Hi! Would love for some opinions! I have a 60-gallon tank that has been home to a 12" Oscar, 5" Parrot, 6" Frontosa, and a 4" Peacock for about four years now. I have recently been given a 75-gallon tank by a friend and would love to give my guys more room, but is the move for only 15 gallons...

Hi, one more thing. A couple of people finally replied on another forum. It was suggested that since I replaced the substrate in my tank that I created a new cycle, which is why my ammonia is high. Does that sound right? There are about five people giving me various sets of opinions on how to...

Hello, I am brand new to the forum so please forgive me if this post is in the wrong spot. I have had a 55gl freshwater aquarium up and running for about a year now. Recently (about two months ago) my water turned cloudy. This was after I replaced my carbon and ammonia neutralizer blend (I did...
