Can anyone assist with questions about the Fluval 304: What parts of the filter should be cared for and how often? Also, what should not be messed with. I have the manual but it does not make it easy to determine what should be replaced and what is even in my filter. It has been...

I have a 26gal. bow front tank with a pea gravel substrate and some good flat rocks. I also had some plants. However I saw a planted tank at a lfs (fins and feathers in Broadlands (Ashburn, VA) and LOVED it. I have 2 10 gal tanks that are empty. I thought, if I clean them out, move over as much...

Kind of like Hyrules and his sick red one ( http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=73308 ) mine is also sick. I need to setup a place for him to quarentine and get better but I don't have a second tank setup. Not sure I can set one up without having to cyle it. Here is the info: I have...

I came home to find what looked like a BIG ass roach (2" by 1" round) in my Fluval bin (a clear bin my filter resides in for safty sake). I looked in there and was like UHG! WHAT IS THAT?! Then looked again and was like WHAT?! OMG *beep*! Looked at my tank like I was going to see another one...

Just as the topic says, thanks.

Hey, I did not know these guys did this. I did not see my crayfish anywhere in my tank and looked from the side and saw a shell. But I did not know it was just a shell, I thought the guy just croaked, could not figure out from what. SO I went to put it out and realized it was just his shell...

Hey everyone, I been putting Stability by Seachem which is a bacteria additive/starter for my 26 gallon tank and I have a pleco with some zebra danis I think they are called. The numbers look ok but I have this kidna scum type stuff on my surface and I don't know what its from. Any ideas as to...

Where do you get your fish and plants? I hear of people buying their items online but is it safe to get livestock from somewhere you cant easily see the stock? Also how long does it take to get fish online? Scott

Is this something special for planted tanks or does it just look nicer? I know its not just rock but made up of minerals and such correct? Is it easier to plant in that vs regular tank gravel or peagravel? Thanks

I have a 26gal tank that is semi planted. I hope they grow to fill in more but do you need a CO2 feed for heathier plants? How much does a real setup cost? How much can you do a DIY setup for? I have a paintbal tank I can use. Just does not have a flat bottom. Thanks PS Here is my tank...

Do Gouramis eat plants? I was thinking bout getting a few dwarf ones but I heard they will eat my plants. Here is my tank with no fish in it for the moment. The 26 gal bow front. Thanks.

Hey everyone, hope you all had a kick butt weekend. I came up with an idea I thought you might be interested. Maybe its not new to you. With my first tank, even though its a small 10 gallon, I always hated filling my tank back up after water changes because the water kicked everything all over...

Well, I went out and got plants for my tank. It is currently cycling. Well at least I am using something like bio-spira. It says you can add fish after 24 hours. It has been 3 days and I was not comfortable adding fish, so I went out and bought plants. I got the rocks from my parents. Here is a...

If I am correct, the point in a cycle is to set the water up and make it safe for your fish when you get the ones you want. But in the past, I have started tanks and just put fish in the next day with none of them dieing. Was I just lucky? Please riddle me this... Why cycle? What do I look...

I got my Fluval 304 delivered today. I just finished setting it up, which was not as easy as I expected. Seems the directions are not 100% clear and they left ouf some parts in the process to setting it back up. Anyway, I figured it all out fine, its up and running now and amazingly quiet. The...

NO3 = 18 NO2 = 0 GH = 75 KH = 40 pH = 7.8 My new tank currently is at these numbers - per my: Jungle - 5 tests in one strip - quick dip (purple label). Can anyone tell me how I go about cycling without fish? Or is using fish easier? I will do a search but I was hoping someone could tell me...

hey, are there bowfront underground filters or do you just get one to fit a 12" x 24" tank? Also, if I am going to have a Fluval 304 - should I also use an UGF with something like a powerhead and filter for media filtration? Thanks

there are serveral stickys that are out of date (dec-jan, and one about winning a gift cert) maybe others.

Why do so many people have ciclids, are they just easy to keep or do u like their looks or what? They seem pretty boring and unattractive to me in a generic way. Thx

I like dwarf gouramis for their color but I don't see many people listing them in their profiles. Are these guys pretty easy to keep? Any gouramis for that matter. I wanted a salt water tank but not sure I can set that up right now, fresh is cheaper. I want colorful fish in my tank. any other...

Ok, I have determined that I want a canister filter but am not picky about brand as long as its decent quality. I cant spend more than $80 right now. Any suggestions eheim, fluval, anything, I just cant make up my mind. I'm not sure what I am going to put in my tank but can't I set up a...

Any very experienced disagree with any of this? http://www.marinescene.com/saltwater_basics.shtm? Thanks for input.[/url]

I dont see a link to my profile anymore and need to update it.!??!
