    Family Fun Biocube 29g

    I have been doing freshwater planted tanks for about 5 years while living in PR and have gotten out of the hobby after moving to South Dakota. I agreed with my girlfriend the first tank will be a SW so she can have Nemo go figure. Now with my first son 3 months away I have finally gone full...

    Algae Bloom

    So I just came from vacation and saw I closed my co2 tank by mistake and had a huge algae bloom in my tank. I believe it's hair algae I'm posting here before I proceed with any treatment. I fed my fish once before I left and did a 80% water change before I left. The parameters are the usual...

Although I thought it was strange my head hurt so much I...

    Aquariums in the restaurants

    So after work I decided to go to my favorite sushi place to eat and I know they always had a tank but since I consider myself new to the hobby it never really caught my eye and tonight I finally cycled it out and they had a decent t5ho light setup for a 55g or at least the live rock look...

    Blue Veil Rams

    So my wife for the first time chose a fish which were these from our lfs. Since im pushing for my 4 and 5th tanks I figured this was a good way to loosen her up. I looked them up in the store and they are pretty much the same as blue rams but I couldn't find a specific profile on them. I read...

    Rescaping

    I was planning on rescaping my 55g today and was wondering would it be ok to move the crypts around as long as they stay in the same tank. I'd expect a little crypt melt but I would assume not to bad.

    Java fern

    I was wondering if it was ok to attach java fern to some arts and crafts mesh and just place it down on the substrate. Just wanted to make it a forest effect and as it reproduces I can just lift more of the mesh out of the sand and add on to it.

    New shrimp tank

    So after a bit of negotiating with my wife she finally let me start my shrimp tank it's a 10g but it was like pulling teeth with her lol.
