If what you have in your tank looks what is pictured at the beginning of this thread then what you have is not hydra. It is a fungus of some sort. I have not found any specific detail on exactly what it is. That being said it if you want to remove it from your tank you should decrease feeding...

I was thinking the power head would be more beneficial for the fish in terms of directional flow. That way they could swim in the current. That being said which do you think is better i didn't even think of adding a second filter but i can defiantly see the benefits of that.

I recently set up a 29gallon heavily planted tank and am currently running an AquaClear 30 for filtration. It filters 150GPH and yet there doesn't seem to be much flow on over half or the tank. There are a few dead spots so I am considering adding a powerhead to increase flow and remove all of...

Hmm i guess I have only have had experience caring for the larger varieties and know from experience how aggressive they are. I just assumed the aggressive nature would carry over into the dwarf versions. Good to know!

Sorry i guess the title of the thread being "Best light for my 10" is a little misleading. Nonetheless the distance to the substrate is the most important thing when it comes to light intensity. Both 20L and 10 gallon aquariums have a 12" height so I don't see how CFLs aren't relevant to the the...

I would wait a while to dose ferts. I started dosing 2-3 weeks into a new tank with fluorite substrate and it caused my diatom bloom that was previously dormant to explode. There will plenty of nutrients in the water column without ferts for the first 4-6 weeks. After that a dosing regiment...

Check out this guide. It should offer you some help in terms if lighting. http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/showthread.php?t=105774 I also have a 10 gallon tank which I run with DIY Co2 and use 2x 13 watt CFL daylight bulbs on. If you want evidence that your plants will go bananas with this...

I totally understand. I'm sure there are other fully aquatic frogs out there but by far the most common are the African frogs of varying varieties. This is due to their hardiness and ease of care. If you want to have frogs in your tank without spending to much you might consider adding a small...

The frogs they sell at petsmart here are dwarf African frogs. Do no put these frogs in a tank with fish. They are highly aggressive. I have cared for about 10 of their larger counterparts for a length of 2 or 3 months and their feeding frenzy is like nothing I've seen from captive fish. They are...

I am relatively new to the hobby and will try to give you as much background to my current situation as I can. First off my tank is cycled. I do weekly water tests and 30% water change and currently have the following water chemistry in my 10 gallon tank ammonium:0 nitrite:0 nitrate: 10ppm Ph...
