I've been trying to convince my husband forever to let me start a saltwater tank. I have a 20 gallon freshwater, a 2.5 gallon betta, and a 4 gallon red cherry shrimp tank, but I LOVE the idea of having a pico reef. For Valentine's my husband said I can finally start my SW tank! WooHoo! I...

I've decided to get either the aqueon evolve 2 or 4 to build my pico reef. I want to do some really basic corals that would be very easy to take care of. What do you suggest? Would the stock lighting in the evolve be sufficient to care for them?

Good news: my cherry shrimp finally had some babies! I see lots of cute little tiny shrimp swimming around my tank. Bad news: I have noticed some small, teeny tiny baby snails, which is weird because I haven't introduced any new plants in several months... How do I get rid of the baby...

I'm about to start my pico reef and I have $100 for the tank. I am between the aqueon evolve 8 (brand new) for $89, a used 8 gallon biocube for $85, or a used biocube 14 for $100. Which would you get? Or if not these, what?

Ok, I really really want to start a saltwater tank! Ice been doing a lot of research, and have started a journal, though I don't even have a tank yet. One question I have is about sand. I have read different things about this topic. I live really close to a beach with beautiful white sand...

One of my red cherry shrimp is almost black. What could be wrong with it?

If I started a 3 gallon pico reef, what could I stock it with? I know my options are limited with fish if I could get any at all, but if you were stocking a 3 gallon, what would you put in it? (Shrimp, snails, starfish, gobies, etc.????) Any ideas are welcome

Guys, I'm super excited!! I have been wanting a GBR and I finally found one!!! I bought him along with some Cichlid pellets! I can't wait to get it acclimated!

I just got my cherry shrimp today and this one has some yellow stuff at its belly. Is this one pregnant?

Ok guys, don't panic. I know to not keep a betta in a 1 gallon, but I put him in there for picture sake. I have ordered a yellow shrimp for this tank and am getting a couple live plants to replace the plastic one, but I wanted to show off my Xbox tank that I had been working on. What do you...

Recently, I got a really good deal on a BiOrb. I know 4 gallons really limits my stock, but it was too good of a deal to pass up. I have a 20 gallon planted tank and a betta tank too. I bought 6 ghost shrimp to put in the 4 gallon and bought some plants. I have decided to make it a strictly...

Ok, so I'm addicted to fish and aquariums! I'm new to the hobby and can't get enough. Anyways, I found a 4G biOrb at PetSmart that is priced to clear at 19.99. Considering that it was originally $60, I think it's a great deal! I know stocking is small for a 4G tank, but I'm thinking of doing...

Ok, so I've been looking at all-in-one tanks, and they are super expensive. I know it's expensive to build your own, but I think it would be cool to design my own. I want to make something with about 8 gallons. It's going to be a saltwater nano reef. I want to do something with hidden...

Ok, so I have a 20 gallon planted freshwater tank as well as a beta tank. I've been reading a lot about pico reef tanks, and I'd love to start one. My husband does not share my passion and thinks I should just be happy with my two tanks, but as most if you fish enthusiasts know, it's a hobby...

I have a 20 G freshwater planted aquarium. I currently have 1 Mickey Mouse Platy 1 Molly 2 danios 3 Corydoras I would like to add a fish that can act as a showfish. One that will at least grow to be the largest fish in the tank. Any suggestions?

I got a 20G tank about a month ago and I went planted this time. I don't have many plants yet, but am adding as I go. I noticed that some of my plants are dying. Why is this? What can I do? Do I need to cut off the dead parts? Here are some pictures to help explain...

Ok, I'm not sure that I'm posting this in the right spot or not, but I need some help! I had a 10G freshwater for about a year and a half, and I recently upgraded to a 20G planted freshwater tank. I also have a beta tank. I LOVE my aquariums and am clearly obsessed now. This brings me to...

Hi, I had a 10G tank that I just upgraded to a 20G. What fish would go well with my existing fish? I have 3 corydora, 1 Mickey mouse platy, 1 Molly, and 1 honey sunset dwarf gouramis.

One of my glofish got its tail sucked up against the filter, and it died! How can I be sure this doesn't happen to my other fish? Will they just learn not to swim near the intake, or what can I do???

Hi all! I recently upgraded my 10 gallon aquarium to a 20 gallon aquarium. With the new upgrade, I also had real plants (I previously had plastic ones). When I first aquaplaned my new tank, I miscalculated how many plants to buy, and ended up with a somewhat empty looking tank. So, tonight...

Hi guys! I'm new to the Site. I had a 10 gallon freshwater tank for a year, and I just upgraded to a 20 gallon. I'd love to go larger, but I think it's a good start! I was wondering if you could let me know what you think of my tank, and also lend me some stocking advice. I added a few fish...

I'm not sure if I'm in the right spot, but I think one of my fish layed eggs. When I got home this afternoon, there were 3 sections in my tank of these little white specks. I have some issues: 1. Are they eggs? If not, what are they? 2. What kind are they? I have 3 glofish, 1 blue...

K, so I'm upgrading to a 40 gallon tank today! What are some stocking options for once I get it cycled? What would YOU put in it? And how many of each?

I'm upgrading my current 10 gallon fish tank to a 40 gallon, so I'm thinking of putting a betta in my 10 gallon. I know that Bettas are aggressive and don't do well even with more Bettas, but is there anything I can put with one?

Hi everyone! I currently have a 10 gallon tank. I'm looking into getting a larger tank (between 40-55 gallons). How do I know how many fish I can have? I know it depends on the size of the fish and stuff? But what is a good rule of thumb?
