It's been about two years since i broke down my tank and sold everything. My stepson was telling me about his fish at his moms house and that was it, the bug bit me! I'll be picking up my new craigslist find tomorrow morning, a 40 gallon - breeder i'm pretty sure. The tanks i've had in the past...

So I found a biocube 8 on craigslist for $50. I haven't gotten it yet but so far I know it doesn't come with lights. People usually upgrade the lights in these things anyways right? So no big deal really. What kind of lights does everyone recommend? Also I will be needing a powerhead, or is the...

So over the last few days I have gotten a new-to-me 29 gallon tank and stand into my basement, emptied, cleaned up (mostly) and set up. I went out tonight and got 30 gallons of saltwater from my LFS, but they were out of the live sand, can i add sand after the water is already in the tank...

So this morning I woke up to find my filter overflowing :banghead: I have a 29g tank with matching stand (one of the pressed board type). Everything is cleaned up and drying out, but would it be ok to use the stand again even though it has been wet? I have fans blowing on it to dry it out, but...

This afternoon i noticed that one of my 5 pepper corys is just sitting in the corner of the tank, looking somewhat bloated and breathing heavily, also its mouth seems to be stuck open? It didn't even put up much of a fight when i caught him to put into my hospital tank so I can keep an eye on...

Ok everyone, it's crunch time for me! I have always dreamed of having a saltwater tank, i've read a few things here and there about the care and keeping, and i've stood in the fish-i-cant-have area of my lfs for hours. But now that someone is GIVING me a complete setup in just under a week, i'm...

I have 2 yoyo loaches, when i got them they were about the same size, now one is getting a little bigger than the other and it looks like his stripes are not as defined. Would this be because he is growing or is there something wrong with him?

So now that my new tank is up and running thanks to everyones advice on here, i was wondering about stocking it. Currently i have 4 glofish (i moved them over from the 10g just to add color) 6 rosy barbs, 3 albino corys, 1 panda cory and 1 sterbai cory (i've seen lots of debate on corys and...

Ok, I just got this tank about a week ago, cleaned it up and did a leak test, now i'm ready to set it up and i'm nervous about the stand! Is it normal to not have anything to support the bottom?

Ok, just got some sand today for my new 30 gallon. Many people on here recommended pool filter sand, i got a 50 lb bag for about 10 dollars, great deal! But the salesman said the sand was 20 grit? The grains look pretty large to me, will this kind be ok or should i return it?

Well I just bought a new-to-me tank last night, 29 gallon tank in great condition, stand and everything that it needs to run for 15 bucks! I couldn't believe it! Gotta love craigslist! Anyways, i've never gotten a used tank before, so do I need to clean it? I was told it had not been used for a...

So I went to my boyfriend's house today and his tank is a mess!! It's a 39 gallon with what looks like a bacterial bloom in the process of clearing up. The ammonia is high, 6 ish so immediately i did a 50% water change. But the top of the water is almost like a clear oily-ish film? Does anyone...

I've done everything! Tried the meds, the salt treatment, frequent water changes and the higher temp water but nothing is working! Its been over 2 weeks and my fish still has white spots. Other than the spots he's doing fine, swimming eating etc. any more suggestions?
