Play close attention to the C3 (or any C series). It has several areas where water circumvents the filter pads and goes right back into the tank. Not really a problem, but it's something to keep in mind when weighing this filter against others. It's got bypass issues, too. Both of mine also...

The 603B has an actual flow of about 45 gph using the stock media and a 3 foot drop between the filter and tank. Still adequate for a 10 gallon tank. I wasn't happy with it in my 20 gallon. The low flow velocity wasn't moving water (and the CO2 I was injecting) throughout the tank. I've used a...

Yes. Kansas.

Pure strains only. No guppy crosses. Thank you.

20 gallon long.

This is the ornament I wrote about. When prepping it for the tank, I discovered it had a few small holes already hidden in the surface. I did my best to make sure I didn't trap any air when sinking it into the tank. I hope this will be enough to keep it from getting stinky.

I recently bought a large Universal Rock outcropping as the centerpiece of the new tank. These artificial rocks are hollow inside, and the only opening is the bottom plane that rests against the substrate and/or aquarium bottom. I'm concerned this may create a problem with either trapped air...

I recently purchased a 20 gallon long Marineland aquarium. After filling the tank, I measured the ends and middle to find out whether there was any bowing in the glass. I measured 29.4 cm on each end (front to back) and 29.7 cm in the middle (again, front to back). This appears to be a 3 mm...

I noticed this egg today floating among hornwort in my tank. Inhabitants include assassin snails, otocinclus and corydoras. Google searching leads me to believe this may be an oto egg. These fish have been in the tank for about a week only, however. They adjusted well and appeared to acclimate...

Can anyone tell me what type of algae I have in my tank, based on the pictures attached to this post? If so, how do I treat it? I have slowed much of the growth by changing feeding routines and photo periods. However, manually removing the algae seems nearly impossible. Thank you. Sent...

I've got a planted tank with cories and cherry shrimp. Any advice on a stronger treatment that would be compatible with these parameters? Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

I started treating with Paraguard in the main tank thinking it may be ick. I'm using a half dose. The inhabitants seem to be handling it well.

Boy or girl?

My GBR developed a white spot on a fin about three days ago. No other spots have developed on this fish or others in the tank. Today, it appeared that the size of the spot has increased. Attached is a photo (the photo is if the fish's backside, and the spot is on the right side of the fish)...

False Juliis stay pretty small. The biggest of mine is about two inches. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I followed the instructions on this site. Instead of using a chopstick or an air stone as a diffuser, I stuffed the end of the gas line with cotton.

I have an AquaClear filter and run the line through a hole in the lid and then again through a hole in the impeller plate. These holes were already present in the filter. I did not modify it in anyway. The gas flows into the media bay and is trapped underneath the sponge, which holds the gas in...

I've got the same system and run the CO2 line directly into my filter. This distributes the gas more evenly throughout the tank. It's also more attractive than the eyesore of the bubble ladder. Anecdotally, the results are about the same as with the ladder.

Would the clove oil trick sedate him so the net could be removed? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

If it were me, I'd add a bottle of Tetra SafeStart. It's bottled bacteria. I've had good experiences with the product getting a cycle rolling within a few days. Some others on the board may disagree, but my experiences demonstrate to me the product assists with colonization of bacteria, at...

I noticed these eggs on a piece of shale yesterday. By my count, there are 12 total arranged in neatly lined clusters of three or four. Known tank inhabitants include pond snails, ramshorn snails, trilineatus cories and pygmy cories. Any ideas what these could be? Sent from my iPhone...

FWIW, my male betta has always left my cherry and ghost shrimp alone.

I saw the water bottle baffle in the background. Any way the fish could have cut himself on the rough edge of that? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Hello, everyone: First-time poster, longtime reader. Thanks in advance to those who take the time to read my post and to those who offer advice. We have a male crown tail betta in a 10 gallon, fully cycled tank (0,0, 10. pH 7.6). We've had him for one week, and he's been doing apparently well...
