Came across this tank in the Tradewinds on SCAPE so I picked it up today "for a friend" Build pics to follow... soon :angel:

Last week I noticed a really small white work inching on glass inside our 2G Nano Long shrimp tank. After looking more closely I've now seen a few weaving through the substrate. They don't seem to interfere with the shrimp, yet. While the worm population does not appear to be growing at all...

Are Corydoras pygmaeus safe to bunk with neos in a nano tank?

Typical story... a friend of my gf says "oh he's into fish now? He can have our old tank." So late last week I went and picked up what was once a children's/family tank with plastic plants, sponge bob decor, hood, light heater, add hob filter. Can't complain about "free" too much. Took it...

A friend is getting rid of a 20 gallon rimmed petco special with all the fixings, just come and get it I want to set it up and get rid of the "grow" bucket in my kitchen. I will be staging plants in and out of this tank. Appearance will not be an issue as the tank will be in a closet. Should I...

I continue to be inspired by some of the great planted aquariums I've seen here and there, I jumped on an opportuynity to pickup a new CAD Lights ZEN 23G Rimless tank through a group buy over at SCAPE. Thanks Carlo! I'm planning on setting it up on the counter between our kitchen and living...

What do these guys do around mating season? Our neon tetras have been acting differently the last few days... -coupling up and hanging out in pairs vs the usual group -courting type actions between the pairs (Nuzzling against each other, tweeky tail gestures, positioning themselves beneath...

We have had our CPO for around a week, interesting creature. He seems to climb around the tank, almost to the surface, daily. He also forages for food on the tank floor, sometimes "fighting" our neon tetras for a meal. He got his lunch stolen by Shelly our assassin snail the other day... there...

Our betta used to flare at us when getting close to his bowl, thankfully he no longer does this. We have fed him Hikari betta pellets off our fingertips or just drop them in the water and he swims over to get them. This morning he seemed pretty active and while I was feeding him he jumped out...

Starting this thread to document the detour we took on our Nano Cube build thread when we "made a right turn at Albuquerque" as Bugs Bunny would say... While still planning that tank, I impulse-bought shrimp at a SCAPE meetup in August and needed to launch a tank fast. I won 10 Red Rilli shrimp...

According to the labels of both bottles, Seachem says both products are safe for inverts, esp shrimp. However, my LFS told me NO! What's the experienced consensus?

While swapping substrate on our 6G Cyl Tank this weekend I found two of these while sifting and rinsing the old gravel I'm pretty sure these are leeches, only 2 found and both this size. They attach to things from one end only, swim like snakes *undulating) and can expand and contract. The...

Trying to confirm dosage for our 6G Cyl Tank The instructions on Excel say: On initial use or after a major (> 40%) water change, use 1 capful (5 mL) for every 40 L (10 gallons*). Thereafter use 1 capful for every 200 L (50 gallons*) daily or every other day. Dosing may be slowly increased in...

Any trick here? Bag float, drip or just throw them in?

My daughter got a fishtank from her grandpa for graduation it's a 6-gal 360° Glo-Fish cylinder tank from Amazon.com. We set up the tank in early-to-mid June with Glo-gravel, Anacharis, a plastic plant and faux coral from Petco and two Neon Tetras from a local aquarium-specialty store locally...

I picked up a bunch of plants at the monthly SCAPE meeting this past Sunday, not sure what they all are. I'd love to get some input from the more-experienced here, please Here are the pics: I got a bunch of individual stems of this as well as a big bunch connected to what looks like a...

Being new to the hobby I found myself addicted to new plants and acquiring too many plants for our one 6-gallon tall tank, so I set up a grow tank. It occurred to me that glass tanks are more for our benefit than their inhabitants, so I setup the "tank" in a 3.5 gallon bucket. OSH sells a 3.5...

I want to add an accent light for moonlight lighting and found this light on amazon... any one have experience with this particular light?

Last weekend we added 2 more neons tetras to our planted, tall/round 6-gallon tank with 3 existing neons that had been there for 6+ weeks. The fish were all apprehensive but after about a day they all began to hang out and school together. It's quite cute. This morning we noticed one of the...

It seems our tank after 2 months has not fully cycled... see this thread on the subject It was suggested that the power filter with our tank is too small. I am thinking about upgrading to a larger filter... Looking at the Azoo Mignon 150 (good for 20-30 liter tanks (5-8 US Gallon)) How would I...

Has anyone here worked with FertiLight™ LED Grow Light strips? I found this waterproof LED strip light online and was wondering how this in conjunction with some 5000° K white would work for aquatic plants? I might try this inside the hood of my daughter's 360° round tank as the LED that...

I was so inspired by Brian's 2.11-gal pico thread that I ordered the same tank (I know, I know; unoriginal) and am starting to plan the build. Future inhabitants will be shrimp, but I have not decided which species exactly yet... perhaps some RCS, or a variant thereof, as this will be my first...
