So I recently set up a 5 gallon tank and used all of the same decor that I used to have in my fully cycled 20 gallon. My question is how long will this one take to cycle? Will using any of the old stuff have an impact on the process for better or worse? Thanks!

Thanks for the info . some good ideas there. What If I wanted to turn this into a planted tank only, would I just need a heater? What are some good low maintenance plants for starters?

My girlfriend just got a fish tank. It's a 5 gallon all set up ready to go. Minutes the fish. We are going to do a fish less cycle and I figured getting a new filter for my tank wouldn't be a bad idea because then I could use my old established one in her tank to get the cycle moving. My...

I have a little one gallon desk top tank I'm going to set p and get running. Do I need a filter or heater? I really want something other than a beta maybe a tiny guppie or two. As far as setting it p and getting it running can I take some gravel and water from my 20 gallon into the 1 gallon to...

I don't feed veggies but I will start what's the best as far as nutrition goes and how do you give it to them little tiny pieces or one big one they can pick off of?

I desperately need to get a gravel vac for my 20 gallon tank as I know it is important for maintaining a clean and healthy fish tank. I was wondering what everyone's opinion is when it comes to the best most user friendly gravel vac's. has anyone ever attempted to make their own? What gravel...

Perfect thank you that should make things easy enough.

Yes I watched them rise as I monitored them almost daily and did frequent water changes. I did a water change then 2 days later when I tested it was magically 0. The test I just did 5 minutes ago indicated 0 ammonia and nitrites. Nitrates were less than 5. Thanks for the info ill keep a look...

Wondering what the best way to redecorate a tank would be. It will only be plants and decor I won't have to do anything under the gravel. Can I just take some water out and put my fish into a separate container then rearrange, add water and run the filter for a little to get whatever is...

I've had my tank up and running for over a month. Fish have been in for about 3 weeks now. I monitored my toxin levels very carefully all month and frequently did water changes. I watched my ammonia levels rise and fall and now today when I tested my nitrite is was back to none. Nitrate...

My mystery snail is doing fine but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do to strengthen or fix that shell.

My mystery snail just laid a large clutch of eggs above the water. They are getting enough moisture and are a pinkish white color. I was wondering if there was any way to keep them from getting eaten immediately after they hatch in case I am not here when they do. The fish I have in the tank...

Here's a picture looks like ill have baby snails on the way. Anyone know how long till these guys hatch? What should I do with them? When I do what're changes should I leave the water below these eggs?

When I woke up this morning I found a white mass stuck to the wall of my tank. It was above the water line and looks alot like a chewed up white price of gum. It is bumpy kinda like a bunch of balls stuck together but they are not clear in color. Wondering I anyone knows what this is? Did my...
