This is more of a journal than anything for myself so I can take photos of my progress and how the plants grow and how the layout changes and so on. Dimensions are 48"L x 24"D x 15"H Running CO2 at about 2 bps and has a sump underneath that gets pumped out by a canister filter Didn't do...

i wasn't sure what forum to post this in so I just chose this one sorry if it's in the wrong place, I bought a used tank very large foot print it's a custom 75g rimless 15 inches high 4 feet long and 2 feet wide it was originally a salt water tank so it had been drilled but the previous owner...

Hello everyone, I've always wanted a pond but was a little intimidated by starting one since I live in Ontario and I wasn't sure how to go about it in the winter. I've finally decided to go for it and I'm going big. I decided on roughly 2000g for my first pond because I didn't want to go too...

Are water softners safe for aquariums my dad's renovating the basement and is going to be putting a water softner in cause our well water is really hard, I was wondering if they are safe for aquariums or if I'm not going to beable to use it. Thanks

I bought 10 rummynose tetras not even a week ago 9 of them look good swimming together and such eating fine but one is sitting alone at the back of the tank and half it's body looks super white, anybody know what's going on and how I can attempt to save him?

I tested my water from the tap today, PH is 7.5 KH is 18 GH is 20. In the tank PH is 8 KH is 18 GH is 22. I thought a day later after the water aged it usually drops in PH KH and GH slightly, why is it the opposite for my tank? I also have tons of driftwood and I'm using organic dirt capped with...

My 46g bowfront has this small brown debris floating around in my water, I'm curious as to what it is and how do I get rid of it? It's a dirted tank with driftwood in it, I doubt it's from the dirt cause my 20g is dirted and it doesn't have the same problem.

My brothers got a tank that I believe is 4'x18"x18" so about 60-70 gallons, I'm trying to find him a good LED light but he isn't looking to spend too much, it is his birthday soon so if he likes the light but it's out of his budget I may be a nice brother and chip in the rest :p build my led...

I have a 46gal bowfront I plan on getting 2-3 angelfish, they will be striped angelfish black and silver. I'm trying to get ideas for a school of fish that will look well with them, it will be planted. Any ideas are appreciated, sorta thinking Rummynose tetras or black neons, but I feel with...

There is supposed to be a big ice storm where I live in Ontario between today and tomorrow. There is already some power outages in Kingston, I'm about 45mins from there. How am I to keep my fish tanks warm? We have a generator but that is going to be used for more important things like the...

So here's the story, set up the tank the first time around used dirt with a gravel cap. I used to much dirt and not enough gravel, the tank turned into a mess and gas built up in the dirt. Tore it down, now I have this. Way less substrate and made sure I compacted the dirt real well. Let me know...

If I turn on my moon lights after my regular lights go off and I leave them on all night until morning will this affect anything? Like does it stress fish, cause algae, or mess with plants in any way? Cause if not ima keep these bad boys on every night, is it ever relaxing just staring at the...

Can I put any fish in an 8g other than a betta/dwarf puffers?

I've been trying to get my dwarf puffers to eat frozen foods (brine shrimp and blood worms) but they show little to no interest. Sometimes they will dart at the food when they see it flowing in the current of the filter but once they get near it they don't even touch it and just turn around...

Found this tiny little two leaved plant in my tank seems to be growing from a single root lol. I used to have moss in there that I found at my cottage so maybe a random plant came off that into my substrate? Looking forward to seeing what it turns into.

And how do I fix it. It's green algea that's only been growing on my substrate haven't seen it on any plants yet. I also got some fuzzy stuff on my rocks, they don't get long or any thing just small and black as you can see in this photo. There was also white stuff on the glass in the tank that...

It's got pink and green leaves and the stem is pink and green as well, I'm hoping under the right conditions it will keep this pink. There are also what seem to be little yellow buds all around on it.

I plan on getting a Marina Cubus to have something on my desk while I use the computer, it will be planted going to keep it low tech and low maintenance stock will probably be a few nerite snails maybe a couple shrimp. What I want to know is, will the light it comes with be powerful enough to...

Ordered one for the 7.9g cube, par should be around 60-70 at the lowest point of my substrate, is this enough light to grow Dwarf baby tears? Never tried growing them before I've read they can be tricky. I'll be dosing ferts (phosphates, nitrates, whatever else there is can't remember names)...

So I'm turning my 8g that used to house my cherries into a dirted heavily planted betta tank with a different species of shrimp, probably yellow neocaridinas and tiger shrimp or bee shrimp. Wanted to ask if you 100% have to cap the dirt or will it eventually settle on its own after a while...

I added parts of the pps-pro solution (mono potassium phosphate and potassium sulphate) along with the micro nutrients. Didn't add any nitrates cause after my WC they were already around 20ppm and I have vey hard water so magnesium was not needed. Now since it's been 4 days since adding the...

Might be getting a 45g bow front today for $45 which to me is a steal. Wanted to see what you guys would stock it with to get ideas of how many fish can work in a 45g. It will most likely be a heavily planted tank, obsessed with planted tanks right now.

My plants have new growth and everything but it seems after a while some leaves go bad. I'm trying to figure out what nutrients they are in need of. I'm thinking its nitrogen deficiency by looking online, but I have no clue. I have macro nutrients on the way so I'll be dosing all the good stuff...

I plan on getting a 75 within 3 months I plan on getting: Build my LED dutch 6300k high light fixture x2 Eheim 2215 canister filters 300w inline heater anyone know any good brands? Also should I put one on each filter or is one enough. Should it be put on the intake line or outtake, or does...

I plan on getting a 75g for Christmas. I don't know a single thing about high output lights, I've been looking at the Finnex Ray II Ultra Slim LED DS - Dual 7000k the 48" says it's 39watts how many of these would I need to have high light? Since it's dual strips does this mean 39watts x2 or do...
