Hello I have an Aquaclear 75 on a 10 gallon tank. It is adjustable for 5-20 gallons. I am going to hurt anything by turning down to low just for an evening or two? I am thinking turning it down will lower the current and allow better access for my evening cleaning crew (snails and shrimp)...

I had my puffers for about a week. They were happy, healthy, and eating. Starting yesterday, one of the new puffers was acting very lethargic. Just sitting on a leaf and barely moving. Now all three are doing it. They are not reacting much to anything near them. Heard of this before...

So what do you get when you are an idiot, don't take a warning label seriously, a spot in your tank you want to fix, and a distraction? Answer; burned fingers, broken glass in your tank, and a shattered aquarium heater. I needed to move something in the tank so I took the heater out, set it...

Picking up some java moss, java fern, and banana plants today. Then I should be ready for fish and shrimp

Still having issues keeping the driftwood down, but it is better than it was.

Hey everyone. My 10g is going to have 2-3 dwarf puffers. Many people/websites say they will not bother adult RCS. Many people/wesbites say they will. So, I am going to try it with 1 or 2. If the RCS get eaten, oh well. Expensive snack and I will look at getting a couple Otos. If they...

Hey everyone My plants are going to be shipped to me late next week. Below are my specs. For some of the plants, I am going to be right at the edge of how much light they need. If I have to, I have room to double my light by adding another Satellite LED+ but I would rather not. So how do I...

Hello everyone. I got my driftwood to sink enough that it can be held down with river stones. In the next couple of days, it should stay down on its own. As soon as it does, I can bury the bubble lines and aquascape/add plants. Once that is ready, in goes the fish Specs; 10g Aquaclear...

I got in the last of my needed supplies to start my 10g tank. Put in the substrate. Put in the water. Got the filter, lights, and heater ready. Put in the seachem prime. Got the bubbles placed and going. Everything looks GREAT.... And then I tried to put in the driftwood. The driftwood I...

Hey What varieties of Ludwigia are people growing? I am looking for suggestions on a variety/cultivar that is easy to grow under low/medium lights and is shorter (12" max) Thanks

Hey Is anyone growing Najas Romaima? Thoughts on it? Where did you get it? Thanks Jeff

I have just about everything; filter, heater, substrate, air pump, light, and driftwood. I know how I am going to set up the tank. My first plants are coming Friday. My first fish the Friday after that or the week after. The only thing I don't have is the chemicals. My Seachem Prime is...

Hey everyone I am putting together a 10g tank now. But, looking to the future, I may wish to upgrade to a 50g (I already have the tank and stand, just not the space) For my 10g I already have a 13w 18-24" LED, a 50w heater, and an Aquaclear 20 filter. These are obviously not enough for a 50g...

Hello everyone I am going to be putting together a 10g planted tank soon. I have a lot of experience with house plants and gardening, but not as much with water plants. I have narrowed some plants down based mostly on appearance. However, I know less about their difficulty. Below is a list...

One more than I am done for a while. I promise After a talk with sinibotia I realized the lighting hood I was going to use was not powerful enough. He suggested a finnex stingray and I still may go that route. It is just on/off? Does it have a night setting? Does it have a timer? Etc...

First, let me say how helpful this forum has been. Back when I was into herpetology, feeding invertebrates you find in your garden to your pets was ok if 1/ you don't use and are not in an area that has a lot of pesticides, 2/ you provide whatever invertebrates you find with some time to...
