Filter Media Suggestions? I have an Innovative Marine Nuvo 16 gallon tank that has been up and running for a couple of months. Really hate the stock media baskets so I have ordered two by InTank to replace them. Does anyone have any suggestions on filter media for the new baskets? Right now it...

I made the mistake of buying 5 red ramshorn snails in January or February. Since I knew they would breed (but had no idea how prolifically) I put them in separate tanks. I don't think that mattered as they apparently had already bred and now I have 3 tanks that are overrun by the snails. I have...

Let me start with the tank info first to get that out of the way.... Fluval Spec V (5 gallon) I betta, 2 mollies, 1 mystery snail. Tank has been set up since February 11 and stock was added one at a time. The LFS told me I could keep 2 mollies in a 5 gal with my betta so I really don't need to...

I just added a brighter light fixture to my Fluval Spec V tank hoping that I could grow some red and pinkish plants. The light is a Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Aquarium LED Light Plus Moonlights 20"...... Does anyone know what light level I now have? And do I need to dose with a liquid carbon...

I tried out 3 ghost just to see if they would live in my tank. They did but two of them jumped out after I put some plants in the tank. I could only find one but I put it back. At some point one of the two remaining shrimp jumped from the tank again....I found it about 4 feet away later. I like...

This might seem like a total no brainer, but I'm wondering if I can get any advice on this subject. My planted stem plants are getting uprooted replanted so much in one of my tanks that the stems are getting mushy before they can root. As a result the plants get pinched back to the good part and...

I have posted about my ammonia problem once and since it seems to keep dragging on, I'm posting again because I am so frustrated. I have a Fluval Spec V that has been up and running since February 11 (It's a 5 gallon tank for those of you not familiar with Fluval tanks). For the first week it...

I have bought and mostly killed :facepalm: three different "colonies" of Cherry Shrimp and it's driving me crazy. I'm think my first little colony of 15 died because of an ammonia spike. The second colony of 10 had a die off after I added a new plant to my tank, but I did manage to save three of...

I recently bought 4 snails sold as "Purple Zebra Snails". Newbie that I am, I assumed that they were a type of the zebra snail species, but purple. Now I am questioning this assumption :confused:. I believe that they are actually a purple mystery snail. Can anyone look at these pictures and help...

I am very new to shrimp and new to planted tanks. I have a Fluval Spec V with a betta 3 purple zebra snails and as of yesterday 10 cherry shrimp. I had recently ordered 3 Anubias Nana "Petite" and they arrived today. I soaked them in some salt water to kill any possible snail pests (I read on...

I ordered something from eBay that was called "Pearl Moss" and looked gorgeous in the picture. When I receive it from Singapore yesterday (after a very long wait) I got something that looks like the moss that grows in my yard and it was muddy. On the label it was listed as "affine", so I did...
