Hello all. So after not being the best aquarist I felt that it was time to get back on track with things before the became even worse. Long story short I haven't done PWC's in quite some time because I was afraid of throwing my tank into a mini cycle yet again. I have since got my hands on a BRS...

Not quite sure this is where I should be posting. I haven't been on here in some time unfortunately, and haven't been the best aquarist lately. All of which I'm working on fixing. Anyway, the past few months I have been contemplating n getting a RO/DI unit due to some PWC issues I have...

Hello all. So I've had this idea, from reading around, to store my RO water in a 55g Rubbermaid Brute trashcan. I have 2 ways of getting my RO water. At my parents house (she has a RO filter system for drinking water) or the local grocery store which charges 0.25 a gallon. The grocery store is a...

Ok. So I have a 120gal FW community tank with pool filter sand and ecocomplete substrate. Long story short, I haven't done a PWC in a while. (Couple months) I haven't done a PWC because frankly, I'm scared to do it again. Last time something got all out of whack and ALL my fish (including...

Hello everyone. Quick question. I have a decent amount of plants in my tank. It doesn't seem they last too long. But are doing fairly well. Anyway I have been looking at the Current USA Sat+ LED. Was wondering if 1 would be sufficient for moderate lighting on a 120gal. Depth is 24". I would be...

So I found a nice piece of driftwood I would love in my 120g. It's been soaking in regular tap water outside for about 2 months now and I have changed the water about once a week. Still hasn't completely sunk but I am will to put it in my tank with a small rock on top of it. Also there is some...

Ok I am a bit confused with this. I see veggie clips for INSIDE your tank, and I have heard about putting zucchini and shelled peas in your tank for food for your fish? Can someone explain the reasoning behind this and what exactly you do, please? Do you throw a bunch of slices of zucchini in...

So today I was at That Fish Place. I saw, what was labelled as, an Ovatus. Unfortunately I didn't think to get the scientific name of him. He was blue and had some yellow in him. Pretty large as he was, around 8inches. He was alone in his tank. I think he was absolutely beautiful. He looked...

Hello everyone. Just getting back into the hobby. Recently got, what I think is a 150gal tank according to my calculations, (72inL by 18inW by 25inH) from a friend for a great price. I'm going to be starting off with angelfish, corys, rainbows, catfish, and gourami. I'm thinking I'm going to...

Does anyone have any experience with this type of setup or similar? I was looking to start my 150g tank with a fire eels, discus, red devil and some time of bottom feeder. I'm not sure how they would all get along. Any suggestions or ideas is appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Blair.
