Are you cutting a recess in the top? I'm thinking it would make the tank more secure. Planning on building one myself. Where did you get the plans?

Appreciate the responses. What's a good source for drilled tanks, or are there pre-drilled options?

Hey guys long time member here. So unfortunately I had to nuke my old FW set up when I moved into my new home. I'm planning on converting my old 55 into a SW hence why I'm here. I know there are tons of info in these forums but I have specific questions on whether I'm able to use some of my...

EI is a fertilizer dosing regimen. It can be purchased from Green Leaf Aquariums. To be honest you can get by just dosing Excel and Flourish. Both products by Seachem and readily available. Snails are not the culprits. Pinholes, browning, yellowing all point to lack of nutrients. Sent...

Invest in a QT( quarantine tank). This will save you multiple headaches and money. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Gotta be honest I would keep the 5 as QT tank. Keep it bare bottom, little to no decor, and a cheap filter w/heater. This tank will become indispensable as a way to intro new fish and as a hospital. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I have anubias nana. I would say a nutrient problem. I had poor lighting for years with no issue. I added a Planted Plus LED and started an EI regimen. Now it's growing faster than I can believe lol Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I added kubotai to my 55. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Actually you have watch for their barbs on the fins. The skin is ok to touch. I used to own pictus cats. In a nutshell they're very active especially at night. They love caves to hide in during the day. They will eat whatever can fit in their mouths. I learned this the hard way lol I don't...

Nope you don't need the carbon at all. You can replace the carbon with a 2nd sponge or biomax insert. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I love mollies. Believe it or not they have a lot of personality. I had one gold dust female for over 4 years. She used to nibble on my fingers during water changes and let me scoop her up with my hand sometimes. Very cool fish and very hardy. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

As said in the previous post. Rinse media in tank water during PWC. Ditch carbon and add a 2nd biomax insert. You can get a cheap pipe brush from a dollar store to maintain tubes. Also if you want you can add a piece of panty hose over the intake. I do this on my AC50 and my canister to...

If your tank is new then it's probably just diatoms which will go away on its own. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm pretty sure a lot of us has more than three but I'll try to narrow my list down lol Guppies: While there are some very pretty specimens and varieties, I never had the urge to keep them. Plecos: I'm meh about them. I do like the look of the long fin varieties though. Skirt tetras: I tried...

Keep the HoB until the 406 is seeded. Then add the second canister. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice
