Hey. I got some hornwort plants in my tank. They have grown exceptionally tall and they look great, apart from the grey kind of fuzz that's sitting on the lower part of it. Can anyone tell me what the dusty kind of fuzz is? And how can I get rid of it?

Okay pictures don't seem to be working..

I have a friend who is also into this hobby. He has a 55 gallon community tank. I have recommended him to this site so maybe you guys can see pictures of it soon because he has a great set up. Anyway, he bought some wood and him and his dad built a custom stand for his aquarium. I loved the look...

I have tried to research about putting the freshwater salt in the aquarium, but i can't seem to find anything about how my turtle will react to it. Some one tried it with their red eared sliders and there was no harm done but I just want to make sure about my Chinese golden thread turtle. If...

I have my first question, I have a friend who puts aquarium salt into his freshwater aquarium. It is supposably good for the fish and their slime coat and their immune system. So I was thinking of putting some of this in my aquarium but I don't know how my turtle will react to this. If anyone...

When I bought my driftwood, I put it in hot water and let it sit there for an hour or so. When I came back the water was all brown so I drained it an repeat. I did this until the water stayed clear, then I added it to my aquarium. Nothing bad happened and the water stayed clean and my...

Like I said earlier, I plan on getting another tank in the future. Since all of these fish are still quite small, there is a lot of space but when it starts getting a little crowded in there I will upgrade or, if it comes down to it, sell them back to a pet store or a friend.

Wow that guy is sweet. How much did you get him for? What's his name?

I have actually made another thread about this since this was the "new member" thread. My other one is called 55g Turtle-Tank with fish. I hope to attract other turtle keepers or just some people with experience like you so please check it out.

Hey, my name is Matt and I was hoping to start a discussion here about housing turtles with fish, with other turtle owners. I've got a chinese golden thread turtle which I've had him for over a year now and I have recently upgraded him from a 10 gallon tank to a 55 gallon tank just a few months...

Yes I have the UVB light. As for the basking lamp that's a no. I think he uses the UVB light to regulate his temperature since I have his beach so close to it, it does get pretty warm. I have taken him to my local pet store and they were amazed by how healthy he was and how nice his shell was so...

I've read everything on here and I have to say that your tank is amazing. I hope to upgrade to a saltwater sometime later and I hope it will look as cool as this.

The turtle is the main reason why I got a tank so big and how I got into fish in the first place. When I first got him (his name is Pete or Petie) a year ago, he was half his size maybe even smaller. I kept him in a small 10 gallon tank by himself and for reasons unknown to myself, I never...

Here are some pics as requested. I will put them in a timeline because there may be quite a few...
