Amongst my tanks is a 60g freshwater tank with 2 red spotted severum, a rio indiria severum, 2 EBJDs and 2 clown loaches. All water Paramus are fine - ph 7.4 (has always run this); ammonia, nitrates and nitrites all at 0. The larger EBJD hasn't eaten in a few days and is presenting signs of...

Currently I have a moderately planted high tech 55g. I keep discus (total of 6), along with some neon tetra, 2 GBR, and I'm growing out 3 clown loaches in there currently (temporarily). I am considering getting rid of my discus and trying something different. What do y'all enjoy keeping...

Am getting light brown algae beginning to cover rocks and leaves. I run co2 and dose flourish excel. I only feed 1x/day. Lights are on for 3 hours, the off for 4 hours, then on for 4 hours. Please advise.

Does anyone have experience with a switch going out on a dinner planted+ ? This light is roughly 6 months old and one of the switches went out. I'd rather swap it out then send it back or buy a new one.

Free the water change, my filter didn't kick back on, but my co2 did. My Cardinal tetras have died and my discus are gasping at the surface. I've already changed the water again. Should I do it again?

I have a few blyxa japonica in my tank. I am running pressurized co2 and I dose with flourish excel every 3 days (1 cap on a 55 gallon tank). I have 1 blyxa that is growing strangely. Seeking help or guidance or being told to be quiet because all is normal. Here's the pic.

I got a great deal on a full 20# lb cylinder, regulator, solenoid, tubing, and diffuser - the whole shebang. I didn't plan on going the co2 route yet, but I couldn't pass up the deal, so please excuse the ignorance. I would really appreciate it if someone(s) could answer a few questions. Do...

Just spent the morning completely redoing my discus tank. Changing the substrate is quite the task. Here's the new tank.

His will eventually be home for a few Severum and loaches. It's a work in progress. There will be more flagstone work and I want to figure out a way to put some color in the tank, but am hesitant to put any plants due to my severum.

Currently I am cycling a new 60 gallon tank for my wife's male golden severum. I was kicking around a few ideas for tank mates and am looking for some suggestions. Keep in mind that he is a very docile fish - he currently lives with some discus, some clown loaches, an EBJD, and a blue acara...

Currently I have a few low tech plants, and will likely keep it that way, but I have seen liquid co2 In the LFS. Would I see any positive result with my plants from that, or is it just snake oil?

An anyone ID this little guy?

Today I introduced a 2nd discus to my tank, thinking my solo discus wanted a buddy. The new discus a larger, but is getting bullied it appears. The little one that has been in the tank for. Little over a month will not leave the new one alone. He chases him and pecks him. Is this something...

Does anyone have any experience with these? I was about to walk out with flourish and I let the kid at the LFS talk me into Fluval's version. It's supposed to be dosed 1x/wk. I'm going on 3 weeks and I've seen zero improvement. Anyone have any insight?

I just acquired a Fluval 306 and a 406, the problem is, the background of my tank is black and the white intake stem and strainer look terrible. I not having any luck finding black parts to order. Does anyone know where I might find some?

I'm searching for advice on adding a filter to my aquarium that will eventually become my only filter. I have a HOB filter on my 55 gallon currently, but I just got a great deal on a Fluval 306 and a Fluval 406. They are used (for 3 months), but I couldn't pass up the offer. There is no...

Here's a shot of my 55 gallon about 3 weeks established. For now it's lightly planted, I intend on increasing the number of plants. It's running an Aqueon 55/75 HOB that I am still kicking myself for buying. I will be upgrading to a canister (most likely an eheim 2215, but open to...

Okay I noticed a brown algae with dark green hair forming on my filter. I'm wondering if I am lighting my aquarium too much.

Hello AA! I just stumbled across this forum tonight and wanted to introduce myself. I am back at it after a 15-20 year hiatus. While growing up we had 1-5 aquariums going at all times and kept every fish type from goldfish to tropical to African cichlids. We never delved into saltwater...
