I bought a 3d background for my new tank with the idea of putting the filter pickup tube behind the background. Will that be ok? Or does the pickup need to be in front? Water will be able to get behind the background since it's not tight against the sides of the tank. I though about drilling...

So I am building a new 65g aquarium. I bought my first canister filter. Penn Plax Cascade 1000. The manual clearly states the filtration works from bottom to top. But it says the order of the media is carbon in bottom basket and course/fine aponges in the top. Floss in the middle basket. My...

So I am shopping planning and saving for a big tank. 75 to 150g so far is some that I liked. I started looking at filter options and am getting confused. Understanding the need to turn the water over 4 times an hour, 150 gallon tank would need a flow rate of 600gph. Correct? So I am finding...

So I currently have a 29g tank and do 50% wc every Saturday via siphon gravel vac. I have already decided it's not big enough and am looking at bigger than 75g. Doing a 38g change, 2 buckets at at a time would end my bacj. Not to mention filling it back up 2 gallon at at a time. I don't have any...

Jack's Pets in Columbus is selling them for that. The stand is $200. No extra parts which is fine. Good deal or to good to be true? Aqueon tanks good quality?

Hi all. I have had my 3 pladdys die and I have no clue why. This is the tanks I have. Amazon.com: Marineland (Aquaria) AMLPFK29B Biowheel Aquarium Kit with LED Light, 29-Gallon: Pet Supplies Water temp is steady at 77.4 according to both a digital thermometer and the sticker one. I have been...

I think my gravel is hunting my albino corys. One sort looks like a whisker is torn. I could be being oversensitive though since he is acting odd. But I do see them trying to nose around in the gravel with not much luck. I was at petsmart today and came across this black sand but it had an...

The last couple days we noticed one of our Cory's laying on the bottom of the tank but not flat on his belly. One side slightly higher than the other. Has a couple small red dots below eyes on each side. Acting much more lethargic than the other Cory is. LFS says it sounds like high ammonia...

On my filter on the intake tube, there is an adjustable intake valve towards the top that in varying degrees would bypass the intake at the bottom of the tube. Lfs said this will vary the output flow of the water that doesn't.t make sense. It seems more like it is either to reduce the intake...

In my 2nd tank with 2 danios and a patty (starter fish) to cycle the tank. I know should have cycled without fish now that I found this site. But like most I was told otherwise by LFS. Pet smart for the record. Anyway, so according to the pamphlet that was included with my tank kit, the bio...

Ok so like many I got here because I was told by lfs that I needed fish to cycle the tank. Have lost 2 pladdies. Water got really cloudy. Was not to change any water until it cycles. Kept taking them my water to test. Said that it would cycle if I just keep at it.was getting mad that fish were...
