Hi. I discovered a few days ago that my 36g bowfront had a crack in the front. Yesterday the crack was worse and had in fact gone sideways. I bought a 75g and a fluval 406 Canister filter last night. My questions: will moving the filter media from my fluval 70 hob to the new 406 canister, and...

I had to recently replace my Fluval Aquaclear 70 with a new one. I put 2 of the old media and one new media in the new filter. Now my water is cloudy. Ammonia is 0, Nitrites are 0, but Nitrates are in between 20 and 40 according to the API color chart I have. I use the master kit with drops...

Will cleaning the carpet right in front of my 36 g freshwater tank be harmful to my fish? I have a regular store bought carpet cleaner and was planning on using Resolve cleaner in it. The only warning on the label is to not drink it or get in the eyes. My tank is about 3 feet above the carpet...

I have a 36 g bowfront, non planted, fully cycled freshwater aquarium. I have 12 Golden Cloud Minnows, 6 Zebra Danios, and 4 UDC's. I have had the aquarium for a little over 6 months. I have never used a heater because my tap and RO water have kept the tank between 72-74f. My concern is that...

I am thinking about changing my Aqueon 50 HOB filter to an AquaClear HOB because I read they were better and kept the water clearer. I am wondering which AquaClear is better..... the one rated for up to 50g that cycles 200GPH, or the one rated for up to 70g that cycles 300GPH. I have a 36g...

I have an Aqueon HOB Power Filter 50. There is quite a bit of grayish, pinkish stuff on my biological grid. I assume this is the "good bacteria" growing like it is supposed to. However, my nitrate levels have gone up recently. Ammonia and Nitrite both at 0. My question is can I or should I wash...

A friend of mine has a female molly that just gave birth. She was able to rescue about 2 dozen of the fry from the parents and other fish. How many babies to mollies usually have? Once they start to have the babies, how long does before all the fry are expelled? And finally, how often do they...

I have a 36 gallon bowfront freshwater aquarium with 4 Upside Down Catfish, 6 Zebra Danios, and 5 Golden Cloud Minnows. The tank is fully cycled, does not contain live plants, and has an Aqueon Quiet Flow 50 filter. Would adding 2 more Zebra Danios, and 2 or 3 more Golden Cloud Minnows...

I am ready to thoroughly clean my tank for the first time. I have a couple of questions as I am new to the aquarium world. I plan on taking water from my tank and putting it and my fish into my old tank while I clean the first one. I am not sure how much water I should remove from the one I am...

Small white, opaque dots have recently appeared on my aquarium glass. They are fuzzy looking and wipe off easily. My fish are fine and so far none of it is growing on my plants. Is there such a thing as white algae? I cleaned the glass once, but it appears to be growing back. My UDC's have been...
