I know the "best" tank mates for angels are other Angels. But, what other tank mates do "well" with them such as gouramis? I have a 55 that I am about to stock. Experience welcome! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

So I had an albino bristlenose and a common pleco mate and breed. I have several albino and several black little guys swimming around the tank. This was a total accident, but is it really bad to have cross bred? I don't see any weird genetic freak of nature mutations, just half albino and half...

I'm stuck on lighting for my 55. It's 48" long and with substrate it'll be about 20" deep. I like that the edge led has a built in time and lunar cycle but it's par is supposed to be around 50 at 20" and I'm worried that's too much light for me as I won't be running c02. The stingray is about 30...

Instead of trying to mix sand and another substrate and worry about it eventually mixing up, can I sand the entire tank, then just fill little terra cotta pots with eco and plant them under the sand??? is terra cotta safe for aquariums? unglazed.

So I'm setting up a 55 gal tank that's 48x13x18. I figured with 3 inches of substrate or so it would be about 15" deep. I don't want to go with c02. How much PAR at the substrate would be "too much" for a non c02 set up? I'm just keeping things like Java fern Amazon swords anibias nana tiger...

So I have a 55 gal tank that I am going to dirt and plant. I have never kept angels before, and after hours of research I wanted to ask for some advice. As far as I can tell, angels are hard to sex, you essentially have to wait until they pair off to mate to know who is who. At that time, they...

I have a 55 gal tank that I want to dirt (miracle grow potting soil?) have any of you ever mixed in or capped dirt with fluorite or eco complete? is it needed? I know the dirt is supposed to provide everything the plants need, so adding fluorite or eco complete might just be an extra expense...

So my girlfriend brought home a used 55 gal tank that was sitting in her dads basement for a long time. I assume I'll take a razor and scrape off all the old sealant and apply new. But what's the best way to get all the white calcium looking deposits off the glass? I was assuming some light...

My tetra is hanging near the top, appears to be breathing heavy and has some white stringy stuff on him. It's an established tank, he's been in there for a few weeks and is just now showing signs. Tank parameters are in check. He's going into quarentine tomorrow. Need to figure out what this is...

So I have been looking into building a large planted discus tank, and there are lots of opinions. I have heard lots of people say you have to have a low PH and use RO water and you can't keep them with angles, and then others say they keep them with angles and an PH of 8 out of the tap and they...

I just got some red tiger lotus today, I got the plants from the only store around Dallas tx I could find. Shipping was going to be 10x the cost of the plant, so I got 2 for 9.99 after a two hour drive. The plants do not have a bulb, they don't have many roots but they both have about 3 that are...

Hey guys, So some of you may know that after upgrading my light fixture I was having heat problems in my tank. I purchased the dual t5 aqueon and after some searching I wasn't able to find any legs manufactured to fit this product. Well, I improvised, I stretched out the wire hooks even on both...
