Alright so I think I will be starting up a new tank in the next couple of weeks and I chose the AquaClear 110/500 as my filter. I currently have an Eheim Ecco up and running and I had the idea of taking some of the Ehfi Substrat Pro from the Eheim and using that in the AC media bag instead of...

I have an eheim ecco 2232 canister filter for my 26 gallon. Does anyone have an idea on how often to replace the filter media in the canister? I'm using the eheim substrat pro that came with it.. I did a quick google search and I read a post saying: "I also seem to remember a six month...

I was out in the living room earlier and noticed that my bronze cory had a ton of eggs underneath her! I just went back out to check and now it seems that they're on the glass against the front corner. I guess this should be my choice but..should I make an effort to protect the eggs? I read...

So the last few days I've noticed my opaline gourami got really bloated and stopped eating..I assumed it was constipation at first so I tried to feed her some peas but she ignored them. Currently I'm giving her an epsom salt bath (about 2 teaspoons in a pretty big tupperware container of tank...

I just did a water test today..first time in a few weeks. :oops: My nitrites read at about .25ppm..maybe because I replaced my filter media last week (eheim substrat pro). I know nitrites are really bad for the aquarium, so is there any way to speed up the process to get the nitrites back to...

I had been feeding Omega One flakes in my community tank for awhile, until I ran out. I recently bought some NLS flakes because I heard really good things about the food. I've been feeding the NLS flakes for a few days now and they don't seem as "ravenous" as before when fed. Is this normal...

Well my angel hasn't been eating for about a week now. He usually just swims idle in one spot in the tank and it doesn't look like he is in good health. Sometimes he will kind of spin aimlessly and do semi-back/front flips. It's really sad watching him like this =\ I do not have the funds...

My eheim ecco 2232 is somewhat new and I had some questions on maintenance because the manual doesn't give the best instructions out.. When I replace the carbon pad every few weeks or do any work on it (cleaning the coarse pad) and switch the hoses on and plug it in, a bunch of gunk (bacteria?)...

1~What type of fish is afflicted? In addition, please describe what is wrong with the fish to the best of your ability (i.e. cotton like growth, bloated, etc.). My red eye tetra recently developed a fungus (?) patch on his side. It showed up right after I lost my big red eye tetra due to some...

http://www.floridadriftwood.com/subcatmfgprod.asp?0=200&1=282&2=-1&6=1 is this a good idea for my tank? i need something for my pleco..if not caribbean, then i'll look at the asian wood. I don't really have the patience to continue to boil my current piece of wood.. :oops:

Sorry if this question is a little redundant, I tried using the search function and search engines but couldn't find a direct answer. I currently have a 26 gallon with 2 angels and 4 red eye tetras..would adding a couple of cherry barbs be a bad idea? I've heard that cherry barbs aren't as...

Ok so I bought 2 red eye tetras for my 26 gallon yesterday and they have only been hanging out on the top corner of my tank where the airstone is. I also have 2 angels and whenever the angels approach the tetras they quickly swim away to the other top corner. When I feed the tank, they stay in...

Hi, this is my first post here so yes... My tank finally finished cycling so I returned my 5 danios and in return, bought 2 angelfish, a female swordtail, and a platy. 26 gallon tank FYI and this is my first tank ever. The swordtail and platy were pretty shy yesterday but now I've noticed...
