Would two-90 watt halogen flood lights be sufficient for a 20 gallon (tall) planted tank? The lights seem to be very bright. If not, any cost effective suggestions? In the range of $80ish or less, thanks.

I have a 55 gal (4 ft) that I plan on completely restocking. Before I do that, I want some nice LEDs but I don't want the top of my tank exposed (hanging lights etc.). Right now I have standard black lids that fit perfectly on them with two 20 inch fluorescent light housings. Obviously my...

I have 1 main 55 gallon tank and 3 empty tanks 10, 20, 30 gallon that I want to use strictly for raising fry and recovering females. Right now my 55 gallon houses a male OB peacock (about 4 inches), 2 females OBs (3 inches) and an electric blue ahli (Maybe 4.5 inches). I had a melanochromis...

I was browsing through videos and I found this video with a beautiful strain of algae that the uploader is unsure of what it is. Does anybody know? And if so, how can it be cultured? Demasoni Holding Female with Fry in algae - YouTube

I have just successfully bred my Electric Blues and currently I have my female residing with her fry in a 30 gallon tank. I'm positive that there are over 50 fry in there and I would like to maximize the survival rate. Any advice or comments would be appreciated. The 3 pictures are of the Male...

My brine shrimp growout tank has failed me about four times and now that my electric blue is holding, I need to convert that 10 gallon saltwater to a freshwater tank to house a couple juveniles so they don't eat the fry that are about to hatch. I was wondering If I use the same water from my...

These fish have great interest at nipping on my fake plants and anything that has some algae growth to it. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to grow algae on a couple of round river rocks and add them to the tank. If so, would I have to aerate the water in which I grow the algae? And...

I have a 30 gallon with a male and female blue orchid peacock. This is the second time that the female is holding, but the first time that she actually will succeed in hatching the fry (I stressed her out the first time trying to put her in her own tank and she spit them out). I want her to spit...

I had a temporary setup with some juvie OB Peacocks with three juvie Golden Mbunas. Two female and One male. The two females mysteriously died off (Were in bad health from the point of purchase) and all that remained was the male and the peacocks. While in the tank with the peacocks, he showed...

A few weeks ago I purchased a trio of Golden Mbuna. Two female and One male. They are currently being kept in a 20 gallon due to their juvenile size (1 inch females and 1.5 inch male). At first they all ate and were fine. I have no aggression problems due to my elaborate rock setup. It's been a...

What saltwater specimen (Fish, Coral OR Invertebrate) can be kept in a 10 gallon WITH water parameters that can sustain adult brine shrimp? I have a 10 gallon brine shrimp tank, but I went to my local fish store the other day and saw a nice 29 gal column tank housing two false ocellaris clowns...

Hello everyone. Today I spent my sweet time taking pictures and uploading them to my computer in order to add albums. Now that I've finally done it, I would like for everyone to take a look at them and tell me what you think. All relevant input is appreciated. I believe this is the link to my...

Okay so I've been keeping five pre-breeder size cichlids in a 30 gallon tank. 4 females and 1 male. My largest female started holding so I tried to move her to her own 20 gallon, but when I did she spat out all her eggs from the stress of being chased around with a net (Even though I removed all...

I just discovered a clutch of eggs in my Blue-Gold African Cichlid's mouth who I originally thought was a male, but turns out I was wrong. I have one other blue-gold which I suspect is a female, two female blue-faced OB peacocks, and one male blue-faced OB peacock in a tank. I've noticed the...

I currently have a 30 gallon glass aquarium set up in my room with too many scratches for my liking. I've decided to buy a brand new aquarium with the same exact dimensions, except it will be acrylic. My question is: Can I transfer everything from my old tank to my new tank? Same exact water...

I'm currently working on setting up four different tanks in my bed room. So far I have a 30 gallon with five African Cichlids (two Blue-Golds 1M 1F and three Alunocara OB Peacocks- 1M 2F), a 2-liter brine shrimp hatchery and 10 gallon grow-out tank, a 20 gallon tank currently being cycled and a...

Hi everyone, I just recently traded my old 20 gallon tank for a 30 gallon. I put the tank about 5 feet high on my stable book shelf. Stability is not what I'm worried about, it's the chance of the tank leaking and destroying all my electronics down below. I know it's not the smartest place to...
