Help please! I had a fish tank that was smelling really bad. Almost a sour stale smell, but all my fish were doing fine. I took a water sample to a LFS (it's a specialty store and they are actually quite knowledgeable) and they had several employees smell the water and it was tested. They...

I bought a 29g during the $1/gal sale and I'm going to get it going on Saturday. Here's the paint I decided to use: Rust-Oleum 223525 Multi-Color Textured Spray, Aged Iron, 12-Ounce - Amazon.com What do you think? I'll post pics as it goes.

I've read too many different opinions and I'm trying to make sense of them. Some say you should cycle your water volume 8-10x per hour and others say 3-5. That's an absurd difference. I'm looking at a canister rated for 264 that says it's good for 75g, so that's about 3.5x/hour, where I would...

This this is kinda pimple like. Thinking maybe he got bit. Thoughts? I got a vid too. But I'm not sure how to put it up.

How much media fits in a standard tray canister? Is it like a liter or what?

I saw them online for an amazing price and they have good reviews on that site, but I'd like to hear more from you guys.

I've had her a couple weeks now. Her belly was round then and I thought she was just egg bound. Now it's giant and I'm worried. Tank is cycled. 7ph. 0ammo. 0nitrite. ~15 nitrate or lower. Hardness is right. You can see her next to the other girl as well. Will she absorb the eggs? Is something...

Title kinda says it... Can I use a piece of wood that isn't driftwood in my tank? If so, how should I prepare it?

Here's an idea I had that would work well for a 5' tank and could be adapted for bigger or smaller. The outline is obviously the tank The center rectangle with the goofy lines cutting through is an UGJ setup of PVC pipes with holes or slits cut into it. I plan to use a heavy sand substrate...

just brought home a new crowntail female and noticed her gills are kinda red and there's a small shiny spot behind them on both sides. Pic should be attached here.

Hey, so I plan on doing a pretty big tank in the next few months. I want a 5' 90G or bigger. My intention is to build a nice under gravel jet system to keep the waste from settling under the substrate. I also want to use either pool filter sand or blasting sand so my fish can dig. Does anyone...

Hey everyone. So like many many others, I stocked my tank without knowledge of the nitrogen cycle. After about a month of doing everything I could to keep my fish healthy, I believe my cycle is just about done. I tested my water tonight and got .25PPM ammonia, .5PPM nitrites, and 30PPM nitrAtes...

Hi I have a planted 10G with 3 plants in it. My plants, as far as I can tell are Spiralis grass, moneywart, and some Anubias looking plant in a pot. I just noticed I have some white fuzz on the more brown blades of the grass and on top of a yellow submarine (YA HA!) I have in the tank. My...

Just found out this morning that my power is scheduled to go out for 2 hours in a week. I have a 10G with 2 Glo Danios, 3 Glo tetras, 3 corys, and 4 ghost shrimp, plus 3 plants. I'm not worried at all about heat for these 2 hours because my area is warm and my heater rarely runs anyways. My main...

I have this dream of doing a Dr Seuss themed tank at some point. I know there are a small handfull of Dr Seuss ornaments made by TopFin, but that's really not enough to satisfy me. I want to know what materials are/are not ok to use in an aquarium so I can buy other toys/fake plants, or make my...

Hi. I'm brand new to the forums and I joined because I'm interested in setting up a Cichlid tank. I plan to get a 75G for Christmas and here's my stocking idea. This is also the order in which I am thinking of introducing the fish. I chose this order because my impression is that I should go...

Hey there everyone. I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd pop in here first. Right now I just have the 10G tank that's on my profile, but I'm looking to expand and get more within the next couple months. Let me know what thoughts you have on my current tank and I'll be coming back to ask more...
