I plan on setting up a 30 FOWLR tank early in 2017 and want to do it primarily as a diy project. I was looking into live rock on these forums and others and have a good understanding of the process. My only question is what kinds of aggregate can I use for making it? So far I've read...

I've been having problems keeping pygmy corys (C. Habrosus). Every time I get them from a LFS, a few die. This last time all four that I got died and two that I've had for 3-4 months also died of what appears to be the same thing. They go into a 10 gallon planted tank (been up for about a year...

So I've been cycling a 55 with ammonia, it just finished processing the 4 ppm test in 36 hours, instead of 24. I'm going to be putting two 1.5 inch goldfish in there I think it's cycled enough to be okay for them. Thoughts? Also the filters were seeded by rubbing dirty filter pads on the new...

So I just got a complete setup for$160! Light, filters, stand, decor, rocks and gravel! I'm going to cycle it then move my goldfish over. My question however is about cleaning the rocks and hood. The glass on the hood is covered in what I'm assuming is calcium deposits, and the rocks have...

Hey guys, so I have a diy co2 system with yeast, the other day I decided to try to make the system a little bit more intricate and bought a simple needle valve for it, the idea being that I close off the system, let it build pressure, release this pressure over the course of the day, then close...

So I recently bought a 10 gallon tank at one of the $/gallon sales. I want to set it up for a betta and some RCS so I want it planted. I am envisioning a java moss carpet with some large rocks, amazon swords, and maybe some java fern or anubis. Currently I have bought nothing for the tank but...

So I started setting up my tank over a month ago and its finally done! It consists of a 20g aquarium with two comet goldfish (a tad small I know), a 1.3 cb ft grow bed, and a small 7.5g trash can I'm using as a makeshift sump. Currently I have an amazon sword, banana plant, and java fern in...

Hey guys, I just finished setting up a 20g tank and put two comets in it. It's my first tank and I realize the tank is a tad small for comets but they are about an inch long and I'm primarily focusing on keeping them alive. If I need to buy a bigger tank in a few months it will be a good problem...

Hey guys I was also thinking about setting up a betta tank. I wanted to make my first aquarium and put one of those cool little guys in there but I don't know if the dimensions would be a problem for them. It would be 36"long by 8" deep and 8" tall. Obviously the height is a bit low but I want...

Hey guys! I've been setting up a small 20g tank for the last month, getting it ready for fish using a fishless cycle. Saturday morning (7/4) I checked my ammonia and nitrite both were zero and added some ammonia to get to the 3-4ppm range (which I verified with an API test kit). This morning I...
