I can't seem to keep up with degrading water quality. Can you help me figure out what's wrong? In a 180 gallon tank I have: - A partition - 2 Canisters SunSun HW-3000 (rated 793ghp each), such that there is flow across partition. In those I have polyester floss, medium-fine filter foam, and a...

more plants? Thanks for your replies. I will try more floating plants (and more tetras, eventually). As of now the hornwort all went to a maternity tank, but it will be back soon. The tank is heavily planted, but the plants are all pretty new in there and have yet to fill out and grow tall...

update, they swim around when the lights are off... I snuck up on the tank today when the tank and room lights were off and I took a "flash" photo on my phone... Lo and behold, the fish are all over the tank! I then turned the room (only) lights on and they all returned to the corner :D. I...

I have a 180g planted tank with some tetras that all seem to gravitate to one corner. Why, and how can I get them to swim around more? I reduced the amount of food and got a little more action, but still much the same behaviour as before. The tank is a couple of months old and the tetras have...

Nice tank. One thing I would say is that you have a number of schooling fish that would be happier with more conspecifics. Get more of the same danios, corys, etc. The fish will feel safer and act more naturally. I have a black background on my planted 180 gallon and I like it because I find...

Hi, I am filling a 180 gallon tank on a 300lb stand today, on the second floor of our house... The house is old so the tank leans about 0.2-0.3 degrees toward the centre of the room and front of the tank. I will continue to track the level as we fill it. My question is, how much is too much...

Thanks, I didn't know this.

I am helping my dad set up a 180 gallon freshwater tank, and I have ordered two sunsun hw-3000 canister filters for it, as well as some filter media bags. Those canisters have 5 trays and move just under 800gph each. We are leaning towards oscars or other cichlids, but have not decided on fish...

Hi, I joined the forum because I'm going to be helping my dad with his new 180g tank. My dad kept fish in a few tanks, from 20g to about 150g, when I was a kid. As I grew up he lost interest in keeping fish, and hasn't had any for over 15 years. I now live in my dad's basement with my spouse...
