I am a little confused. Tomorrow I am setting up the new bigger tank (120) and it has been suggested to me I use egg crate under the substrate to protect the glass from the weight of the rock. Is this a plastic grid or are we talking a foam insert like for a mattress pad? Anyone have any...

I got into this hobby a whole two months ago. I have made every mistake in the book. Litterally every one of them. If you were to compile a list of most common mistakes of new fish keepers I will appear on every single one of them. Still yet I can tell I love this. I started out with a 55...

Got the OK from the wife to get the 120 gallon tank I want finally. So being that it will be a month or so before I get it I am trying to take my time and really plan this one out correctly from the get go. Obviously the first thing I want to do is figure out exactly how I want to stock it...

I have a 55 gallon freshwater. two filters, one emperor 400 and one Penguin 350. I have had it running for about 3.5 weeks now. by not knowing what I was doing and following advice from petsmart I got in over my head. I currently have 5 whitefin (4glofish) tetra. Three black skirt tetra...

Would a whitefin tetra and glofish tetras together be the same as one school. I have four glofish tetra and by mistake got one single whitefin tetra. Will the whitefin and glofish being that there almost identical be happy together?

Hope i am not posting too much on these forums. If I am please tell me. My Aquarium is a 55 gallon. I will prob have it lightly planted but not overly so. Really want it to be an eye catcher. What type of lights would you guys suggest to really make it pop? Also if having NO plants would...

Guys excuse me if this is a really stupid question as I have zero experience with this thing. I am new to running an aquarium (much more complicated than I imagined). I have a 55 gallon tank. I put an emperor 400 on it the day I set it up. It seemed to be working fine. It does get suction...
