Has anyone used Chemi-Pure in their filters? If so, do you like it?

Anyone find this in the stores? My fish love this and it's hard to find. I've bought it online but I hate those shipping charges.

Just discovered my fish love fresh spinach!

I just removed my hob filter and u/g filter. I replaced it with a canister filter. It is very quiet now that I'm not using the 2 ower jets for the u/g filter. Do I need to use an air pump & air stones when using a canister filter? I was used to seeing so many bubbles from the 2 power jets. The...

If you have any, what are the tank mates? My 75 gal tank has Silver Dollars, Firemouths & Parrot fish. I'd love to add a few Rummy Nose Tetra. I know they're a schooling fish. Do you think they'd get along?

Those suction cups don't stay on the glass. Any suggestions how I can hide the air tubing?

What is the name of the paint some people use to paint the back of their tank? The type of paint that will peel off? Thanks

Doing my weekly gravel vacuum & water change today. My blood parrot got sucked into the vacuum and couldn't get out even when I took the suction piece apart. I was just able to reach his tail and pull him backwards out of the tube. Thought he was dead but now appears to be okay.

My 45 gal tank has an undergravel filter with two power jets. I vacuum the tank regularly to get all the crud out of the gravel. My 75 gal tank has a cannister filter. Every time I check the media it isn't very dirty. I attempt to vacuum the gravel but there isn't much crud. The filter...

Why do the suction cups keep coming off the glass?

My 45gal tank always had tiny stuff in the water. Not sure what it is. I used to think it was air bubbles. Yesterday I stuffed a polishing pad into my HOB filter. In just a few hours the water was crystal clear. Now the tank is so clear it almost looks fake!

My LFS sells live food. I was considering buying some live worms. Does anyone feed their fish live worms?

My cichlids (blood parrots, silver dollars and firemouths) used to come right to me at feeding time. The last few weeks they see me coming and they are dart away and hide? This happen to anyone else?

Anyone know why my tropical fish won't eat? I haven't seen them eat in almost a week. I feed flakes, pellets, dried, etc. but they're not iterested in any of them. My FW 45 gal tank has been set up for 4 yrs with no problems at all. I tested the water yesterday and it is fine. I use API Master...

Anyone buy Omega One Frozen Cichlid cubes? Whatever is in the cubes is extremely small. I'm afraid it will just dirty the tank. Spent enough money on it and hate to throw it out but fish don't seem to eat much of it.

What is the best way to clean algae off plastic plants?

I recently stocked my 75 gal fw tank. I'm using an air pump with two air stones for medium size bubbles. I wanted to be sure there is enough oxygen in there. Should I use an air pump with cichlids? I faithfully do a water change every week and the tank is not over stocked. The fish are doing...

Has anyone used peat granuals in their cannister filter to lower the PH? How long did it take and how much was the PH lowered?

Anyone have Silver Dollars? What do have in the tank with them?

I recently set up a 75 gal tank. I have three small Silver Dollars in it. I checked a compatability website and it said Firemouths are compatible with Silver Dollars. How many Firemouths would you recommend I get? Of course I want a male because they're so colorful. What about male and female...

I just discovered that if I place the flakes just under the surface of the water the fish find it better and eat more of it. I've always put the flakes on the surface of the water and I think more of it was wasted.

I recently set up a 75 gal tank. To put the background on I used oil to secure it to the glass. I squeezed out the air pockets and I taped it down but huge air pockets were back in a few days. It looked terrible. Today I bought poster board from Office Max. They had a sky blue color. I cut to...

My 75 gal tank was set up four weeks ago. I've been waiting patiently for it to cycle. I've tested the water almost every day. I've never had any ammonia or nitrites appear. And I haven't lost any of the 7 black skirt tetras in there. I finally have some nitrates today. Things are going better...

I now have plastic plants but I'm thinking about getting some live ones. I have small pebble type substrate, it's not the tiny stuff but little larger pebbles. Will this be okay for live plants? My tank was set up on 12/24. Should I wait until it's done cycling? Where do people buy their plants...

Seems to me that more guys have aquariums. When I'm searching this site or U-Tube what I find is mostly guys talking about their fish tank. Are there any women besides me that enjoy having an aquarium?
