Fresh2o is right. Breaking up your light cycle helps! I've had anubias in high and low tech planted tanks, and my light cycles with all of those tanks have been on 6-10am and then again from 6-10pm. Algae isn't given a chance to really establish itself well enough to cause problems. I would...

They may flare up but mine have always figured out they can't actually get to each other and calmed down. I have also purchase black acrylic before that's aquarium safe and just used that as a divider Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

The reason most people keep discus by themselves is because of the temperature that they are kept at! No one is bashing you specifically. I can't stress enough that the point of this forum is to help people and in my opinion point things out in a polite manor. Not one person has said anything...

Salt or freshwater? Regardless you need an ammonia source... Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

I'm not trying to be rude, however the point of the forum is to help people. Your tank is overstocked as is, and only going to get worse I was just sharing that fact. The poster above said It perfectly. Unless you have the 90 gallon ready to go don't make your plan for discus. Stock that 40...

Especially as these discus grow, you are way overstocked. What is your temperature at? Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

It seems like you don't know all that much about them. I've kept them multiple times. As gillie said the only time they ever seemed stress it was due to water parameters, and once those got in check the discus color was fine. Again, as gillie said your discus look like they're very young, so as...

Thanks everyone for the help! Seaweed, thanks for bringing up the skimmer, and sniper much help as always! Thanks again everyone Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Ha, the skimmer makes loads of sense! Gese wish I woulda thought about that! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Yeah it's just 2x4 wrapped in ply which has 2 coats of paint on the inside and out. I just want to make sure it's something I can catch before it's too late lol Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

That makes me feel much better, I'm not running an auto top off on this system yet, so I got nervous... All my other systems have auto top offs and I routinely fill the reserve bucket up 2-3 times a month, so I don't notice the loss in the sump itself. My other question is, this is the first...

Hi all, I recently set up a 60 gallon rimless cube with a 10 gallon sump underneath. I have noticed that my water level inside the sump is dropping (more than expected) over the past 2 days.... Maybe about 1/4-1/2 inch or so..... I check everything and there is no leaks. I do have this in a...

100 percent accurate. Don't add anything else, or buy a much larger tank! Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

Here's the deal, first off the inch of fish per gallon rule is extremely out dated and in my opinion shouldn't be followed anymore. Next, you should have 1 goldfish for the first 20 gallons of water and 1 goldfish for each additional ten gallons after that. With that being said for your 8...

Personally I think it turned out awesome! I think you just have to place the proper corals higher up, or maybe not even place corals on the top shelves. Just because they're there doesn't mean they have to hold a coral! The only thing I would make sure is that the bridges are either glued...
