I've just set up a simple DIY CO2 injection system. I didn't go through the trouble to use any kind of fancy diffuser. I just used an airtstone. I didn't want to go through the trouble or money, and I'm more worried about the possible negative effects of too much CO2 on my fish. I only have...

I'm thinking about crafting my own homemade CO2 injection system, but I have some questions. I have a ten gallon, and I'm thinking of using one reactor with a seperation chamber and then attaching the line to a small airstone. Does the size of the bottle matter? Will I get more effect from...

I posted a thread on how to dim lighting in my aquarium in order to make my fish more comfortable and to control my algae problem a little. Someone suggested flourish and excel might help with the algae problem. I want to make sure it is well researched before I use it. I have an aubias and...

I have a planted 10 gallon aquarium. I have a few plants. I don't know what all of them are called, but I am concerned about anubias and amazon sword. I currently have two 6500k cfls. They are the kind you get from walmart that are intended for use in aquariums and are 10 watts a peice. I don't...

I'm thinking about going to get a fish for my 10 gallon tomorrow, and the honey gourami seems like it would be a perfect fish for my tank. I think the sunset color variety is the best looking and that's what i'm gonna look for, but I've heard that fish of that color variety may actually be...

When I got my aquarium, about six or seven weeks ago, I had a bunch of nuisance snails come with a plant. I worked hard to get rid of them, and had'nt seen any in about a month. Today I've seen a few little bitty ones. I guess some new ones have hatched out. I have a dwarf gourami. Do you...

I've been an aquarium owner for about a month, and I've really been enjoying the hobby. I have a ten gallon, with a normal incandecent hood that I bought at wallmart. I used the wallmart compact flourecent aquarium lights, and I'm pretty happy with them for the most part. I added some neon...
