I have a 10g planted tank with AC30 filter It had been cycled and running ok for about a year. In early December, the tank experienced a pH crash which stalled out my cycle. On the direction of my LFS & several others, I did multiple water changes to restore the pH...which in theory should have...

The new 30g is progressing nicely. Current fish include 4 neon tetras & 2 julii cory; I'll be adding at least 4 more neons & 2 more cory. But I still haven't decided on a centerpiece fish. Any suggestions, other than dwarf gourami? I am considering them; but I'm pretty sure I want one in another...

During the fishless cycle in one of my 30gs, crystals began forming on the outside of the heater. Is the heat causing minerals to precipitate out of the water? Or is something else going on? Should I remove the crystals before putting in the fish, or will it be safe as-is? Both aquariums are...

The fish for my new 30g should be able to start coming home soon, and I'm still having trouble deciding. I definitely want neon tetras, and may be adding corydoras and dwarf gourami down the road. My options are as follows: a) just tetras b) tetras and cherry barbs or harlequin rasbora c) small...

The first of my 3 planned 30g aquariums is up and running, and I'm happy with all but one thing...the volume of sound produced by the filter. It literally sounds like I have a small motorbike in my dining room. So that I don't make the same mistake with #2 and #3, can anyone recommend filters...

The beta in question has since gone to the great fishbowl in the sky, but while he was living exhibited some odd behavior that no one I spoke to could ever explain. I'm still looking for answers... Background: My sister brought him home in one of those little fish cups, and transferred him...

Since the last of my old fish has gone to the great fishbowl in the sky, I'm looking to revamp my entire aquarium setup. My main tank is a 30g with two Tetra Whisper filters (an EX 30 & I 40); I also have a 3g and a 1g both with Tetra microfilters (and can we say water changes galore?). All are...

I'm new to the site, but have a fair amount of experience with aquariums. I've at various points had 50, 30, 3 and 1g tanks, with tetras, angels, goldfish, guppies, barbs, betas and several others (not in the same tanks). I had to give up my 50, unfortunately. I currently have 1-30g, 1-3g, and...
