Currently it is on for 8-10 hours a day. My son had slept with a tank wherever he was sleeping since birth. When we moved him to his room o had to move the tank with him. (6 months ago) It has the LED lights that were on the tank and the tank is used as a nightlight and ambient sound at night...

I'm having a pretty serious algae production problem in my brackish tank. I am currently doing a water change a 25% once a week and during water changes I'm scrubbing everything with a toothbrush to get the algae off. Four days later my tank looks like this (I ckean the glass every other day...

One of my Otos is having a lot of color change. Particularly his head is turning white. He's acting normal and the rest of them looks normal. He is eating really well to. He typically eats with my pleco who eats zucchini, cucumber, sweet potatoes, etc. this weekend has been mostly zucchini...

I adore my figure 8 puffers! They will fight over who gets closest to me when I get close to the glass. They eat out of my hands and know my kids by face and swim around to show off for them. They are awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Heaters working great as far as I can see but I added another thermometer to keep track. She is rubbing get side on the sand sometimes, but no signs of anything else. She looks totally normal. The shimmying has slowed down this evening. She swam like normal for a few hours this evening before...

They told me they "threw in algae pellets every little bit as a treat and let him live on algae growth alone" Face meet Palm. Oyyy!! His diet is very different now and he is much more active and his coloration is improved greatly. It was sad though :/ I understand fully that if he gets much...

I'm not sure what kind of Pleco he is honestly. He came with the tank and is about 7 inches and nine years old. I'm hoping he doesn't get any bigger, as he's been in this Tank all of his life. My friends that owned the tank before me didn't exactly give him the best diet so I think that may...

The last one that died did, and this one. The others I didn't notice doing this but I assume they were.

Typically I do not, but my kids (4, 3, and 7 months) decided to all have meltdowns at the end of my filling my big tank. Lol My smaller puffer tanks water level is lower because of the structure of my pump requiring the water to be a bit lower. It's an odd corner filter that catches under the...

I have lost four Mollies in only two days. All my other fish are fine but my mollies have been acting funny then suddenly they are dead. My marbled Molly has it now she is shimmying and trying without success to eat veggie wafers. She's shaking so much it almost looks like seizures. I have a...

Oh, I had no idea! Thanks! I'll keep an eye out and if I see any bufup begin I'll take them out. The puffers LOVE to play in the bubbles right now!
