Normally I purchase Omega One, however they were out, I do not like the other brands they sell as I've read they use a lot of filler and cheap ingredients. I purchased Fluval Color Enhancing flakes. Does anyone know anything about their food? I know they make good equipment, which is why I gave...

This just appeared, not something from the tank, no idea what this is... Strange object sticking out the top fin on its body. http://s16.postimg.org/lqr64youd/IMAG0114.jpg Above is a higher resolution.

I've seen numerous videos on youtube praising them, how to make them etc. Are they really that great? I've read a lot comments saying that they are amazing, others saying they noticed nothing, those that noticed nothing people say they used the wrong media... Is anyone running one of these...

I have 3 Kissing Gouramis in one of my 55 gallon takes with 4 Cory Cats and 2 Clown Loaches. The kissing fish are 4 - 5 inches and 1 of them appears like he / she has chapped lips. The water parameters are good. No nitrites, 7.6PH, 0 Ammonia and ~40 nitrates. None of the other fish are having...

I've seen a thread a while back, cannot seem to find it. Anyways, my Aqueon 5575 filters on my larger tank have these blue "bio-grid" inserts that are strong and ridged I just cut the filter floss to size and it fits snugly into it. My marineland filters do not have this ridged plastic piece...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good digital thermometer? The cheap petco zoomed one I have is off its rocker. Shows 83.4F when the good ol' fashioned one shows 76 - 78F. I've replaced the battery, no luck.

Anyone have any idea what this stuff is? Should I be cleaning it out, is it good? Is it bad? Just never seen this growing on anything...

This is a brand new filter, been running great for about 3 days straight, came home and did not hear the water from the wheels. I noticed it was completely shutoff. Was not pumping water, nothing. The water around the pump was very warm, and also the area above the pump was warm as well. I took...

Is it possible to overdose Microbe-Lift Special Blend? I added double the dose I was supposed to by mistake (should read a little better...). I assume there will be no negative effects?

I read somewhere that you could use a different brand filter cartridge, but I cannot find the article or information anywhere. Does anyone know the alternate brand I can use in my Aqueon HOB filters? Thanks!

Our neighbor is moving and within his backyard he had a small pond that was installed - he is filling it / removing it and asked if I would like the rocks that are in it. They are very nice and I would love to add them to our aquarium instead of these fake decorations. 1. Cleaning them /...

I am really thinking about getting a new filter. The more I read about these filters, the more I feel that the cheesy PetCo Aqueon filter I have just is not cutting it. I do not like that my Aqueon filter has cartridges that are the "all-in-one" type design. I feel that the AquaClear design of...

Unfortunately due to the temps here in TX the water is coming out ~82 - 84F. My tank is 78 - 80F. Is this a major issue? I know the temp needs to be as close as possible, and this is as close as I can get it without leaving water sitting out. I am also getting mixed messages about how much...

I just purchased a 55 gallon tank and the guy at the pet store recommended adding the biomax cylinders into the HOB filter. Just add a little into the bottom of it and he said it would aid in the bacteria generation / effectiveness. Is this crazy? Or for real? The concept sounds, but it this true?

So far on my 29 gallon tank I have been doing 10 gallon water changes about once a month. I inherited this from a friend when he went to college and he explained how to do the changes etc. + reading around. I have heard from some that I should not clean the gravel at all, some say I should just...
