    What is this growing on my rock!?

    Does anyone know what this is? It's a dark brown/ red color. It won't wipe off. It Doesn't seem to be spreading. I'm assuming it's some sort of algae. I do weekly PWC and keep my aquarium healthy. Could this be harmful to my fish?

    Help! I have brown water but need to do water change!

    Get reverse osmosis water, your lfs probably sells it for cheap. You just need to add minerals that are lacking for the type of fish you have.

    Power outages

    I live in Boston so winter is always bad. I bought a small generator a few years ago and it works great. Lucky I've only needed it a couple times.

    Identifying a cichlid?

    Hard to tell because it is so small, and I also don't know too much about South Americans but I would guess either a Texas cichlid or a fire mouth.

    Reverse osmosis

    I have a high level of silicates and nitrates in my tap water. That's why I use RO water.

    Reverse osmosis

    Does anyone have a reverse osmosis system hooked up? Is it worth the money to have one or should I just keep going to my lfs for a 1$ a gallon for the to water?

    Help my whole tank is covered with green stuff!!

    Water changes and turn your lights off. You can put a towel or something over the tank so no natural light gets in

    Optimal Filtration

    I run a 406 and a 306 on 'y 55 gallon (I know it's a lot but I like to keep a well overstocked tank). I also have a 850korla circular pump that helps out a lot. It gets all the small stuff to the intakes

    Is breeding overrated?

    I raised a batch of 25-30 yellow lab fry. It was cool I'm glad I had the experience of doing it, but I will never do it again. Way too much work and I don't have the time to do day water changes and 4-6 feeding a a day. Now, if they breed in the tank I just let nature do it's course. Some live...

    Results from my substrate swap

    Looks really good man! I have sand in my tank too. It's cool to watch the fish transform the bottom of the tank because they are always moving the sand around the tank!

    Water becomes cloudy after adding sand

    Put some sort of water polish foam in the filter, that will help clear it up quick. Your local fish store will carry it.
