I just got a biocube 29 for Christmas, i have taken out the bioballs and have put a heater in compartment one. Is there anything else I should do before adding water? I added sand already. How long does a cycle usually take?

My driftwood has been getting white egg things all over the outside. I think they might be from my nerite snails (I was told they wouldn't breed). Is there anything else it could have come from? 20 gallon high Anubias, java fern Baby platies and two male guppies (all livebears so no eggs) And...

I accidentally ripped off the stalk of my anacharis when trying to separate it from my java fern. What can I do to keep it alive?!? Can it grow back it's roots? (this is the only one I have and I need it to grow and take over my tank, my lfs doesn't sell them and it came as a hitchhiker.

My java fern is growing algae on it. Is there any safe way to get it off?

I have some fish I would like to get for my tank and I'd like some opinions on which would go well together and which look best. I like cories, cherry barbs, upside down catfish, angelfish, rams, RCS, hatchetfish, any type of fully aquatic freshwater crab, tetras, endlers, and guppies. I am...

This brown algae is growing in my tank, is it ok because it's a newly established ( not even cycled) tank or should I get a snail?

This is my new guppy and endler.

I really like the look of the electric blue crayfish but I also really like yellow RCS and endlers. Could I mix these? I am afraid the crayfish might eat both and my live plants.

I recently started my 20 gallon tank and put a fish in today for a fish in cycle. The ammonia has been rising and nothing is happening to it. Should I do a water change? The ammonia is at .25 ppms. I am using the API master test kit. I have a tank running right now so i put some of the media in...

I will be posting the status of this tank as I go along. Now a question... What would you add? I'm hoping to add some shrimp after cycling. What fish and shrimp are your favorites? I'm seeding the filter media so I am hoping to add fish soon :D

I am planning to get a fluval edge 12 gallon today after dinner. It has an aqua clear filter just like my 10 gallon. How would I seed the filter? Will it insta-cycle it?

I was wondering if RCS are easy to breed. Do they give birth to live young or larva? Will endlers eat the baby shrimp? Could they do well in a 6 gallon fluval edge?

Recently got a test strip kit and after my water change and it registered above 200 nitrates! Is this even possible without dead fish?

I found a great deal on a 150 gallon tank but it currently has a freshwater setup in it. How long would it take to transfer it to a saltwater setup? Should I just get a 29 gallon biocube setup instead? Both are all inclusive except the freshwater has no skimmer and is fifty dollars more.

There is a small, centimeter long, brown worm in my tank! I was doing a water change after adding in a breeders net for my baby fish when I saw a small worm in between the net and the glass and one in the net! They are thick but short worms only visible by watching them move because at first the...

Got a new pleco from my lfs recently and I was wondering if anyone could ID him. Sorry for the quality it is an iPod camera.

As the title states: are fire neon yellow shrimp okay for beginner shrimp keepers? Are they sensitive, timid, or have other downsides?

My platies just had babies so I caught them with a net an put them in a separate container from the tank. I filled it up with tank water and put the fry in and they sunk to the bottom. Will they survive the night until I get a breeders net or box tomorrow? Any suggestions on which one?

My platy suddenly had this red spot on her! Will it go away. Could my male platies be bothering her?

I am creating my first saltwater tank and need a little help picking out fish and corals that might go well in a 29 gallon biocube. I am also hoping to get a couple anenomies. Any suggestions for colorful sea life? I have hard water and a very acidic ph. I'll test my water again soon to get...
