Hi there! I've tried to do lots of research about good lighting for a tank, but my pea brain just can't seem to be able to wrap around the idea of what to purchase exactly. So I come to ask the experts! I have a 10 gallon running already. I have a mainland led strip light 234 Lumens, 120 Volts...

Hello everyone! I've been trying to do as much research on my own as possible before asking But I think it is time to ask some experts some questions! I've have a LED Marineland strip light on my 10 gallon tank for about 3 years now, it's been fine with plastic plants. BUT, My LFS started...

Does anyone know much about Odyssea CF 96 watt 67000k bulbs? About a year ago I purchased a 90 gallon tank off craigslist. The guy that sold it to me customized the hood/canopy with fans and a lighting fixture for a planted tank. The fixture is set up for Odyssea bulbs. As much as I try to...

Hello everyone! My fish broke out with a small case of ick recently. Then i think what is a fungal infection. & yesterday I noticed an angel had developed a hole in its gill plate which i haven't been able to find much information about onine.. But I've been treating them with high temperature...

My fish in my 60 gallon have ick at the moment. So I have been slowly raising the temperature and also adding aquarium salt. I did a 30% change 3 days ago. Today I was going to do a 50%. They are seemingly a little better today with some ick remaining. But I know I need to stay diligent to...

I bought a 90 gallon tank yesterday and it came with 2 of these fluorescent lights. I don't know anything about them. Are these good lights for a planted tank? would these also work for a reef set up? They look like they get hot. if i used them would they heat up my tank? I dont want to boil my...

Hello! I currently have a 60 gallon freshwater tank. I am running a marineland penguin 350 bio wheel. I believe the filter runs up to a 70 gallon tank? Anywho, I just bought a 90 gallon tank I don't know whether to buy another bio wheel filter, and have 2 filters running? or if I should buy a...

If you add ro water to tap water will the ph drop then slowly rise again? i dont want to create an unstable environment for my fish. I know messing with ph can really harm fish

just bought 5 gallons of ro water for my 60 gallon tank. i want to get my ph down a bit. but i know messing with the ph is worse for fish then having it high. since messing with the ph is so bad how much ro water should i add at a time to not kill my fish? my husband says all 5 gallons its 8% of...

Ive been researching and i cant find what this is.. I noticed it on my fish today. I just did a 50% water change a couple days ago.

Would multiple angel fish together in one tank be a good idea? it's a 60 gallon. I already have 2, which may, or may not be a mated pair. I've read online lots of different opinions. One said you shouldn't put too many angels together because they get aggressive toward each other (for mating...

I live in Antioch CA want to get rid of two angel fish who ave gotten too aggressive for my community tank because one of them have started laying eggs. I hate to see them go and would like to adopt them out to a good home. Please let me know if you are interested. & I have no idea how much to...

I have two angels. They just started laying eggs a couple weeks ago and now it's happening often. They have become rather aggressive toward other fish. When there are eggs they keep all the fish cornered on the opposite side of the tank. I wanted to put in a divider to keep the stress level...

Today my husband noticed my angel fish rubbing on the filter and showed me he saw eggs! YAY! :D I've never had any fish breed! Before i start i read it's best to post this 1. Tank size: 60 gallons 2. Temperature: 3. pH, GH: 4. Conditioning (or what you've been feeding): feeding them live...

I want a saltwater tank. Depending on what response you offer will vary when exactly though.. My biggest concern is, are nano tanks (in my case a 10 gallon tank) more difficult to have rather than a larger tank? and why?

my 60 gallon tank was once cycled but a few months ago put it back into a cycle by not seeding the new filter i got for the tank. it's still cycling so i went to go change the water (did a 50%) my fiancee suggested to clean out the filters. I originally said no because the tank was still...

Sooo yesterday I bought a new filter for my 60 gallon tank because I felt the one I had wasn't cutting it. The water was becoming very cloudy (white) so I rinsed out the filters & did a 50% water change(day before yesterday) hoping it would solve the issue. The next day my water was still...

I REALLY want to start a planted 10 gallon tank. BUT it's for my two bettas which are in a split tank. Would it be possible to have a healthy planted tank when filtration is not flowing through the entire tank??? (filtration is on one side of the tank at a time)

Right now I have a HOB 350 marineland penguin bio wheel for my 60 gallon freshwater tank. but I hear they aren't the best filters to have. Not that they're terrible but there's better? I'm not familiar with other filter types and how they work but if my fish aren't getting the best filtration I...

I just got a thank you from someone and its showing on my user cp that its my latest reputation received? Do we have reputations? Are they viewable for other people to see?

My honey sunset gourami has never had normal poops. I noticed through out its life its always been a stringy white instead of brown like my other fish. its about almost a year old. I do fasts with my tank once every other week but it never changed. just a couple days ago I noticed it stopped...

Looking to get rid of a HOB filter. It's brand new! 15 bucks. Usually its 23. Im stuck with it because I threw away the box and they dont return filters with out the box. Id like for local pick up only I live in Antioch (bay area) california

I bought these 2 frogs and for the the first couple days they seemed fine. I saw them eat some live worms that i put in the tank. but today I found one belly up and the other dying (he died a couple hours later) I haven't changed the water since I bought them but I did move some stuff around...

I don't know what it is... I like my tank, but I feel it needs something else to it. There's a lot in there, but It seems incomplete to me. What do you think? I'd love to get some opinions :fish2:

Should I be feeding worms to my fish daily? I don't know if it's healthy for them. or if worms should be a treat. Thanks.
