Depending on where you live, if price is a concern, I would consider going on craigslist. I'm live close to a fairly urban area, and have found some crazy deals, including a 55 with stand, tank, and live rock for 175, and a 60 with tank stand, fish, live rock, skimmers, etc for $150! With a...

Thanks everyone! I just switched some foam from my filters, and my betta seems happy, and is eating well!

In the 5gal filter I have 1 layer of foam that is soft and very meshy, which I consider the bio filter, and one layer that is kind of just a physical filter for big stuff, I have that foam in the 45 gal filter too, so I just switched some of it out. How much time (if any) should it take for...

Hi! So, I currently have a very lightly, pretty well established 45 gal tank with a cycled filter an empty 5 gal (used to have fish ~1 year ago, probably not filtered anymore) with sand and plants, and an empty 20 gal tank (used to have fish ~6 months? ago, probably not cycled anymore either)...

Hello everyone! I just recently switched my 10g (empty) substrate from white sand to black sand, and I guess when I was refilling the tank the water was too warm? I'm not really sure, the water wasn't *that* hot, maybe like 90o tops. Anyways, after refilling it, I noticed that some of the...

I currently have a double sponge filter in the 45 gal, and it has been inside for almost a year and a half. When the time comes could I take that out and use it as a filter for the 10g(Shrimp tank)? Or would it not be enough/ take too many bacteria out of the 45?

This is a really good idea!! I have the filter in my larger tank now. Would this method work for cycling other filters? I recently got a new 20 long that hasn't been cycled yet. Thanks!

Hello everyone! I posted this before in the invert forum, but I think it belongs more in this one. So I have a 10 gallon tank currently hosting nothing but plants, and has only had plants in it for maybe... a year now? Before it had quite a few fish, I think 8 neons or so. However, those have...

Now that I have looked it up, I think it is this... should I isolate him/her? I don't want to stress it our even more by having to move it... he's just lying down on the sand right now, and I'm doing a water change like 5mins after I type this... is there anything else I can do to help him? **...

Before this the tetras have all shoaled together loosely, the two neons were almost always side by side. Idk if they're really white growths, but the tetra is question has this little bump on its back sort of. I'll see if I can get a pic in the morning Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi everyone! My tank is a 45 gal, hagen 306 with a sponge filter and kind of messed up air pump, getting that replaced soon. 1x gbr 2x peppered cories 6x rummynose tetra 2x neon tetra (I am aware of improper schooling numbers, trying to work out fish as I am in the middle of setting up a...

Apparently my first message didn't send from my phone, sorry for late reply! I have actually had surprising success with my neons... my two lone neons have survived a 4ppm nitrite spike, and then some... If I got cardinals, what would I do with the leftover neons? :l Threadfin rainbows look...

Both? o.O what a lucky guy! lol. but could you elaborate? I might buy 2 and then maybe just keep the other in the 45? :L

Hello everybody! I have a single male GBR who's mate just died recently x(. I was wondering about the best/easiest way to pair him up again? I'm 14 and I can't drive, my parents aren't that enthusiastic about driving me places just for fish, hopefully I can go maybe once a month to my LFS...

Hello everybody! Here's the situation. Unfortunately, about 5 days ago my female GBR died for currently unknown reason ;(. This has left her mate a widower. I currently have a 20 gal L tank sitting, mildly planted, not yet cycled, and a 10g tank that's pretty much just storage space for my...

Some questions now if I may - 1) I know have 1 GBR Male 2 Neons 6 RMNT 1 Glow danio :l 2 Peppered Cories a 45 gal tank and a 20 gal tank. What to do? Question 2 will the male ever find love again? Meaning will he ever pair up again? Or should I just keep him on his own? Question 3...

Found her remains behind a large rock. :( She lived for a bit over a year. I'm actually really sad - she had a lot of personality, and while not the most colorful GBR I've ever seen, she would flare up a lot during feeding. She was really enthusiastic and always hungry x). Rest in Peace...

For whatever reason, I cannot find my female GBR! Her mate is just roaming around, and all as bright as ever. However, I just can't seem to find the other GBR anywhere! :c Where do you think she is? Hiding? I'm pretty scared right now and if anyone has any ideas on where she might be, that'd be...

Alright, coolio. I just don't want anything going wrong with this tank. It must be perfect! ;P

So... I have a 45 gallon that is... sorta meh tbh... It has 2 gbr 6 Rummynose tetras 2 Neon tetras 2 Peppered cories (they keep dying for pretty much no reason... if the GBR of all fish are fine and breeding what problems do you have ;_; ) 1 Pink glow danio :D Sitting at ~ 80o F I also have an...

So, long story short, finally got around to setting up my 20 Long. Unfortunately, I forgot to wash the PFS, which has been sitting in my garage for quite some time (The bag was loosely closed to prevent dirt and heaven forbid chemicals from getting in) this sand has ONLY been used for...

Idk that it's the school. Might just be the quality of the stock. I originally bought 5 from petsmart @ 1$ each and they've been dying off :( My 2 Neons were more expensive but have been through a LOT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tank is moderately planted with Java Moss, Amazon Swords, Mystery plant that resembles moneywart? (I've had this for a loooooooooooong time from petsmart) and some crypts. water is at around 78o F. Running a Fluval 306 Water params are 0/0/5-20~.

HELP! One of my Cories is lying still at the bottom of the tank. It isn't moving much, and the other cories are doing alright. However, this one is just lying still at the bottom. I'm pretty much freaking out right now. What should I do? 45 Gallon 3 Peppered Cories 2 Neon tetras 6...
