Anyone tried this stuff? Somthing new at fosters and smith....some type of waste eating bacteria? Curious cause cleaning a planted tank with driftwood is a real pain, my angels are poop machines and the stuff really accumulates around plant bases and places the python can't normally get to.

any ideas? 55 gallon tank....anything that gets 6-9" wide? low light 1.5 wpg no co2

So one of their brainiac employees starts giving me the third degree when I asked to purchase some cories. Wanted to know how big the tank was an what I had in it. (It's a 55 gallon planted, WELL understocked with fish). Commendable that they "care" now, but I was instructed that because I had...

I have a 55 gallon planted and like the filter, but it seems like when the tube intake is rotated into the fully open position over the intake hole, a steady trickle/stream of water flows over the edge of the tube on the suction side of the filter in addition to the discharge water. If I...

So like 3 weeks ago my dual bulb flourescent light strip went out on my 55 gallon planted. I bought it at petsmart about a year ago and it wasnt too deep from front to back so it fit EXACTLY on the cheapy plastic hood that came with the aquarium. So I put the two smaller hoods on while I find...

Can someone define this for me? I hear people champion one species over another all the time because a certain type of fish has personality... Do they carry on conversations with you? My angels flip out the minute they see me and start begging like there's no tomorrow...seems like any fish...

Just don't want two tanks, great condition. Comes with black gravel and fake plants/driftwood ornies as well as working air pump and heater and hood. The filter is also in working order but its a biowheel one and it kind of sucks so you might want to replace it. Right now theres still a couple...

but where are the classifieds?

Getting rid of my 20 gallon tank. Excellent condition, I will drain it down and you can take it gravel and all, fill with water and go. It was my "starter" tank and I'm in a condo and my 55 gallon planted is more than enough for me. There are a few fish left in it that I wil move before its...

Last night I was scraping a little algae off the side and back of my tank and needed to get my hand in the water to reach the back. I have 5 Tigers in the tank (none more than 1.5 long)and the runt of the group decided he didn't like me in his tank and proceeded to attack my arm without mercy. I...

I vacumm this stuff up and a week or so later I start seeing patches of it again. It looks like little strands of somthing...at first I thought it was just decomposing plant as the plants were getting in bad shape, but thats under control and everything is pretty green...no idea. Its not...

My dwarf gourami hasnt eaten (that I've noticed) in about a week. He kind of hides near the back of the tank and is really skittish. The past couple days it seems as though his stomach/abdomen is getting swollen. Its not a whole body dropsy type swell though. Any ideas?

How long does it take usually for the new growing little plants to detach from the host plant. My spores started showing roots about 3 months ago and none have yet to detach. All my fern look like they have beards as the underside of the leaves are literally COVERED in new growth.

This was about a month after I set up the tank This is today about 4 months later not sure on the plants, all from a low light starter kit...so its a mix but as far as the fish 10 zebra danio 6 red eye tetra 5 pink skirt tetra 1 angel 6 ornate cory 3 albino tigers 2 velvet wag swordtail 4...

I got home today to find one of my snails shells empty and him nowhere to be found...just a communitry tank, most agrressive fish are the 3 tiger barbs...nothing that I know of that would have attacked it...any ideas??

had them for about 2 weeks, they seemed fine but mid last week looked a little ichy...so i started upping the heat slowly...now they look like somthing entirely different is wrong. The yellow one has what looks like a patch of raw skin and the black one and marble one have what looks like peely...

OK, I bought three swords about 4 months ago, 2 female 1 male. the female was SLIGHTLY larger than the males. Sometime about 2 months ago the smaller female grew the male "sword" on her tail. Now the bigger female is ALSO growing a sword??? Hahaha, whats going on?

I have a swordtail who I just noticed today has a spot of scales that seem pushed out on the side of its body and it seems lik a half moon of scales pushed up around its head. I've had a barb with dropsy before, where the whole body was swollen and all of the scales pineconed out but this just...

So my 55 is finally set up and going strong 1 Dwarf Gourami 2 Marble Angels 11 Zebra Danio 6 Red Eye Tetra 6 Ornate Cory 4 Albino Tiger Barb 2 Snails 3 Velvet Wag Swordtail 2 Algae Eaters

Ok, I have a small Mickey Mouse in my 20 gallon, been there for probably 2 months. All the fish are healthy and seem happy but this guy has always been more of a loner. Yesterday I noticed that his abdomen wasnt there...haha, all fish have a slight curve to their stomachs this poor little...

ok, so my plants are ordered, tank is 55 gal low light w/eco complete with no livestock yet. Is it just a matter of planting the roots up to the crown in the substrate? I read somewhere about soaking the plants in 10% potasium permanganate? I bought them all from aquariumplants.com. I'm...

haha, I feel like an idiot...I set up my 55 gallon and have an aquaclear 50 (I realize its a bit low on turnover, but its planted) on the way. Right now I have an old 20 gallon filter running just to turn over the water...and I realize....The tank is about 4" off the wall...FILLED, I totally...

So I have a small delivery of plants coming tomorrow for my 55, about 12 items. As of now there are no fish in the tank. Is somthing needed to supplement the plants while the bioload builds up from stocking fish? After I have the plants in for a couple of days I was planning on buying 3-4...

Fora 55 gallon low light planted tank...what are some bulb suggestions. I have the 2 hood factory setup right now that came with the tank. I beleive those are 18" bulbs. Somthing more natural in the way of light color, and not as white, unless this is crucial to the plants. Just looking for some...
