So I picked up a 180 VIV rimless tank recently but it had a few cracks and I added my own bigger one on the bottom (pictures below). My idea was to flip the major damaged panel 180 to get the bigger chip on the top and have the minor chip on the bottom. Looking at how the chip is, I would...

So I finally figured out what is causing my white cloudy water issue, and its my lights. Backstory- Setup a 90gal tank back in november, in feb my water was still cloudy and everyone thought it was still cycling. I upgraded to a Fluval FX4 in Feb and followed the cycling process. The water...

So as an update i just left the tank since the post and added more sponge that the website suggested. The cloudy water got terrible before it got better, so bad you couldn't see 6 inches into it. I turned off the lights and just let it do it's thing. About a week ago it got super clear and i...

My tank is 24" deep and you can see my Lily's are from bottom to top. And they have put out other bulbs and they are doing great as well

PH is 7.6 most of the time. Fishwonders link is good information and you should look at it. I do wish their tests were a bit better documented about setup, testing, and then results. Most of it is short on setup and then just goes over results. More pictures wouldve been great too.

Interesting read and this is the only article that I've seen that states the filter should run 3 months to clean up the bloom. I have plenty of "brown gunk" in the filter as is but with plenty of room for more. So it's possible i would just let it be in auto pilot longer and not do sponge rinses...

Hey guys, I recently (end of November) moved my 40gal contents over to a 90 gal tank. Since then I haven't been able to get clear water in the tank and wanted to see what you all thought. Its white cloudy which I thought mightve been a bacterial bloom but its 3 months later and hasnt gotten...

It will hold it just fine. The top platform will distribute the weight of the tank along the stand.

If you want something a bit more interesting imo get some rasboras. You could do 3-4 galaxy rasboras or about 4-5 phoenix rasboras

The fact that he is that old and has been in a 3gal is the saddest thing ive read in a long time. But it is a decent sign that you at least stay on top of water changes. Please upgrade that tank as soon as possible and research how to properly care for your fish. That fish needs a min of 20gal...

I have bosemani rainbow fish in with their juveniles (not fry) and some galaxy rasboras, no issues whatsoever on aggression or stress. Biggest thing to remember is to keep peaceful fish with other peaceful fish Also if you go bigger fish make sure they are either 5x the size so they dont see...

Try more tetras, also get some cover for them to hide from the light. Overhangs or floating plants. Seems like the lights are just stressing them out and its not the flow. With such a large tank you could fill it with more tetras so they feel safer exploring.

Thanks for you input. Ill ask the people over on planted tank and see what they think.

Hey guys, I just recently upgraded to a 90gal tank from my 40br and am looking at going semi-hightech. I already do CO2, ferts, and have two 36' beamswork FSPECs. The beamsworks are 36in and so they dont fit perfectly and are an eye sore. I want to upgrade lighting but I dont want to break the...

Do you have a TDS meter? I use saltyshrimp and have never had an issue with ammonia changing. Use a TDS meter and slowly add saltyshrimp into the tank until you get right under the desired TDS for the type of shrimp you have- neos are normally 150-200 (i keep mine around 200). Im wondering...

My SO has a pacman frog and keeping a culture of isopods for cleanup and feeding would be great. How fast do they reproduce?

Its hard to pinpoint the exact reason but with such a small tank it could be stress and water conditions. Cory's should be kept in groups of six with no smaller of a 20gal tank. Sure you water conditions are fine right now but with such a small tank parameters can change almost instantly and...

What you think is good? We need to know the numbers and the size of the tank. Use a liquid tester. Even judging by how clean the substrate is in the picture screams a new tank or an overly clean tank. In order for us to help you we need you to help us. You're going to lose that Cory too or he...

Youre less than 650lbs with a full setup like that. Put it against a supporting wall (like an outer wall) and youll be perfectly fine. If you dont think your upstairs floor can support 650lbs then you must live in a very questionable home. Think about this. A King size bed with frame would...

Buy API General Cure and try that. It helps with a lot of fungus growths and is available at at most pet stores.

How long has the tank been cycled? What are the water parameters?

Sounds a bit like he's trying to spawn.
