Hello all! First of all I'm a newbie so bare with me please. Recently we have had a few fish die off. 3 julii Cory cats, a few neon tetras and a few hours ago I had to cull an adult female guppy. The corys started swimming weird, upside down and had red coloration around their gills and...

Let me explain. The sunlight the tank receives is very filtered and happens only for a few hours in the morning. The tank is not in the window. Its a room over in the dining room. And yes, the hood came with the tank (my avatar picture). Its a reflecting fluorescent hood. We read many...

Its such a gorgeous plant. If the lighting Is what really brings out the red, does anyone have any suggestions on lighting? The tank receives approximately 4 hours of filtered sunlight a day. And I recently switched from an 15 watt full spectrum fluorescent to a 15 watt T8 floramax. The tank...

Awesome. Thanks everyone.

Ok good to know. Do either of you or anyone else know if adding iron helps? Perhaps to bring out the red more? We have been adding seachem flourish, excel and iron very sparingly until we perfect the dosing for our specific tank. Also, is it normal to see little roots growing from the tops...

Im wondering if anyone may have some info on this plant. I can't seem to find any info as far as care, not much on Google. I planted it a few weeks back and it seems to be doing well just want to know more about it.

Thanks for the advice! Any more is a plus! A question for old scales. I am currently running an aqueon quiet flow 10 on my tank. I've noticed that this media comes in different sizes. Do you suggest a particular size?

Has any one used this for your aquarium? Is it for use with HOB filters, or canister filters? We were considering trying this with our HOB filter, but would like to hear more about it from someone with experience using it. Please let us know how you have used this product, with which filter, and...

Ok guys. Tanks for the advice.

Hello all. Recently I have decided that I'm getting kind of bored with my fish tank. I love the fish don't get me wrong. But the tank is small and set up the way I like and I don't want to over crowd the tank. So I decided to up the anty. In a few weeks I plan to buy a 60 gal for another fw...

Hello all! My name is Bryan. I am new to this hobby and website and figured I should give you a little background info as to how I got into the hobby. As a child growing up, I had a goldfish bowl or 2. I've always been fascinated by fish and aquairums. About 6 years ago I owned a 20 gal...
