cool thanks :) today is the last day of no filter, pimafix medication. finally can continue restocking this tank by tomorrow

any powerheads out there that aren't big clunkypieces of equipment? or at leasst small in size? better yet, shaped in the shapes of driftwood or rocks? :)

how about using an external canister filter? or does that still suck in water the same way? how well do they work btw? i'm not that faithful to my HOB so any suggestions is fine.

The water pouring in from the filter really dirturbs the plants in that region, also the suction tends to make the plants in the back stick to the suction opening. Any strategies to avoid this?

the tank is a few months old now, but about a month ago, i had to change most of the water due to neglect. and now that i have a job to fund this hobby, i started it up again. and yes i do have driftwood.. a couple pieces. is that really enough to affect a 29 gal tank? the two pieces might...

yeah it's a pretty ugly sight.. but what can you do to prefilter? like a fish net or something? eventually, i want to cover up the powerhead with rocks but that's hardly going to cover it from snails

cloud is excusively white. so i'm hoping this will pass after sometime? hopefulling after inserting a new filter cartridge?

i'm having the same problems. but i suppose it could be because I'm going through medication on my tank with PimaFix and i took out my filters during this time. Anyone know if it's the absence of filter or is it the pimafix that's causing this?

I bought two gold mysteries about a week ago. Unfrotunately, the shock hasn't treated them too well and they were pretty much dormant for the first couple of days. eventually, they both started roaming around the tank, one being obviously weaker than the other. eventually, the larger snail...

At first when i tested my pH, it turned out to be a devastating <5. so i wanted to increase the pH but i knew I didn't want it to swing back down, so I knew i had to do something about the KH. Calcium was a different thing in itself as I thought some calcium would do well for crustaceans...

I was thinking of buying some blue led lighting for the nighttime. i suppose it's not as useful as it is for saltwater. any insight on this?

question regarding snails. i've heard that you have to maintain calcium in the tank to keep their shells hard and healthy. is that true? anyone have methods of doing this? i bought some coral shell calcium from the drugstore (calcium carbonate) and i dunno what to do with it. i posted a...

interesting. slightly unrelated, i have been trying to read up on the affect of adding calcium carbonate and GH. Apparently, my alkilinity is really low and i'm trying to find a way to bring it up, at the same time, increase calcium levels. I've read somewhere about using baking soda in...

Hi, I have an indicator for GH by Hagen. But i don't have any instructions on how to use it. I think it's used for freshwater tanks as my friend gave me this since he owns a saltwater tank. anyone have an idea how to use this?
