Wow, what a difference! I have not had nearly as much stuff growing on my tank since putting in my UV. Amazing. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I turn the lights off, and do 20 minute float in the bag, then take out 1/2 cup of bag water, and add a 1/2 a cup of water from my tank every 10 minutes for an hour. Then I net the fish and ease it into my tank. Leave the lights off for about 2 hours. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Silver Dollars - ate all my plants. Iridescent Shark - just nuts! Dojo Loach - kept jumping out of my tank, even though the space was only tiny. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I love my Finnex. Excellent growth from my plants. I threw away my Currents. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

Everybody in my tank loves the shrimp pellets! And I have a pretty good selection of fish, including Corys. That is probably the favorite. But I do use algae wafers, carnivore pellets, and bloodworms, along with a New Life Grow pellet and a few other tiny pelleted foods. No flakes at all...

Has anyone tried to remove scratches from an acrylic tank? I have just a few, in one area, and when I put in a new light (Finnex planted plus) the scratches really seem to show up. I am getting a new stand soon, and will have to disassemble the tank to set it up, and thought that might be a...

My Chocolate Plecostomous, Clown plecostomous, and a bristlenose, feeding on a piece of zucchini. Have used cucumber and romaine also, but have never tried peas. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I have a little plastic cone that floats at the top of the water, and I drop the frozen cubes into it, and as it melts, the fish are able to get the food. I don't remember where I got it, though. Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice

I made my tabs yesterday with Osmocote +, and I'm putting them in tonight. Can't wait to see my plants get bigger! Sent from my iPad using Aquarium Advice
