I'm more or less at my wits end with this stand situation. I bought a fluval flex 15g rimless tank and needed a suitable stand. I set out to build one and I've run into an issue, the plywood for the top(which is 3/4 inch thick) has a bit of a bow in the center. I really don't have the equipment...

So I purchased a fluval flex 15g and I have an existing piece of furniture that is sturdy enough and fits the tank perfectly, like it was made for it. My only concern is the surface of this stand. I know that rimless tanks use foam underneath to prevent high points in the wood from causing...

Looking for interesting tankmates for my armored bichirs(pair) that are about 5-6" long right now in my 75g planted tank. They are currently in with a bristlenose pleco and a dwarf pike. I have 2 leopard ctenopoma in a growout tank that will be moving in with the bichirs soon enough. The...

I've purchased some snails out of curiosity but I cannot find any information regarding them. They are listed as "INDIAN ZEBRA SNAILS - BELLAMYA BENGALENSIS". Searches turn up a few scientific papers but that is all. They seem to eat algae and don't seem to bother plants so I don't mind having...

It seems as though you cannot buy the 30" beamswork with 110x6500k leds anymore, all I can find now is the 24-30" version with 80leds. I need a solid top medium-top end of medium light for my 20g long for under 150$ Canadian. The only other options in my budget seems to be the satellite +(great...

I bought a used 35g with the intent to reseal it, the tank's silicone is stripped down now but as I was cleaning the glass with alcoho(and I used a little bit too much) I noticed a little bit seem through the bottom. Right around this area there does appear to be some hard water stains that I...

I build a 30" stand for my 36g bowfront, I sold it and I decided to pick up a 36x12x18 30g tank. I dont want to build another stand. Can I just put a 36" top and have a 3" overhang on either side? Something similar to whats pictured but not as drastic. Sent from my LG-D803 using Aquarium Advice...

Bought a metal stand used and came to find one section of steel isnt flush so it on this corner and a large section of the side there is no contact with the bottom of the tank. Can this be fixed any way or should I just cut my losses. Sent from my LG-D803 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I ordered some killifish eggs the other day and I am concerned because I hadn't really thought much of the temperature problem. What range can killifish eggs tolerate? Now that its starting to snow in Canada, I'm worried they might end up frozen. They are coming from Italy to Newfoundland which...

Would a rena xp2 be enough for a dirted 55g tank? Thanks Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app.

Would a sunsun 302 be enough for a 55g tank or should I go for the larger 303?

I'm building a stand for my 36g bowfront and I want to build it like I saw on another forum. My only problem is that my woodworking skills are limited(I've built all my stands so far, just standard rectangle shape though). With the design used, horizontal support(for the frame) is added by...

I just bought a new 36g bowfront with stand and it seems the edges are flush but the entire middle is off by a papers width. Is this of any concern? Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app.

I realise normally you should just connect each individual bottle to the last one(with the water in it) but I forgot and chained them together. Will this effect anything? Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app.

In my 55g dirted tank all my fish seem to show some puffiness in their gills(except my bristlenose and featherfin cat). My ctenopoma has very visible gill plates observed breathing from behind or below(though he can close them). All my kuhli loaches seem to have slightly puffed out gills that...

I added some seachem sulfaplex to my tank, but it doesn't dissolve into the water? Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app.

Looking for an eshopps nano overflow. Located in canada. Please PM me if you have anything. Thanks!

I plan on buying a metal 55g stand, what is the best way to level one? Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice mobile app.

This may seem like a stupid question but when using a level to level an aquarium, does it have to face a certain way? With 2 different levels(1 brand new) if use it with the logo facing me it gives me off level. If I use it with the logo facing toward the wall it gives me almost level? Can...

I found some pieces of wood near a freshwater pond/stream. The outside was quite dry and grayed. When I cut the wood the inside still looks a bit bright. Is this safe to use? Must you actually pull the wood up from the water? Or is washed up wood fine. Sent from my LG G2 using Aquarium Advice...

Picked up this catfish today, trying to figure out what species of upside down catfish it is. Thanks!

My leopard ctenopoma seems like his gills are a little more pink/outward than they should be. He was treated for ich when I first bought him(was riddled with it) and then I proceeded to treat him with cupramine and then with parasite guard(what a trooper) once I suspected that he may have gill...

My 55g dirted tank has started to get a grey/black algae growing on the sand and even below the sand visible on the front glass. The tank is less than a month old. When I pulled up a dead plant its roots were covered in the same black stuff. Is this even algae? A blackout seemed not to really...

I went on vacation for 10 days and my 55 dirted got a bit scummy after that period. Only livestock current in the tank is a kuhli loach, a leopard ctenopoma and some mts and a few nerite snails. Whats the best way to get the plants/sand bed cleaned up? I bought a small bristlenose pleco to help...
