Hello everyone, 2 days ago my molly gave birth to 9 fry (I think). At first I was able to get 3 of the fry out and put them into a 5 gal tank with preexisting media. It became a hassle trying to get the other fry out so I left them in the main tank. (My main tank is a 30 gal tall with 3 female...

Id say go for it. I tested the water again today and I have no ammonia or Nitrites. Plus my Nitrate dropped to 5. I even added a few more fish yesterday.

Even though you guys have said that my plants wouldnt grow (and I also was skeptical), I have sat here a watched my Ambulia's grow a half inch today (not joking). The ambulias were crooked when I got them on saturday and now they are gorwing up towards the light. I swapped out my marine glo...

comments? questions?

15 watts. It is blueish. Would a power glo be any better? Or would I get similar results?

I have a 30 gallon tall tank. It's 24" wide and i currently have a 18" marine glo light. The tank is also 24" tall. Is this good enough lighting for java moss & ambulia? Also, what other plants could I have?

Hello all, My 55 gal tank just finished cycling after only 10 days. I would like to share with you how I accomplished this. I got my hand on old aquarium supplies. Everything I used for the aquarium was old and used. However, all of the equipment hadnt been used in months. The only new thing...

whats a big difference?

As some of you know I am currently setting up a 55 gal tank. Today I got my lava rock and added it into the tank. However, after i added the rock I checked to see if the tank was level, and its not! So my question is how do I make the tank level now that everything is in it?

I have added other seed material. I also added the Fritz Zyme (which is just like Bio Spira). The shrimp has a huge white cloud surrounding it. The rest of the water in the tank is crystal clear.

Hello, I recently started up a 55 gal tank. I started cycling it last week. I put in 1 shrimp and a bottle of Fritz Zyme #7. Here are my test results: - Ammonia = 1 - Nitrite = 1 - Nitrate = 10 The shrimp is still in the tank, although, it seems to be almost totally decayed. Is my tank...

what is a GBR?

Hello, My tank finally finished cycling this week due to the addition of Fritz Zyme #7. I am wondering how many more fish I should add and what kind. The bottom of the tank is only 24 inches, but the height is 30. Currently I have: - 3 female silver mollys - 1 black male molly - 2 male gold...

yea, everything you see in the 55 gallon pic. I have lava rock in there. I will be adding some more rocks once the cycling is done in order to provide more hiding places. The huge thing on the left is a plastic cave that the guy gave me with the $80 purchase

Here is a pic of my 30 gallon tall. It just finished cycling.... I am still not sure what fish to put in it. Right now there are a pair of mollies and a rainbow shark. And I just set-up this brand new 55 gallon. I got everything you see in the picture for only $80!!! I am going to set up a...

I have a liquid Test

Thanks guys. All results should of had PPM after them. As far as the ph being so high. I have live rock and crushed coral. I was told to add these things in order to increase pH. Also, I have started adding salt to the tank. I plan on making the tank brackish over the course of a couple months.

I got my hands on a 30 gallon (tall) aquarium at the beginning of the month. I started bought some fish and threw them in (didn't know about cycling). However, over the past few days I have been checking the tank readings and here is what they have been. 11/10 -pH = 8.0 -Ammonia = .50 -Nitrite...

Hey everyone, I have a 30 gallon (tall) tank that I am making into a cichlid tank. How many and what kind of cichlids should I get? Thanks -Sam

lol, i just did the same exact thing.......it really really really sucks!! What I did in the mean time was turn off my filter for 30 minutes at a time.....it made it so some of the debris could settle

Should you add cold water or luke warm water?

I just set up my aquarium and I want to start doing 25% water changes. However, how do I add such a large quantity of water? My tap water contains chlorine. I know that you can set water out, but I dont have any storage area big enough to keep the water out for a few hours for the chlorine to...
