Hey guys! After having much success with my 5g acrylic RCS tank, I decided I want another tank! Originally, I was going to purchase another 5g tank but made of glass. I have since then discovered that they're not that easy to come by. So!.. I decided to give making my own a shot! And since I'm...

Hey guys, I just had a quick question about my shrimp tank. I'm moving in a couple of days and need to take my 5 gallon shrimp tank with me. What would be the best way to move them? I only have 3 RCS adults and 3 babies as far as I can tell. Should I put them in a Tupperware bowl? Or the bucket...

Hi guys, I want to build a moss wall (and eventually a carpet) for my tank. Which of these three mosses would work best for a wall and which of the remaining two work for a carpet? Java moss, star moss, and weeping moss. Thanks for all the help! :)

Hi guys, After a series of unfortunate events, (losing all of my fish to ick), the three shrimp I owned were all that remained. We have decided to do a 5g red cherry shrimp tank that is cycled and ready for more. I have a couple of plants in there, nothing too special, some marimo balls, java...

The guy at my lfs came to the conclusion that my fish got Ick from temperature swings. I have a heater but the lightbulb keeps fluctuating the water by +/- 2 degrees sometimes more. How can I fix it so it stays semi constant if not constant. Tank parameters: Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm...

Sorry if this is on the wrong catagory Tank size: 5g hex shape Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: less than 5ppm Temp: 77*F Stock: 3 RCS and 3 Ember tetras So my tank has Ick and the medicine we need to use (Tetra Ick Guard) could possibly kill the shrimp. That's the last thing I want to...

5g hexagon tank 3 embers, 2 cardinals, 3 shrimp? Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: A little under 5ppm Temperature: 78*F Real plants, 2 pieces of driftwood, and 10hr light exposure everyday. Today I noticed white spots on my fish, specifically the cardinal tetras along with one of the...

So my guppy has been fine since we got him. We had two of them because my roommate really wanted some despite not having the room for a whole school. But one died, the other has been fine. Now he's just kind of laying on the substrate a lot and doesn't really like to move around. Should I be...

I feel like there's a lot going wrong and I'm having a hard time telling them. They leave the light on all the time cause the fish go crazy when it's off (sporadic movement back and forth) which caused an algae problem and I'm pretty sure they didn't cycle their tank past the pest...

So it's super cloudy and it wasn't like that before. It got worse over the last couple of days. Not really sure what to do. Help? This is what it used to look like compared to how it is now. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

This is what I have going for the tank so far. It's only in its first week but it's going. There's 6 Marimo balls in there, 2 driftwood pieces, and Flourite Red substrate for future plants. Any thoughts or suggestions? Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 5g tank and was wondering what kind of heater I should be looking for and what I should get. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

So I just started my tank on the 23rd (after it finally came in) and I've been testing it with the API Master Test Kit. The pH of my tap water was at 8 while my aquarium (after adding in drift wood) hovers at 7.4 on the high pH and 7.6 on the regular pH. How am I supposed to figure out what my...

Hi guys, First post here so bare with me. I just recently, as in still don't even have it with me yet, purchased a Marineland 5 Gallon Eclipse Hexagon Aquarium. My boyfriend and I have decided that an aquarium would be the best course to go for our lifestyle, (i.e. dorm life, decent budget...
