So I know that most plecs need or at least appreciate driftwood. In my planning of my new tank, I was considering manzanita and I was just curious if it would be sufficient for the plecs. I have never used manzanita in the past but I am thinking that it will look good with the plans for my new...

I am trying to figure out my ultimate setup on a 240 gallon. I am currently running a Fluval FX6 and I love it. I have had a couple people recommend that I run two...but the budget at this time will not allow. So my thoughts are at circulation pumps and the old trusty airstone. My tank is...

Hey all of you GBR keepers. I am in the process of setting up my stocking plan for my new tank and I am trying to iron out a few details. I plan on keeping GBR's and had planned on some shrimp to add to the others on the stocking list. The GBR is the only fish that I am concerned with in the...

Hey all, So I am scratching my head trying to figure out what is going on here. I just set up my new 240 gallon freshwater a couple of days ago. After taking a few days to get my FX6 set and placed, I spent three hours cleaning gravel and started filling the tank. The water in my area has been...

Hey all. Looking for someone that has experience with the Coryodoras Hasbrosas. I have seen it called the salt and pepper Cory as well as the dainty Cory. I am considering adding a handful to a community tank and have never kept this particular breed. I have kept julii's, panda's, sterba...

Alright, So I may be picking up a 240 gallon for a steal of a price. Now the problem is it is just a tank and stand. I have never had anything of this size and while I am comfortable in the 50-75 gallon range...I am a little intimidated at having to learn all over again. The filters that I...

Hey guys, So here is the deal. I am currently in the process of trying to determine how to stock my 60 gallon tropical tank to make it fun and appealing. I am having some issues with determining which way to go so I thought that I would ask you all for some input. My tank currently looks like...

Hello All, New to the forums and an intermediate fish enthusiast. In my late teens and early twenties, I got hooked on freshwater tropical tanks and had a blast with them. As time progressed, friends/life/marriage/work, I got rid of the four tanks that I was running and got away from the hobby...
