I plan to start a reef tank sometime next year, but as I look up the info for what I'll need, I suppose I'd like to get a few basic sayings from you guys. I have two options: a 55gal or my 36gal bowfront, both lowly stocked with freshwater fish and I plan to move all into one of them. I guess...

I'm planning to create a Red Cherry Shrimp tank for my 5 gallon once my 10 gallon is set up for my betta fish, but I was wondering on how many I could keep in there? I'm going to buy about 10 so they can easily breed and I can feed them to my fish. But fish I need to know my limit! I tried...

QUIKRETE® - Sand - Commercial Grade I believe that is the correct link. I bought some of this sand for my 10 gallon, but didn't wash it. It didn't cloud my water or anything, and it looks pretty clear. No fish have been added yet; as I am a bit afraid. :p On the bag it says that it MIGHT...

Well, my friend and I made DIY co2 systems with a 2lter pop bottle with sugar and yeast and overnight I left it to do its thing and my whole tank was cloudy the next day; couldn't even see my fish. Now a day later after a few water changes my tank there is the co2 goop everywhere. I decided to...

I have a white fungus that has basically eaten away all of my swordtail's tail. She's the only one in the tank that has it and is often hiding and wont come up to feed. I took pictures with my iPod, but it doesn't show it too well and I don't have it with me. I am using a Maracyn medicine that I...

Gooseneck Desk Lamp - Black : Target I'm planning to buy a cheap light like this to grow some plants in my 15 gallon tank. Does anyone know how much electricity a lamp like that uses? I feel that since its not meant to probably be on for 10hrs a day, it might take more electricity than an...

50 lb. All-Purpose Gravel-115150 at The Home Depot Is this gravel safe? I'm sure they couldn't possibly have done anything to it... but I might as well ask anyway. :) And they have organic Miracle Gro that I wanna use for planting... as long as dirt is organic it's aquarium safe?

I bought some rummy nose tetras for my 55 gallons and it appears that they brought some ick with them. So now I'm gonna try the heat and salt route like I had with another tank, but I'm wondering how much salt I should use that wont harm live plants and fish that shouldn't be in salt water like...

I was planning to get a cheap light form Home Depot, but I'm wondering if its safe.. I found it from a youtube video but I cant see the top of the tank so I'm not sure what they have supporting something like it. 4-Lamp T8 4FT Electronic Resi 120-Volt-71038 at The Home Depot Anyone used one or...

I've been kinda looking around the internet, but there is a Knight Goby for sale for 5$ and I was wondering about getting one. Apparently this one eats anything of 1 inch or smaller.. so I'm wondering what do they eat and will they continue to eat smaller fish? What are they not compatible with?

Db Solarmaxhe2 Double T5 10000k Strip W/led 48 Zoo Med AquaSun T-5 HO Double Light Linear Fluorescent Hood at PETCO I'm wanting to purchase one of these for my 55 gallon tank, but would like opinions. I'm looking for a good lamp that'll grow plants and is under 100$ or that exactly. Anybody...

I'm gonna set up a 55 gallon with supposedly a low light setting, and I"m wondering what kind of bushy plants are available. I hear of Anubias and java plants.. but those don't look too attractive to me. I'm planning to put in fertilizer and I have an eco-complete substrate, so hopefully...

I have a 55 gallon tank being ready to set up and I was gonna put my filter into the 20 gallon that is already cycled. Will that create a mini cycle with tank if I still have my 20 gallon filter into it? They are both bio-wheels. I just want a quicker way to cycle this filter before I set it up...

Hagen Zen Marina Betta Kit at PETCO I've been thinking about making a cherry shrimp tank, but I wanted something small that requires very little patience and has some style to it. I think this'll suite them well. So how many can I put in there? Is it possible to put in other shrimp than the...

I'm wanting to create a moss wall and I saw someone had suggested once of Nylon Screening that is easily found in hardware stores. My question is: is it safe? What should I look for in harmful things for an aquarium if I choose not to use this?

So I'm looking into for getting a 55 gallon aquarium in a few weeks when I've got the cash and I'm wondering about filters... which are the best out there? I personally admire the bio-wheel filters because they seem the best to have.. but is it about the same to have a, for example, simple tetra...

I'll be getting a 55 gallon tank in a month or so and I've been admiring the bichirs.. and I was wondering if mollies and other medium sized fish I could put with him if I'm able to get one? I know that I would be housing mollies and 1 red tail shark. Would the dinosaur bichir get so big that...

Is ick guard by tetra okay for bushynose plecos? I forgot to check and I put it in there for my other fish already. Should I take them out or is it okay? One tablet was used for a 15 gallon

This may be a silly question but I need a 5 gallon aquarium and I was wondering if I got sand and put fry into it, would they eat it? Its seems like sand is small enough, but I've never owned that instead of gravel.

I think my nitrate is at 5.0 and that was after a 50% water change. I'm doing another one but is there anything I can do? or I just do water changes?

I've noticed a very few white spots on my little balloon molly since I got him, but they kept dissapearing and reappearing. I thought it was ick but was told it may not be; well today I am very sure.. my swordtail has quite a few spots on his tail. I upped my temperature and added salt to my...

I bought a Flora Sun Max Plant Growth light (5000k high intensity) to replace my Aqueon 8000k normal light. Well... I can't seem to get it working. Even putting in the old light, it won't turn on. I try to turn the light as far as it'll go, but it won't turn on and I have no idea since there are...

Once my 20 gallon (high) has sand put into it, I think I'll be getting some plants to go with it. I was just wondering on people's opinions of some easy plants that can usually be found in a local petstore and create a pretty landscape that looks like what fish would in out in the wild. I hear...

I'm new to this site with wanting to seek some real answers that'll solve my problems with my poor fish. I've had a few molly fish deaths and I go to local pet stores for answers, but I get too many different ones without any changes in losing fish. So I got my first 20 gallon fish kit about...
