Hi there! It's been a while since I posted here. Had lots of success years ago with several planted tanks and a small reef tank. Life happened and I moved to Florida...set up a 36 gallon corner tank but did not have any luck with plants. Went back to plastic (eeek!!) but now I really want to get...

Hi there! I'm not new to AquariumAdvice but I haven't posted in years so I figure I'm pretty much new again. Several years ago I was really into my tanks and had a couple of planted tanks and a small reef tank. Four years ago I moved to Florida and set up one freshwater tank but didn't do much...

I have a large plastic pail (160 gallon mix) of Reef Crystals that I bought in 2008 but never used. The pail has never been opened. Probably not going to set up another SW tank for a year or two and I'm wondering if the salt is still good or if I should trash it and start over when I actually...

Selling a Rena Filstar XP3 canister filter with a 300 watt Hydor inline heater. Filter comes with all parts and a bunch (~20-30) of replacement filter pads (200, 300 and micro). Just needs the biomedia of your choice. Filter was used for 4 years on freshwater planted tanks only, no copper...

The "little" blue fish is actually a relatively big (3.5") male Turquoise rainbowfish.

Thought I'd update: still haven't hooked up the CO2 but the plants are doing well. Time for a rescape soon.

Will definitely be in contact with you guys after Thanksgiving! Thanks!

Do you have a picture of the Ludwigia?

75g with 216 watts T5HO and injected CO2...looking for medium to high light stem and foreground plants. Let me know what you have! NOT looking for any java fern, crypts, swords (except chain), anubias or floating plants.

Finally got the new tank set up today!! Canopy doesn't fit over the lights but that's a minor issue. Aquascaping is nonexistant - basically just tossed everything in pretty much the same place it was in the 55. I need to get my CO2 hooked up and then get some new plants! Last pic of the 55...

The 75g that I just got came with a box of accessories that I do not want. I did not exhaustively go through the box but this is what I saw poking through. $75 shipped for the whole lot, I will NOT sell things separately. There are no hoses for either of the filters, and I have not tried any...

Yes, looks like lobelia cardinalis to me. The purple, larger leaves may be emersed growth, which will die off eventually.

The rainbows don't school at all! They all hang out together, but not schooling in the true sense. The tetras do school, particularly the rummies. Where one goes, they all go. Yes, they are model boats. I built the one on the left, a friend built the one on the right. They make cool...

Right now in the 55 I have a bunch of rainbowfish, mostly turquoises and a couple boeseman's. Also a school of rummynose and pristella tetras, some cory cats, otos, a bristlenose pleco, and a few other things.
