Hello all, I have a 29 gallon planted tank that is doing very well but I want to find a way to control my guppy population naturally. It seems like every time I look at the tank, I find a new baby guppy. Right now, I have about 5 full grown guppies in there along with a few babies. In addition...

So I set up a 20g planted awhile back and upgraded to a 29 gallon just a few months ago. I wasn't running CO2 and simply had a fluorescent bulb (very low tech). However, today marks the start of a new journey. I just upgraded my lighting to LEDs and am setting up a DIY CO2 system this weekend...

Hello all, I have a very low tech 29 gallon planted tank that is doing very well but I'm not getting the growth I'd like to see in the plants. I am not using a CO2 system (just liquid CO2) and have a cheap zoo Med flora sun plant bulb. I'm in high school supporting the tank off a minimum wage...

I have 5 neons in my 29 gallon planted and want to up the numbers of the school. I work at Pet Supplies Plus and we have some black neon tetras on sale. I was wondering if those would hang out with the neons. I'm thinking of getting five or so. I know it will probably work out, I just want to...

Hi all, I just bought a 29 gallon tank using the dollar per gallon sale at petco but now I need a new stand for it. I was planning on just getting a metal stand from petco but they were all sold out. I might just order that same one online unless you guys know of any other good, sturdy, stands...

Hello all, I have a 20g planted tank that has about 8 guppies in it right now that are currently breeding, so the number is expected to rise. However, I really want to switch over/add tetras once the aquarium becomes more densely planted. I know that both tetras and guppies are very peaceful...

So, I currently have 8 guppies in my 20g planted tank that are actively breeding. One of the fry from the most recently pregnant female is doing well and growing so technically I have 9 guppies. I also have 3 RCS. I'd like to add some sort of other small tetra/danio type fish that would do well...

I'm planning on buying some Seachem Flourish root tabs for my 20g planted tank. However, I have 3 red cherry shrimp in the tank and am wondering if the root tabs are safe to use with them. The root tabs do contain very small trace amounts of copper which I know is harmful to inverts. FYI, I'm...

Hi all, I'm looking to add some snails to my 20 gallon planted aquarium. In there I currently have a thriving fern and floating weed of some sort as well as some guppies that are breeding like crazy. I'm using tap water though so the algae is getting a bit out of control and I'd like to add...

Hello all, I currently have a 20 gallon planted tank that has a decent amount of algae growing in it. I have 4 guppies in there now and eventually would like to add some cherry shrimp if everything works out. I'm looking for a algae eater that is small enough for a 20 gallon tank and peaceful...

Hello all! I recently set up a 20g planted tank and so far it only has a few plants. I have some guppies in there now and I want to eventually add some shrimp so I want a nicely planted, dense tank with lots of hiding spots for shrimp, fry, etc. As far as lighting I only have two 5000k CFLs but...

Hi everybody! I recently set up a 20g planted tank and so far have 4 guppies and a few nice plants. The tank is supposed to be dedicated to growing plants but I've shifted my focus to both plants and animals. I'm interested in adding some cherry shrimp or ghost shrimp to excite the tank a bit...

So here's the deal. I've got a 20 gallon planted tank that has been cycling for a few weeks and I finally stocked it up a bit yesterday. I went to petco to get my guppies/plants and yes I said PETCO. However there are several by me and the one I usually go to is actually very nice. They've got...

Ok so my biggest worry as of now is lighting. I'm setting up a low tech 20g planted with low light, hardy plants and some fish. I'm not doing co2 or anything hardcore like that. I will be using some ferts though like API leaf zone and maybe some root tabs. For lighting though I'm only using 2...

Ok here we go...... My first planted tank is in the works. It will be a lower tech planted tank with some fish. I'm definitely gonna be adding swords along with some other low light, hardy plants. I also plan on adding some guppies and maybe some red cherry shrimp. The tank is currently in the...

Hello everybody, I am currently working on a 20g high planted tank. I already have enough equipment to get it going from barely used equipment. I just set it up today and can't wait to stock it up. It's been awhile since I've kept plants so remind me of what I need to be doing! Filter...

Hello all, I own a 75 gallon tank containing the inhabitants listed below. The tank is quite bare so I'm looking to add some live plants to liven it up a little bit but I am taking the proper steps before I do that. Right now, the tank is being lit with a a simple clip-on fixture and a strip...

Hello all, I currently have a 75 gallon tank stocked with 2 red eared slider turtles, 6 buenos aires tetras, 3 silver tip tetras, and a Chinese algae eater. The tank is running on a Rena filstar XP-2 and a tetra whisper 60 filter. I totally understand that it's a 75 gallon with only 10 fish...

So just over two years ago I ordered a Filstar XP-2 filter from drs fosters and smith online. About 1 year later, that filter broke from a damaged pump. About a month ago, I discovered that I could send the broken filter in for a new one under its 2 year warranty. Today, I received a brand new...

Hello all, My 75g tank stand is a mess and NEEDS to be organized. I'm looking for a basket type stand that you can install on the inside of the aquarium door. If you know what I mean, please tell me where I can find something like that but if not please give me some more organization ideas. As...

Just thought I'd share a pic of this bag with you all because we're all aquarium addicts here so I think you'll appreciate this cool bag my local LFS uses. I know this kind of a pointless post but I really like that Tetra bag. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice
