anything but I do like the jungle look and don't mind if I have to do some pruning...

I had this oily looking film on top of my 45G previously. I didn't go away with water changes. Finally I took sheets of paper towel and dropped then down flat on the surface and scooped them away, doing this repeatedly till most of it was gone. Now it seems to be coming back? Its a fairly...

I'm thinking this is a female lyretail but not sure.

Hi everyone, Well I just bought second hand a 10G that I intend to use for rearing fry but it came with a few fish! 6 neon tetras, 3 guppies, 1 pleco, 1 catfish (haven't actually seen it yet), 1 goldfish (don't know what type),1 dwarf cichlid (I think?) and 2 of some other kind of cichlid...

Well I never really worried about the PH of my water before but after doing some heavy reading about the nitrogen cycle due to setting up my new 45G I decided to test all the parameters on both tanks. Was a bit shocked to find the ph at 5.5 since our tap water here is around 6.8. The tank has...

I got this tank second hand together with a Fluval 305, lots of scratches but now its full of water they don't show up to badly. I cobbled together a stand from 6 X 6s and plywood. Removed all the old silicone around the bottom and resealed it. Filled with water let sit for two days with...

I gotfrom a local municipal water feature. Not sure what it is. It doesn't look like its been doing to well?

I bought this plant at my local pet store, it was not labeled as to species. I like it because it grows like crazy and gives my babies somewhere to hide. I end up removing loads of it once a month or so.
