I am ready to do aquariums again, I miss my 55. I got rid of it due to space, but now I have a spot that I can put a 36" long aquarium that is out of the way, but in good sight. I have been trying to find a used 65 gallon...36x18x24, which has lead me to no luck. I am going to expand my...

So I just unloaded a 55 gallon and stand onto my sister. I wanted the space in my small house, it was just some community fish. I have re arranged the living room and found a nice small area that can fit a 36" aquarium without being in the way of anything. I want to get either a 65 Gallon or...

So I recently changed my mind about using my 90 gallon tank for a planted tank and have decided to go with cichlids. I already have a 48" power compact lighting fixture. It came with 2 Actinic and 2 12000k bulbs, which I replaced with 2 6700k and 2 3-6-10 bulbs, each 55W, which were going to be...

I need to get off my lazy bum and get my 90 setup. It is going to be a planted tank. I was hoping I could get a powerhead or something to help keep the poo in a general area and help in overall cleaning. Maybe two small one compared to a larger one? I would guess I don't want something OVER...

Well I was at the LFS this evening and saw a black veil angel. $22 I really couldn't pass it up, it is about 4" (body size) so I grabbed it along with a few other fish. Problem I have is I already have an Angel, about 5" body size (just a bit bigger than the black veil) I have tried to add...

I Picked up a free 10 gallon tank. I would like to sit it on something that could still be usefull, like a bookshelf or shelf of somekind. I realize this will be about 100 lbs full, any one have any creative ideas?

I took in a 10 gallon tank, I was told it only had an angelfish and I wanted it for my 55. But the angel died and when I got the tank it also had a pleco. It is about 4-5 inchs long. I don't figure this is some rare expensive pleco so I thought most of you guys could easily ID it.

I only have 1. I think its a male, but looking at other tanks and pictures of Angelfish mine looks a lot different. I mean the mouth is the most obvious. The mouth of most Angelfish I see are very pointed and stick out quite a bit. See example: Now, I would also like to pinpoint the type. I...

I found a real nice flowerhorn from a local Fish club member for sale. He is about 4" right now and had a pretty good price on it. I have a 55 that will be empty soon, would this be to small? It currently has a gravel bottom, but would be switched for sand. The tank is currently a...

As soon as I get a stand built for my 90 gallon tank, i will be setting it up with Slate rock, driftwood and nice easy live plants(not sure on which yet) I will be upgrading from my 55. I think i will be using Caribsea Eco complete instead of the Pool filter sand I had originally planned to use...

So one thing lead to another and another one to another, you know how it goes. I picked up a 90, I had pool filter sand, enough to do my 55, but then realized I would need more for the 90. Well then I seen some Carib Sea Eco complete aquariums and like it MUCH better for planted tanks. The price...

So both my 55 community and 20 long African clawed frogs have terrible build up of diatoms (brown algae right? easily wipes off) The 55 is about 6 months old and the 20 about 3 or 4. I have been doing some reading and it appears its caused by excess silicates, low lights and/or low oxygen...

I have read that an adult Clown Pleco can be worth $100? I actually have read that on a few different forums. Adult they only get to about 3". I have one I am sort of interested in getting rid of, I never see the thing and it doesn't do me any good if its not cleaning, and I can see it!! Hes...

So I got started in this hobby when my dad gave me his 55 gallon with a stand, filter and some décor, which is no longer used. It also had a albino common pleco about 13" long, which has been given a new home. I have since bought some gravel, new décor and have completely stocked it. Learned...

I have a Marineland emperor 400. It comes with the stand carbon cartridge but also uses a empty cartridge that I usualy fill up with pete granules. My tapwater has a high pH naturally. When I first got the aquarium from my dad he had a thing of white carbon rocks, I think that's what they are...

Did you put the plywood all in the same direction all the way around? Maybe sounds a little confusing. I am asking, If you stood the plywood with the grain in the same direction on the sides as in the front, because its cheaper to use a few little pieces than have to waste a huge piece to...

So today, I was looking at my 55 and realized how small it is, not length wise but depth wise. So sticking with a 4ft tank, I wanted something deeper and decided a 90 would be good. I recently picked up an older 135 gallon tank but its pretty heavy and I don't wanna risk over 2000 lbs on 2...

So, I am in the process of gathering everything for my first planted tank. The tank is an established and full 55, with gravel and a bunch of fake décor. I have collected 50 pounds of pool filter sand, and am currently waiting on the rest of my blue slate to come in. The transformation will...

For my 55, I am in the process of switching everything. I am going to use sand, be putting in pieces of slate built up with caves in it, and some larger pieces of driftwood. I just bought a power compact light, and will be switching the bulbs with a 6700k and a pinkish red set(not really sure...

For $25, I just picked up a 48" light, thought maybe it was a t5? Not really sure though, but one set of lights has 12000k daylight, the other has Actinic written on it. The fixture also has 4 sets of little blue leds for nightlight but 2 sets are burned up it looks like. What kind of light is...

Found a Craigslist add that has a 150 gallon for $150. Great deal I think, even better they were even considering a trade for a 55 gallon with stand. I just so happen to have that sitting in the basement. And the persons interested! So I go pick it up tomorrow. The add says 150, but the...

Found a clutch last night, also found two snails which appeared to be mating last night. Problem is I don't want a few hundred baby snails in my community tank. Figured I could get a 10 or 15 gallon tank and stick it in there for when it hatched....How can I go about setting one up and cycling...

Anytime I have tried to upload a picture I always get a black X. This isn't rocket science right? I have posted hundreds of picture on other forums in the past. I have uploaded to photobucket, clicked on the picture to open it, right clicked and copied the url and then come here and click on the...

I think I am gonna go ahead and order some pool filter sand from amazon. I would guess a 50lb bag would be enough for a 55? Is there a certain brand I should get? There is all sorts of brands, I dont want to get something with chemicals in it....
