3/16". Sold as air tubing. Feels like rubber.

I want to use black silicon tubing for my CO2 injection. Some folks say I will lose the CO2 and others say the loss would be so minimal at that pressure. I use standard clear tubing now, I just like the cosmetic look on my black glass panel. Appreciate any feedback.

I only have a 29 Gallon, but I got (2) of the new 3.0's. I needed the wattage! These guys are 32 watts each. (24-34") model. Use CO2. Need highlight for ground cover.

Bought three new little clown loaches 6 months ago. One has developed white small pimples (for lack of a better word). This might have come across from the neons, see the same thing. 30 gal tank. 8 years old. Fluval and hanging AquaClear 70. I have had this before with other loaches and...

I am in southern California. Do any tropical fish stores carry more high-end angelfish? Have any of you used mail order fish with success. There are some nice ones on-line. Thanks, Mr. Breeze

I set up a planted Evolve 8 two months ago for my grandson. This is a planted tank with Java Fern, Wisteria, Australian Bacopa, Tiger Lotus, Dwarf Sag. and Pond Cabbage. Fish currently are 9 Neons, 2 Red Dwarf Gourami and 2 Panda Corys and 4 Ottos. Fish are well and plants seem to be doing...

I have purchased an Aqueon Evolve 8. They sat it's an 8 gallon, but it strikes me more as a 5 gallon. I bought a 25 watt heater that is preset and looks like it is working, hence the red light turning on and off. I also have good water circulation. My issue is that the tank looks like it is...

I would like to add a dwarf pleco to my 30 gal. Should be around 3-4 inches at adulthood. What are the prettiest available in this size and do any of you know of any good stores in southern California? Thanks, Mr. Breeze

Sorry, what is PFS?

I have used Eco-Complete, but would like to get other opinions on substrate set-up. I have seen the Pro's use all kinds of secret formulas of this and that and a pinch of this and a tablespoon under here,.... I am thinking of a lighter tone gravel this time. 4 gallon Nano, fresh water with...

29 gal. Checked ammonia levels. They are ok. I do 25% wáter changes per week.

angels, rasboras, platys, loaches, ottos, SAE's

I know what your talking about. However, he struck me a little sluggish the last few days before he disappeared. Lifespan is about 5 years for the smaller species, right?

I had a 3" Pleco that was over 5 years old. I can't find him anymore and he always came out for his cucumber. I have a heavily planted tank, with driftwood and rocks. To try and find him would be a major disturbance to the landscape. The question is, what are the considerations leaving him in...

Yeah, you may be right.
