I’ve got two 36” Finnex Fugeray Planted+, barely used on my tank before I went a different route. $90 each, $150 together (+s/h) I’m in Nicholasville, KY, 40356 if you want to price it out.

Well, I’m a parent. I’ve got a 220 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump, had the cabinet door open the other night and noticed movement in the sump. Looks like my acarichthys heckelii had babies, all of which are swimming around in my sump now. They range from about 1/2-3/4”, I’ve got a big section...

Basically just wanted to share this simple method for anyone dreading the cloudiness that occurs when adding sand to a tank. I saw the YouTube video where the guy funnels the sand into a bottle piece by piece but this was a lot quicker. If you want to be extra safe you can dunk the whole bag...

So it's been months since I had this 225 gallon delivered. It's taken forever to plumb the sump, mainly since I'm horrible at the "measuring twice" part. But I finally got it plumbed and I'm currently filling it for the test run. I'm nervous and need luck...

My new tank finally arrived and I'm pumped to get it set up. It's drilled acrylic, 72x24x30, 225 gallons. Planning on a low tech planted and can't choose between moving my current stock in my 150 over or starting a new tank. 150 has: 5 a. Heckelli, 5 Denison barbs, 11 various rainbows...

I just got the email that my 225 gallon will be shipped out 9/30. It's acrylic, so it's not insanely heavy, but still very heavy when filled. It'll be going on carpet, underneath of which is slab. Would it be best to put something underneath? I was thinking some type of rubber mat with a lip...

I'm upgrading from a 150 to a 225 gallon tank and am going to be swapping out my two canister filters for a sump. I'm going to be making the sump myself and have a few layouts and ideas floating around but would love to see any pictures of sumps that any of you may have on your freshwater tanks...

I'm about to upgrade my tank from a 150 to a 225 gallon. In the process I think I'm going to switch from the FX5 and FX6 canisters I have running currently to a sump system. I'm sick of having to lug around the canisters and cleaning them out so I'm hoping this sump will make it simpler. I'm...

It's been a long time since I've logged on here but just as a refresher, I currently have a 150 gallon tank. I'm running an FX5 and FX6 on it for filtration. I am moving in two weeks and don't really feel like lugging this giant glass aquarium with me. I think I'm going to buy an acrylic...

I'm trying to order everything so it's there when I get home and I'm looking for some submersible pump recommendations for my sump. I need about 1200-1500 gph, it'll be traveling around 4-5' to get to the tank. Also, on the topic of returns, how do you have the return setup in your display...

I've been emailing back and forth with a few people and when I get home I'm going to pull the trigger on getting a tank to start up saltwater. It'll be either a 90 gallon or 120 gallon depending on if this guy will trade me for my 45 or not. I'll have a 40 gallon sump, and then I can get a great...

Anyone have experience with these? I'm planning on starting a saltwater tank when I get home, still debating on size: 75, 90, or 120. Obviously I'm leaning towards the 120. I'm not sure if I want to make it a full on reef tank or focus on a lionfish and build it around him. Either way I saw...

When I get back home in a few weeks I am thinking of starting a saltwater tank. I'm thinking of going with a 75 gallon just because I like the dimensions and it gives me some room to play with without being too much to manage. The main fish I want is a lionfish. I would love to get a volitan...

So I just got back to my hotel from diving and checked my email and I got an email from my boyfriend telling me that all the rainbows in my tank are dying. He said they all started going to the top of the water and jumping out. It's boesemani, turquoise, and Australian rainbows. He said...

So some family issues made me come back early from my six week dive trip. I flew in last night and will be leaving again on Wednesday to pick up where we left off, so far the diving and trip has been absolutely amazing though. Howeverrrrr, upon getting home last night I noticed something was...

Pay for shipping and get as many golden mystery snails as you want. I probably have around 30-40 of them, all around pea sized. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

After a horrible experience with AquariumPlants.com I'm looking for some limnophila aromatica. Preferably at least 15-20 stems, but if you don't have that many then I'll just grow and propagate. If you have any please let me know. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

So in the process of designing and building my auto doser for my fertilizers I began to wonder if the rate that the fertilizers enter the tank would matter. Currently I just take the 15 ml and plop it in the tank all at once. Once I build the doser it'll be at a rate of 1.5 mL/minute, so 15 mL...

So I've been wanting to do something like this for awhile just because I'm lazy and hate doing fertilizers every day. Now though I'm going to be leaving the country for a little while in under a month and I don't want to make someone come to my house every day to fertilize my plants but I want...

So I was going through pictures and just saw these side by side. This is from last week, I'm not sure why it looks so cloudy. And this is from today, seven days later. I'm seeing such good growth since introducing the new light, I absolutely love it. I had to completely rip out my Cabomba...

I got this for free and love the way it looks and how well it has responded to my tank. I know I could figure this out if I looked into it a little more but I'm being lazy. Anybody know what this is? Ignore the fish, they got very interested when I began taking pictures. Sent from my iPad...

How big do the root systems get on alt. reineckii minis? In anticipation for the new lights I have arranged mine to start getting a carpet going. . I'm wondering if they are too cramped in there. It was kind of a hassle trying to plant all the s. Repens and alt. reineckii, my threadfin acara...

Just bought a couple varieties of this plant. I know everything says it's easy to grow, can be grown like Anubias and tied to wood or rocks, but can it be buried as well or is it strictly a tie to something kind of plant? I bought bucephalandra: brownie purple, brownie ghost, maestro blue...

If you have this plant show it off! I love how it looks on google images but I can't seem to find much information about it. I was barely able to find anyone selling it. I have a few coming tomorrow and am trying to figure out if where I'm planning on placing it is going to work. Sent from my...
