Will Pimafix hurt plants? I know it says it won't but does anyone have experience with it?

I bought a piece of driftwood 5 days ago. soaked it for a day and then tied Anubis and java moss to it. I went to place it in the tank and it floats, so I have positioned on top so that the wood is completely covered and all the plants stay in the water. today I went to fell if the buoyancy of...

I have a 60 tall tank. Ph of 7.6. Kh ^knot 4. Ammonia nitrite are at zero. I don't have a liquid nitrate test but the strips say zero for nitrate, which I don't believe is correct. I want to increase CO2 but I've have been trying for a while with a DIY system with the Hagen elite filter for a...

I Have a 5 gallon quarinrine tank that has been sitting, and not running, with water for about a month. A biofilm has formed on it and the water is dirty. This week I would like to clean it out but I don't know if it would be better to get rid of the entire tank If not, what should be used to...

Haven't added plants, new fish, anything in about 6 months and a few days ago, I rearranged my plants and notice one snail in the tank layer that day. Now there are about 20 snails. How is this possible? Where did it come from.

Does anyone know what organism this is? It's about 2 mm long.

Does anyone know what the ingredients are in seachems excel? I've checked seachems website and other sources but can't find what is actually in it and if it actually forms CO2 or carbonate of any kind. I'm just curious because I am studying water chemistry and am a huge fan of aquariums as well.

What type of algae is this. I don't care about knowing how to treat I would just like an ID. Thanks.

I have a planted 60 gallon with 3 alb cories and 7 red eye tetras as of right now. The tank is cycled, nitrites are 5 ppm kh is about 4 drops. pH is 7.8. NH3 and NO3 are zero. The substrate is eco complete. My problem comes from the 3 cories. Each one are losing their barbels, their dorsal...

Grows very quick, doesn't looks green... I'm guessing hair algae? Any ideas how to obliterate it?

I just bought an aqueon water changer and changed 40% of the water. This is the first time that I am seeing my plants releasing O2 in 2 month since I've had them. There were tons of bubbles that formed on the wall when I changed the water and I'm thinking that maybe some dissolved co2 is causin...

My plan is to create a water changer with a bucket raised a few feet above the tank on a shelf and drill a hole through the bottom of the bucket and shelf. Then place a siphon hose through tr bottom and fit a cut off valve on the hose. Then I can use a garden hose to fill the bucket, treat the...

Just bought 3 red eye tetras a few days ago and had to quarantine them because they didn't look too colorful compared to my other red eyes. They have gotten even lighter since then and I wanna see if I could treat them. What disease could this be, neon tetra disease maybe?

What is this plant, and will it grow if trimmed and replanted?

I am dirting my 10 gallon and was wondering what to use to sift the soil. Are the larger pieces of wood in the soil good, bad, do I even have to sift?

I was wondering how many people actually quarantine new fish. I was thinking of getting a 10 gallon kit to use and was wondering if that's big enough to quarantine larger fish such as rainbows. Money is an issue and I can't go much over 50$

I'm thinking of using my 5 gallon tank with heater, lights, filter, ect. to house a betta fish with some live plants. Do these fish destroy plants or are they fine for them?

Just bought 5 red eye tetras and heard they can be a bit nippy. Anyone have problems keeping them with other community fish.

As of right now. I don't have fish in my tank but I am using a DIY yeast for co2 for my plants and in order to keep the hose in the water, I use a small clamp to attach to a suction cup. The clamp is plastic but ha a small pier of metal which has rusted. I'd this bad or will a small amount of...

My tank is slowly showing signs of algae on the walls and now the tank is becoming a bit green. Been running for a week with 216 w lights on a tall 60 gallon and using molybdenum as a fertilizer with a small amount of co2 running, about 15 ppm. How can I stop this before it overruns the tank

Right now, I am running a DIY yeast for co2 and I am using a fine pored air stone to diffuse the gas... Not good enough. I need some ideas for a good but cheap co2 diffuser. I have looked online for the elite filter for 2.5 gallons which can be converted into a diffuser but I can't find it so I...

Can anyone identity this plant?

I am wondering what the highest temperature that an aquatic plant can tolerate. Specifically java moss, fern, Anubis, swords, and other tropical plants.

A week ago I put in about 20 plants and have been cycling with fish food. Tank is balanced with 215 watt light on a 60 gallon and about 40 ppm co2. Plants are doing well so far but I noticed today that there are spider web like white hairs on the tanks glass. I'm not sure if it is a bacterial...
