Hi freshwater breeders. came down to feed my bigger tank and found a surprise: watching how the mother to be fans the eggs and chasing others away is really cool. tank is 125 gallon, occupants are mostly peaceful. tetra and 6 pencil fishes as well as corydoras should not present a threat...

After about a month of running my 125 gallon I just can't get the clarity I have in the 55 (fluv 306). Biological filtration is there but the particles in water are very upsetting. At the moment I'm using diy sump setup in 20 gallon long. Water from the overflow goes through 2 compartments...

this will be the journal of my 125 gallon adventure. i was really excited scoring this little monstrer tank on CL beginning this month. tonight i guess is the official start - it is finally full of water :) . things yet to be organized below, plus i still need to build doors lighted by...

While I'm building the stand for my new 125 gallon I'm researching the rest of the equipment . it will be a FW community and maybe if I'm brave a discus tank. The tank came with aquaclear sump (no media though). I am debating whether to use that or have a custom sump inside 30gal I have laying...

After setting up my first tank last fall (55gal) i immediately knew I want bigger. Space got available for a 6 footer and I was contemplating something between 155 or a 210. After searching craiglist for a month I "settled" for a very clean 125. Oh boy, when I finally seen the size in person! So...

i think i'm stuck in the thinking loop here, debating between several model and can't quite just pull the trigger. your thoughts are welcome. candidates: Current Satellite + Finnex fugeray planted Finnex ray2 i think i'm gravitating towards Fugeray planted, but can't quite find it in stock...

was about to post in my old thread but apparently its been to long and i can no longer reply there. funny how things unroll and how old concerns fade away . my jungle: hardscape is almost nonexistent, but that will change after a planned rebuild - will need to empty the tank out to put new...

Things seem to be quite good in my 55 gallon at home. started using seachem products and plants seem to grow really nice so I gave a way a bunch to friend of mine. Didn't ask anything for it, but in return was gifted a simple starter 10 gal topfin kit friend used as stater. So I'm setting it up...

no, it did not appear in my tank. today i by a chance stopped by far acquaintance that keeps a aquarium for several years now. success level is mixed, but he is not striving for perfection either. but regardless, upon hearing that i now too have aquarium he immediately offered me to take some...

it is 17 days since my main tank is running. i think i got little bit carried away buying plants from forum members here (can't post good feedback in feedback forum yet, srry), so i grabbed a 10 Gallon on 1 for 1 sale in local big box pet store. instead planting immediately in main tank i...

hi , i understand the question sounds idiotic, and 'biggest beginner mistake is overfeeding" , but i just can't get it. they say everything that is uneated in 5 minutes is extra, i seen how much previous owner fed them, food is tropical and plankton flakes. its 8 days after setup. largish pile...

Hi all, I just started my first 55gallon. Well, first to me but I got it already cycled with fish , filter and managed to carry over 10 gallons of original water. And a gorgeous huge anubias bush that reached the surface. Light is just a stock single bulb fixture. Yesterday I added 15lbs of...
