I have done several water changes. I am worried about the filter, but I wanted to make sure it is safe to add fish, my kids don't have the patience I have [emoji23][emoji23] a few tetras could save me a world of headache

It is safe to add fish with the sand unsettled as it is, correct?

Top layer of water crap.

I used play sand, and I dumped it in a bucket, filled it with water, sloshed it around, dumped off the top layer or water, repeated twice.

So, when i Last had an aquarium I used sand. I like it, I love Cory cats and loaches and other bottom dwellers. So I rinsed my sand and filled up this aquarium I've run my filter for 24 hours and the tank is still cloudy!! I can even see to the back! I just did a 90% water change and it's all...

I just feel it might be overpacked

I'll just get the old water test kit out and see if it's doing it's job

Another quick question.. how packed should the canister be? I have the pump cranked and was expecting it to blow the thing apart and it moving a trickle.its supposed to move 160gph

Great!! Thanks!!

Here is a pic.. sorta

I could take pictures in a bit. I'm not much on sketches. They usually look like a 2 year old drew them with a crayon

So I bought a fountain pump on clearance from the hardware store and am making my own canister filter using a gallon Rubbermaid jug. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for non fish store aquarium medium to put in the canister. So far I am going Gravel, sponge, pot scrubbers, pillow...

So if I paint with acrylic and put a sealer on it it will be safe for aquarium?

Hey all, I have this idea that I want to make a "post apocalyptic" theme in my aquarium. Kind of a "ruined manhattan" under water. Anyone known of anywhere I can find this type of decor? Or what I could build it with that is aquarium safe? Or what toys that aren't specifically for aquariums that...

Hello fellow enthusiasts, I used to post regularly on here and had a 150g freshwater aquarium community build. Life happened and I was forced to sell it. I've been missing it and my lovely wife decided to surprise me with a 55 gallon set up in my house when I came home one day this week. My...

Wish there was a place around here like that. The few locally owned pet shops their are around here have SOME knowedgeable employees but most are kids who dont know much, or older people who abide by the old water is better rule. Its sad but for me the healthiest fish and best advice, has come...

Bumb because im still curious

Lots of great feedback! Thanks!

Really? No decor criticisms?

No ideas?

Lmao omg that one takes it all.

What kind of pressure do you have on those things?? I have fish swim right up the syphon then turn around and swim right back out!

Its happened to me so many times i dont even get grossed out anymore lol

Ok so i have this giant air pump i bought not sure of what it could do, and have since learned it was pretty much limited to air stones, whatnot. While a bubble curtain is nice and a disc is cool i already have a giant powerhead moving water in my tank almost more than im cool with. So while im...

Im just wondering, does anyone know what species od cory this is? I bought one from my local petsmart, and it bred with my emerald cories. While the babies, now nearly adult size, share most of the characteristics of my emeralds, they have very pronounced red in their tail regions, and near the...
