After moving into a new bedroom and moving my fish tank to the hall, my chinese algae eater who was at least 4 years old died (There could have been multiple reasons as to why, but I am unsure at this current time!). The CAE used to have odessa barbs as tankmates, but they all seemed to kill...

The bigger tank you can get, the better. The smallest tank I'd keep one in is a 33g tank, but this will really limit what you can put in there. I myself have a chinese algae eater in a 35g tank with an assortment of barbs. The barbs are too fast for the chinese algae eater to bother. I'd...

Thanks you two, +1 to both of you. The bulbs between 5000-10,000K give off a neutral white light, which is what I was looking for. Anything lower is red/yellow, anything higher is blue/violet. I've got nothing in my tank with specific needs for having those, and I think the white light is more...

Alright, I looked at all of Hagen's light bulbs, and I think the "Life-Glo 2" best matches what you guys said I should aim for; It has 6700K. I looked in on the old bulb I have, it's 18000K, just a little too high! I've got no knowledge about lighting, but does the Kelvin go down as the bulb...

I have a 35-gallon Hagen tank I got from a friend around six months ago, and I've never changed the light bulb in it. At first I thought the light was just a low-power one, it was a kind of purple colour. I eventually decided to take the bulb out and find out what type it was. Turns out it was...

Right now I've got seven odessa barbs in my thirty five gallon long tank. I've had the barbs for a good few months now, and before when I only had about five of them, one barb was always picked on. I never really saw it happen, but the barb had nipped fins and was much thinner than the other...

Well, I forgot to ask this a day or two ago, but here's my question: Is there anything fancy I have to do to the rocks I have to make them aquarium safe? I got them in one of those places with huge quantities of rocks that come straight from the quarry. I've scrubbed the rocks a few times, and...

Wow, so it's just for rocks like lava rock and other sharp rocks and when you have a large amount of weight in one spot that you'd use egg crates.

Yeah, I was careful when I chose the rocks, and the structure is solid, thank you both for the help!

The rocks are flat with no sharp edges, so no chance of it breaking the glass. And you say to put it against the glass? I'm planning on stacking them into a cave structure, and the ones that support the structure are going to be touching the glass for support, is that what you mean?

I just bought rocks for my 35 gallon tank, 25 pounds of it. What weight can a fish tank support before you'd need to place something under the rocks to even out the load?

Pond snails got into my tank a while ago from water lettuce I got from a friend's pond. My plants are really starting to die now so I should give this a shot!
