Had the sand for a little over a year now and haven't noticed any pockets but I also moved the tank from home to work about 3 months ago. Doing so shook up the substrate pretty good as you can imagine. I'll recommend the snails to my BIL Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Spotted these guys without a tag at my local Petco. After waiting 10 minutes for the sales clerk to try to identify them, she finally called them Otocinclus Catfish. I don't think so... Can anyone identify them? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I used beach sand. Rinsed it out with tap water for a few minutes and added it to the tank. My freshwater mussels love it. I'm not sure if there are good freshwater sand sifters to help out but my brother-in-laws has had a sand substrate for a few years longer than me and he gets gas pockets...

I have a major dilemma. I recently started up a 38gal freshwater tank in my cellar. I am hoping to use it through the winter to fatten up some baby koi that will be added to my pond come springtime. After relocating the Koi, my dream is to move the tank into my office at work. I have had a Beta...

Will tannins discolor the aquariums silicon?

I want to order some driftwood for my 38 gallon freshwater setup. Drs Foster and Smith offers Mopani & Malaysian driftwood. I was just curious to what other people's experience / preference was between the two.

Nevermind. Bulk reef supply. Saw it in another thread.

Sorry, I am a newbie. What is BRS?

Think I'm gonna give the MTS a try. Thank you everyone for your input

So how many snails do I need in a 38 gal?

The tank is in my cellar so it receives minimal natural light. I have the fluorescent lights on for 12 hours (9am to 9pm). What is the recommended amount of light required for live plants to flourish?

I recently started a 38gal freshwater tank with beach sand substate and a few live plants. The only inhabitants currently in the tank are 6 leopard danios and a zebra nerita snail. I am looking for a good sand sifter to tackle the brown algae that's starting to form. I've been told that both...
