    PVC Pleco Cave

    I'll be getting a gold nugget pleco in the next week or so for my 50g and I was looking at making caves for it to hide in. It's 2.5 inches from what the store told me and I was wondering if 1.5 x 6 inch PVC pipe would be large enough for it. Would they require caps on one end to make it more...

    50g Tank Stand

    I couldn't find a stand that I liked for my 50 gallon so I decided to make one. We've got kind of a rustic theme in the house so, I decided to go the pallet route and make one out of pallets. I didn't take any pictures during the main build because it was the typical 2 x 4 stand. I used a...

    Cycling 50g

    I've got a 50 gallon that has a hang on back with filter media from my 29 gallon and has been running for two days. Would it be safe to put a gourami or angel fish from my 29 gallon in there to help get the water cycled quicker? I plan on getting plants next weekend. I'm wanting to get the two...

    Heater for small tank

    My wife has a 4g tank that is ready for a betta except I haven't found a heater for it yet. All of the smaller ones (25w or less) I've looked at seem to have terrible reviews, mostly that they stop working within two to four weeks after purchase. The brands I tend to look at Aqueon Pro, Fluval...

    Worm-like thing from my gourami

    Three days ago my son noticed something hanging off the bottom of my opaline gourami. It was worm-like, about an inch long, pinkish in color coming from between the pectoral barbs, not the rear of the fish. I went to grab my phone to take a photo and when I got back, it was gone. I've searched...

    Ecocomplete

    What is the difference between ecocomplete black and red? On the manufacturer's site it looks like the red is slightly larger. I have a 50g that will be a low light planted with ecocomplete for a bottom layer and gravel on top.

    Moving to a 50g

    I'm going to be replacing my 29g with a 50g in the next couple weeks. Currently in the 29g are an angelfish, a gourami and a dwarf gourami which are all migrating to the 50g when it's ready. I'll be adding four or five corys because my wife has been wanting some. Also, I'm going to attempt a...

    Feeding nerite snails

    I'm trying to decide about nerite snails. I've got a 29g with only a tiny bit of algae on the decorations. The amount in there probably isn't enough to sustain a couple snails so, is there something else they eat? In a previous tank I had a couple and liked watching them crawl around, so I want...

    Water conditioner

    I'm setting up my new 29g. The sand is in and the water has cleared up and I want to put in the water conditioner. Will the carbon insert in my filter negate the conditioner? Does the carbon even need to be in there at this point?

    Starting up a tank

    I'm getting a 29g going. The pool filter sand is in and I have it two thirds full at the moment. The water was still pretty cloudy after rinsing off the sand, so I attached one of these around the the power filter intake and cranked it up. FX5/6 Water Polishing Pads | A246 | Filter Media |...

    Hood advice

    I've got a 29gal that I'm starting to buy equipment for and am trying to figure out lighting. The Marineland led hood I was planning on buying has had quite a lot of bad reviews for rusting within a couple months. Their led bar, however, has had much better reviews and I can get it for about the...

    New with a 27g

    Hi, I'm sort of new to the hobby and am looking for advice for a 27g tank I picked up. The local fish store just shut down so, I don't have a huge selection. I did however find a few fish that were interesting and came up with this list using AqAdvisor (which I found, thanks to this site). 2...
