It was sold to me very young as an oranda which i wanted but I'm starting to believe that it's not, any help?

I have a goldfish tank (bow front) and am thinking of instead of gravel, getting a fake turf like substrate that will be tough and the goldfish can look for food through without ingesting any, and then I can just cut holes in to add potted plants, and driftwood with java and Anubias. Any...

I understand that but 400gph is the stated, it definitely doesn't push that much out when it's full of filters and media, I would assume that they run about the same in reality but I don't wanna run both, I wanna get rid of the emperor. I was thinking fx5 but I think that would be way too much...

I have two orandas and a black moor. Would it be enough filtration for them? Have an emperor 400 now but would like something better, a new canister (advanced) any advice??

Thanks a lot for the replies but I definitely want a system that's way more advanced and will keep my fish super clean and healthy plus if I ever were to upgrade I can keep this long term, also I know that goldfish need it super clean because they're super duty waste producers, just a bit...

How about a fluval g3? Would that be a better idea, less flow but still significantly advanced filtration, i run a marineland emperor 400 and im not disappointed with it, but im not impressed and maintenance seems to be an annoyance. I'd like to go to a canister, just looking for something that...

I have a slightly planted 46 euro bow front and am wondering if after the fx5 is filled with media, if it will be too much flow/current for my 3 fancies???

Well no i will not have a co2 system because i have goldfish in there and the combination of food and their wastes and oxygen use should take care of that quite well. U will also be using seachem flourish tabs for my rooted plants and the liquid fundamental 3 pack from seachem as well. Do you...

I have a glass canopy on my tank, just wondering if i can use these light fixtures on my tank with the glass canopy attached. I see many pictured showing multiple mounting legs/brackets and wondering if you guys out there have these... If you do please let me know which one you have and if you...

P.S. i have a freshwater 36" wide 46g Bowfront, so i'd like to have 3 or 4 t5ho bulbs in the fixture

I want to add plants to my aquarium, i'm looking for a t5 ho fixture that i can use on top of my glass canopy, but it seems like any fixtures i look at, have to be screwed tight and wouldnt just sit on the rim. Are there any suggestions for any t5 ho fixtures that can just sit well with a canopy...

Just curious as to why the marimo shouldn't be dosed with excel??

I just bought a brazilian sword and 2 marimo balls for my fancy goldfish aquarium to help with nitrates a bit and for the beauty of them.. But i'm curious if using the Seachem flourish line of products (excel, comprehensive and iron) will have a negative affect on my fish.. Thanks for the help...

Hi all, i have a 46g euro bowfront freshwater tank already and thats going great, but im thinking of starting a 20g saltwater reef tank to get acclimated for it because i plan on putting a huge raceway or round tank in my basement, split in half, for fresh and saltwater (about 1000 gallons is my...

Any success making gel foods (for goldfish) that dont absolutely stink like nastiness??
