HELP!!! My inline Up Co2 atomizer is creating back pressure that causes my co2 to rush into my tank. I turned it off but fish aren't doing well. I've got an air stone replenishing the o2. I need co2 for the plants, but I can't let this happen again. Can I still use my inline diffuser or will...

Im conveniently adding pressurized CO2 at the same time I'm setting my Fluval 404. I've got a Milwaukee regulator, Co2 tubing, and rubber adapters to connect the diffuser. I will be getting my tank within the next few says, and a 16/22 diffuser should be coming in the mail soon, along with a...

I'm just wondering if somebody has ever done this. It seems like it would be a lot cheaper than paying for an entire system.

I want to start a guppy and endler breeding project. This is my tank rack set up. Most of the tanks are planted or will be planted soon. All tanks are in the mid 70's and have been seeded with existing media. How would you go about this? Which fish would you put in which tank and how do you...

Want to get some endlers for my new breeding rack I've set up. I don't have to colony breed as I have 6 practically empty tanks, totaling 100 gallons, but I just kind of like the self sufficiency kind of idea of the colony. Any tips or advice? I would probably not be doing this with pet store...

I bought the fancy T5 4 bulb 54 watt light for my 55, and I only been using 2 bulbs to hopefully handle the algae. Well I'm to the point where I want to see the brightness! I like my tank but it's day and night with the second set of bulbs on. I'm dosing PPS Pro, and I just got up to 80ml of...

I'm thinking of getting a school of about 8 Cory cats for my 55 gallon planted (See 55 Transformation thread). I don't want huge ones, but I want some really active ones. What do you prefer?

Here goes nothing. I've been waiting to do this for a long time. Hopefully by the end of the summer or sooner, this will be a fully operable planted aquarium. Got some big plans for this tank, but I need your help! Just got the 4-bulb T-5 HO fixture in today. Now I have to rehome some of...

I have gotten so interested in the hobby and have finally gained enough experience (at least so I think) to set up a very small scale fish room. I have all but one of the tanks I need and I have the tank rack just about complete. Just needs a little more wiring and a mount for the top light to...

I'm looking for somewhere that I can get 2 or 3 males and 10 or 12 females. Let me know! thanks

My bristlenose spawned for the first time and the eggs hatched 10 days ago. The fry already ate their egg sacks and have gained their color already. The male has left the cave, but only for very breif increments at breeding time. As far as I know, NO escapees! Should I worry? They are 10...

My bristlenose spawned for the first time and the eggs hatched Saturday night/ Sunday morning. It's now Thursday, the egg yolks are gone and they are still in the cave, with a protective father. My question, should I move the to another tank? Tank: 55 gallon Inhabitants: 2 Rams 3 African...

I've really wanted some Rams for a while, but I've been wanting Electric German Blues but I see an add on craigslist for a 6 month old pair of Long Fin Standard Germans Blues for $10. Is it worth it? I haven't had rams before, I just like how they Electrics look like Christmas lights. I don't...

Either I did something wrong, or I found the greatest food in the world! So I renovated my 55 gallon and got some DW, boiled it, and added it yesterday. , when I got the DW, I decided to try a new food for my plecos. I have 4 in the tank, a 2.5-3 in female calico, a slightly smaller calico...

I'm going to get Odyssea lighting for my 55 gallon tank. I want to be able to grow pretty much anything I put in there,and have them flourish. I know I can't make them grow any faster, but if they do, thats a bonus. I need some help selecting which model. Here are the options: Odyssea T5...

I have a 55 gallon community tank that has some plants in it but besides the foreground plants, none are thriving. It has a gravel substrate only so I plan on switching that and the lights. I was thinking of getting some Eco-Complete substrate? And then capping that off with some of the black...

Does anyone know where to get dome good rocks to silicone together to make a decoration? I want to use slate or something flat like that, but it isn't cheap at the LFS. I heard it is at Lowes or Home Depot but I couldn't find it at my Lowes today :( but then again, I didn't know where to look...

Happy Holidays everyone! I'll try to keep this short. I setup 2 thanks recently, a 10 gallon and a 20 gallon. I've been using Seachem Stability for over a week, and the directions on that say its ok to add fish whenever, as long as I used it for at least 7 days straight. The 10 gallon seems...

With all the knowledge and all the people with experience with mollies on this site, somebody has to have an answer to this! I have searched around but I can't find a straightforward answer! What color/variety of male molly carries the most recessive gene, so that when bred to a variety of...

I have had a tank up for about a year now with guppies. I had almost no problems at all with them until recently, when I added 2 females that I think completely infected my tank. Needless to say, from all those fish and fry that I had hand selected and kept over the past year, are all dead...

I have had 2 brislenose plecos for about a month and a half ago and I just noticed them squabaling. I original thought I had 2 females but I noticed one had very tiny bristles. The bristles have since grown a little but they are still both small. The female is slightly larger than the male...

Do not keep hatchets in a tank without a lid! I was doing a PWC and when I came back, I saw something shiney on the floor and my dog was approaching it. I told my dog no and luckily he is well trained to know to leave it. That hatchet just jumped right out of the tank! :lol: Luckily my tank...

I have noticed some white fungus on some guppies I had after they died (presumably of old age or stress from birthing). I didn't think anything of it until I realized how quickly it came on! They died and by the time I noticed, the fungus already had a good start. Now it looks like some of my...

On my way home the other night I found some lumber by the road and I got to thinking, that would work great for a new stand! I hate the wrought iron stands and the cost of a nice wooden stand. Besides that, most "wooden" stands are actually particle board with a wood looking sticked on it. FYI...
