So my girlfriend decided we needed another fish tank. This, while I'm busting my rump building a stand for the 72g bowfront I just bought. She sees a little guy in the lfs advertised as a leopard puffer that needed a home. After research I found out he's a green spotted puffer but that's...

So last night I did a nice big cleaning in my community tank. I hook everything back up and goto bed. I wake up this morning and the community tank is overflowing and my mini puffer tank right next to it is half empty. Water must have gotten into the air line and when I turned the air pump...

I am building a stand for a tank I plan on purchasing soon. I just want to double check the measurements. Before I start cutting on the CNC machine. I saw online somewhere that it is 48 inches wide. 12 inches deep on the side and bows out to 18 inches. Is this the glass measurement or...

For anyone following my previous thread, I decided to start a new one instead of constantly bumping the old back up. For those of you who weren't.... I've recently gone through several issues in my tank that resulted me changing out filters and such and the one problem left after a mini...

I've been feeding my puffers hikari frozen blood worms since I got then a couple weeks ago, (I haven't found a source of live food I trust yet, I'm very paranoid about parasites) and today I went to pick them up something else to give them a varied diet. I was gonna get brine shrimp. But...

I'm beginning plan my next fish tank and I want to get one of the tanks listed above. What in wondering is are there any drawbacks to bow fronts? Do they come in glass? Is it harder to find a nice stand/canopy for it? Ect. I'm guessing there are no 55g bow fronts? All I've seen...

I got one of those nifty water changers that goes on the faucet. It works good but I can't seem to get a strong enough siphon so suck up the debris in the gravel. I can see it floating around in the tube but I dont think I am getting much through the hose. The tube is very big... about a 2.5...

I have a 20g long tank that has a 3 inch goldfisha small tetra,danio and Molly all about 1 inch.. Its been up and running for about 2 months now and I still have persistent nitrites... I'm thinking that my filter isn't big enough for my Bio load... I have a marine land 30g HOB with a biowheel...

I'm a couple weeks into my fish less cycle. I'm converting 4ppm of ammonia into nitrates within 24 hours but at the momment my nitrites are holding steady at high levels. I am getting a buildup of nitrates also. I just want to make sure that high leveled of both nitrites or nitrates won't...

My girlfriends grandparents have a small koi pond in their backyard that's been there about 3 or 4 years. When we started dating almost 2 years ago there were 4 koi about 7-8 inches long. I'm guessing the pond is somewhere between 300 and 500 gallons. For well over a year now, since I started...

I just hooked up a small ehiem canister filter today in my new 10g tank. I dosed the ammonia to 3ppm and added Bio spira and some filter media from my other tank. I'm showing a nitrate reading of about 10 ppm after a few hours. There's no way the cycle went into hyper drive like this, is there?

I just finished cycling my 20g tank and its my first few days without daily water changes.... I just noticed on one particular plant (they're all fake) there are some white/clear strings are hanging off. They are all relatively long 1+ inches and do not move on their own. Most of them look...

I am thinking about starting a second aquarium. Im currently caring for a 20g that houses all my girlfriends fish and decided I would like one of my own. I originally wanted a celestial eye goldfish but after reading decided that it would quickly outgrow the tank and i don't have room in my...

I recently switched out a 5 gallon aquarium for a 20 gallon and under my girlfriends insistence put our fish into it right away. One 3 inch goldfish and two little pink guys about 1 inch long. The next day I got out my brand new bottle of test strips and .... OH NO!!! Things are all screwed...
