Since I started the aquarium, I always had an algae problem, mostly BGA. Now the sand has started to get some black algae growing on it much like how BGA grows but black. The tank is 10 gallons, very lightly planted (as seen in the photos), has two 13 watt spiral bulbs in the hood pointed...

There has been something going on with my Raspbora for quite a while (a few months or so) which i cant quite seem to figure out. The fish is acting quite normal but I dont know how long long it will live. What can I do to help it?

Recently one of my platies died. It has recently been acting lethargic and its tail fin looked like how it is on the pictures. As far as i can tell it showed no other bad signs. What could have killed it?

I noticed that about half of my zebra or leopard Danios have a bent spine and recently a few zebras died. Is this spine issue related to the deaths possibly?

So i have 3 Zebra Danios in a planted 10 gallon tank because one recently died off of a bent spine. I have a petco nearby and would it be best to return the three and get a school of (5ish) less active harlequin rasboras?

I have had my driftwood in for a few months and now I see some white fuzz on my driftwood and done parts have a greyish tone to it. I can't get a good picture of it. Should I be worrying?

I am thinking of making a mini Bio-Sand filter as a supplement to the normal filtration of my aquarium as a fun project. I think that it may help in the water polishing stage of filtration. I think it would do a better job than the average aquarium filter in removing ammonia, but i do not expect...

So ive had an aquarium for about a year and a quarter with 5 zebra danios and 2 flame (or von rio) tetras. Basically, first i added some java ferns and those have been slowly growing well. I also have some anacharis which at first grew, but then as the plant got bigger, the lower leaves on a...

I have a planted tank with a few java fern which show no tiny growth over a month. What lighting should i get for the plants. I have a light hood that allows for cfl. Im looking for medium to low light. The problem is that the tank is in the sunroom and it is getting a lot of indirect light (no...

So right now i have a 10 gallon with gravel substrate, an aqueon quietflow 10 and 3 cardinal tetras and two zebra danios (werent my choice to get...dad) and it has been running for a little less than a year. So i want to make the tank realistic, so i plan on changing out the incandescents with...

So i have an aqueon quietflow and i decided to change out some sponges i used to replace the normal cartridge, but i feel that i want clearer water, so i removed the blue wet/dry part of the filter with the old mechanical sponge so i have a good bio filter, then i took an empty cartridge and...

I have an established 10 gallon tank which has gravel currently and i want to add some plants to the scene to top the fakes i currently have. I would like to know what i need to do to add plants to what i currently have. Also, i would like to know which plants dont need maintenance. I have a 30...

So i have an Aqueon 10 quietflow filter and i modded the filter media. At first i used some quilt batting that i loosened up and it was still restrictive to the flow even after cleaning. Then i decided to fit in some foam sponges inbetween the bio holster and an empty filter cartridge plastic...
