Fresh2o is right. Breaking up your light cycle helps! I've had anubias in high and low tech planted tanks, and my light cycles with all of those tanks have been on 6-10am and then again from 6-10pm. Algae isn't given a chance to really establish itself well enough to cause problems. I would...

They may flare up but mine have always figured out they can't actually get to each other and calmed down. I have also purchase black acrylic before that's aquarium safe and just used that as a divider Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The reason most people keep discus by themselves is because of the temperature that they are kept at! No one is bashing you specifically. I can't stress enough that the point of this forum is to help people and in my opinion point things out in a polite manor. Not one person has said anything...

Salt or freshwater? Regardless you need an ammonia source... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm not trying to be rude, however the point of the forum is to help people. Your tank is overstocked as is, and only going to get worse I was just sharing that fact. The poster above said It perfectly. Unless you have the 90 gallon ready to go don't make your plan for discus. Stock that 40...

Especially as these discus grow, you are way overstocked. What is your temperature at? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It seems like you don't know all that much about them. I've kept them multiple times. As gillie said the only time they ever seemed stress it was due to water parameters, and once those got in check the discus color was fine. Again, as gillie said your discus look like they're very young, so as...

Thanks everyone for the help! Seaweed, thanks for bringing up the skimmer, and sniper much help as always! Thanks again everyone Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ha, the skimmer makes loads of sense! Gese wish I woulda thought about that! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah it's just 2x4 wrapped in ply which has 2 coats of paint on the inside and out. I just want to make sure it's something I can catch before it's too late lol Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That makes me feel much better, I'm not running an auto top off on this system yet, so I got nervous... All my other systems have auto top offs and I routinely fill the reserve bucket up 2-3 times a month, so I don't notice the loss in the sump itself. My other question is, this is the first...

Hi all, I recently set up a 60 gallon rimless cube with a 10 gallon sump underneath. I have noticed that my water level inside the sump is dropping (more than expected) over the past 2 days.... Maybe about 1/4-1/2 inch or so..... I check everything and there is no leaks. I do have this in a...

100 percent accurate. Don't add anything else, or buy a much larger tank! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Here's the deal, first off the inch of fish per gallon rule is extremely out dated and in my opinion shouldn't be followed anymore. Next, you should have 1 goldfish for the first 20 gallons of water and 1 goldfish for each additional ten gallons after that. With that being said for your 8...

Personally I think it turned out awesome! I think you just have to place the proper corals higher up, or maybe not even place corals on the top shelves. Just because they're there doesn't mean they have to hold a coral! The only thing I would make sure is that the bridges are either glued...

I agree with everything here, if he is in a 55 gallon it's way to small for him. If you can't feed him, get rid of him. Find him a home that can properly care for him. I understand that money issues happen, and you're only sixteen........ However if you can't afford 6 bucks a week to buy him...

I had the top of the stand open. Obviously I had supports on the sides and corners, but the top of the stand didn't have anything covering it. And someone told me it was doomed for failure because the entire bottom pane of glass carries the weight in the center on rimless Sent from my iPhone...

Hi all! I've Been building stands for quite some time now and have never been stumped, but this build is stumping me. It is for a 60 gallon rimless cube and I had my plan, however I read one post on a forum that said I have to change the entire design because all the weight for rimless cubes are...

So it isn't detrimental to my system then? Eventually it will just pop or go away? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Hi all, this is on top of my snail sorry for the bad pic. The only place in my tank this is, is on my snail! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Thank you! I spend lots of money on my bettas. They're under estimated in the hobby, and I breed quality bettas! That's my crown tail male, not a crazy coloration but fantastic finnage! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Correct. Media, and filter should stay wet Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Saving the water is really only good for temperature matching. If you can put treated tap water back in at approximately the same temperature it will do the same thing. There is next to no beneficial bacteria in the water column it is all in the filter media and substrate. If you want to re...

Mine came out of nowhere, he seems fine.... Long as it doesn't get bigger Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
