So I just closed on a refi of my house and I have a little extra money from the closing. I am trying to decide if I should go with a nano-cube or a bigger tank. there are advantages to both: Nano Pros: *The nano-cube comes with everything it needs.... pumps, power head, 8 WPG 50/50 lighting...

I've been scarce around the boards for the last year or so... Been reading some posts, but been vry busy with life... anyway.... apparently, while I was gone, LR.com has gone out of business??? Even their website doesn't exist any more.... Just wondering where the favorite place to get LR &...

I'm really in shock and upset right now. So I'm getting ready to buy the necessary items for my 10 GAL conversion from FW to a nano reef. After looking at the prices, and seeing that JBJ has lowered their prices since the last time I looked, I decided to call the only chain store around me...

I had in my 10 gal what the chain pet store sold me as 2 "Minor Black Spotted Tetras"....I found out yesterday that they are actually "Serpae Tetras". They have been in my tank for 6 months and have always done wonderfully....always kept to themselves. I recently removed a decorative corner...

I use a Freshwater Master Test Kit from Aquarium Pharmaceuticals. I have a problem with this kit. I can't stand how the cards to read the results have such a huge range in them.... For example: Nitrate card has several comparison colors that jump by large ppm increments. they go from 0 ppm -...

Okay...my 10 gal FW has been going through another cycle 6 months after finishing the original cycle. My ammonia has dropped and my Nitrites are now at 0 ppm. 2 things concern me though.... 1. My ammonia never went all the way back down to 0. It spike VERY high for a VERY long time, but it...

I'll apologize now for the long post. Okay, I'm am OFFICIALLY concerned at this point. I have been having a problem with Ammonia, and can't seem to get a handle on it. I started my tank in October of last year. I did a fishless cycle on the tank and watched the Ammonia spike up to 10 ppm...

Hey everyone. I am gonna be switching the filter on my 10 gal fw setup. I currently have a HOB that is made for a maximum of 10 gal (it came in a box with the tank.) I am wanting to switch to a bio wheel setup. Any suggestions? I am thinking something that will handle, say, 30 gal even...

I have 4 Cory Cats in my tank...one of them has strated acting very weird. The 4 of them have alway preatty much stayed together and have been fine. I noticed in the last few days that the biggest of them....a Peppered Cory....has become anti-social...he no longer stays around the othe corys...

It is with great regret that I announce the passing of a friend. Gouram-butt was the first fish I ever picked out for my aquarium. He passed while I was at work today. He got his name from the fact that when I first got him, he would hide in my artificial caves and never come out if I was...

Just wondering if anyone else is also into SCUBA diving also. If so....do you know of any good forums on the net??

Okay....you can see below to see the system I have....I know that Nitrates are not toxic to fish, but my nitrates are currently running at 160 ppm or above. I had a cory cat disappear and I thought he had committed suicide by jumping out of the tank and being eaten by an eager cat or dog, but...

Hey guys....I'm in Virginia Beach visiting my wife's brother and family. He has a 75 gal sw reef tank. Only fish he has in the tank is a hawk fish and a Tang. We noticed last night that there is something wrong with the tang. Both of its sides are extremely distended. When he swims, he...

Okay....I know this may cause a bit of a ruckus, but here goes anyway. I am planning a new SW tank. It will be a 90gal. I was in the local small lfs yesterday and was told some things that I really didn't like hearing. When I told my lfs guy that I was thinking of buying keys rock he told me...

okay...here is my problem: I have a cloudy tank that I can't seem to get cleared up. a few of my fish also kept shooting to the surface as if they were not getting enough oxygen. Here is my setup: 10 gal freshwater 1 dwarf fire gourami 2 minor black spotted tetras 2 albino cory catfish top...
