I am ready to start cycling a 65 gal tank and am wondering what type of filter to use. I have a Marine Land 360 Cannister filter (new) and am thinking of getting a new HOB Tidal 110. From all I have read the Tidal is very easy to operate and clean. a lot of good reviews. The canister will last...

Thank you.. I am still learning.

Have heard a lot about " Easy Green all in one fertilizer" I am new to the hobby also and will be trying it in the near future, American Co-Op sells it. Good luck

I am starting to stock a new cycled, planted 65 gal tank and am wondering if I should start by putting in 6 small Angel fish first and then slowly increase with Cory's , Cherry Barbs , Khuli Loaches and Amano shrimp. And possibly some Rasboras later. Or Should I wait and put the angels in...

I have just started a 65 gal tank and I am looking for advice . Has anyone had a good experience with mini ice cube trays . I will making repashy in them and all reviews I had read say that the cubes are very hard to remove. Can anyone recommend a brand that they use and have had good luck with .

I am starting a new 75 gal. set up and was wondering about this for filtration. Is 2 Aqua clear 110 filters too much ? Or should I go with 1 Aqua clear and a sponge filter. Will have some plants, angels , plecos and khuli loaches. The 110 is rated to pump 500 GPH. x 2 ?? Any input would...

I am just getting started setting up a 75 gal aquarium and I need help in deciding which substrate to use. My fish will be mainly Angels, BN Plecos and Kuhli Loaches. This will be a planted tank also. I have narrowed it down to sand or Black Diamond Grit . I have heard Black Diamond is too sharp...

I have had my pond for 9 years ( 10x14 ) and have blue herons around at times but they have never got to my koi. I use a triangle " Sun Screen " that I suspend over the pond from poles at each corner . The breeze keeps the screen moving up and down which in turns keeps the heron away. Also it...

I have had koi for 10 years and they are great to watch. My pond is 10' x 20' x 3' deep. I have only lost 1 koi to a blue heron. I keep a blue heron decoy on the edge of the pond and move it every 5-7 days. The big key is to put up a triangular canopy ( get off line ) over a portion of your...

Thanks : I will use active sponge filters for start up and regular for breeders , but for a show tank IMO they are a little unsightly.

I am in the process of setting up a 75 gal aquarium and was wondering about filtration for it. Would 2 HOB aqua clear 110 filters be too much filtration for this aquarium . Between both of them they will be filtering approximately 1000 GPH. The maintenance for the HOB filters is a lot easier...

Thanks for the info. I am going to try ammonia tomorrow morning as noted by King Fisher. But your remedy is next if needed. fingers crossed.

Thanks I will definitely try that . This is a major issue , but slowly coming along.

Thanks. I did try that but only 1 time. Hardly touched it. I will try a few more times and then clean entire tank with warm vinegar. Fingers crossed.

Hello: My name is Big Ron and I am a newbie to this forum. I recently bought a 75 gal tank that was set up for saltwater. I am now setting it up for freshwater, but the "haze " on the glass is bad. I am a fanatic about cleaning this off but I have found that nothing works so far. Have used--...
