I have a Tetra Whisper PF 30 and PF 40. They use the same size impeller. I am trying to source some cheap replacement impellers as they get noisy over time. The problem is, online, they are labeled in anything but comprehensive ways and can't tell which fits what. I've noticed they are color...

I have a standard 20 gallon tank with low light plants, just some crypts. I'd like to give them a boost in growth so naturally that means better lighting. I am currently using an Aqueon light fixture with a generic T8 full spectrum light bulb, 15w. There aren't any larger light bulbs. What...

Pruned my tank on a whim today, AGAIN, and now I have a bunch of crypts I need to get rid of. Since the plants are free floating I need to give these away asap. If you're in Lincoln NE and would like some crypts, let me know. These are the wendtii variety, both green and bronze.

I realize I'm pushing it off-topic here :) I'll try to keep this short and sweet because I have a tendency to write on and on and on. I kinda want to try something new and expand my experience and knowledge. I love fiddler and red claw crabs so naturally hermits would be the next best thing :) I...

Here are some details: Tank - 10 gallons Substrate - Eco complete Lighting: 10w, 8 hours a day from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. The tank is next to a window [not in front] and there is a curtain in between so direct light is at a minimum, if any Plants - java fern, java moss and a bunch of crypts, some...

Alright, so I have a 10 gallon tank inhabited by: -6 neon tetra -1 dwarf gourami -8 ghost shrimp -2 bamboo shrimp -some physa and ramshorn snails -a ton of MTS which I don't have it in me to start killing off. Will give away for free in spring, since now it's cold and too late :cry: For...

I've got some stuff laying around that I kinda want to get rid of. No idea what to even ask, make an offer or I guess I'm looking to get snails or shrimp, anything EXCEPT: -ghost or bamboo shrimp -malaysian trumpet snails or large snails or ones that would eat my plants Probably work out best...

I'd like some physa snails and/or ramshorn snails if anyone has some to give away. I'd rather have medium to large size ones than small, I'm just affraid they might not survive shipping and acclimating? PM me if you have any, we can figure out price, shipping, all that good stuff. Thanks everyone!

Our 6k gallon outdoor pond seems to be overpopulated, my dad and I decided to start giving away some of our koi. The ones we're giving away are roughly 2 years old, between 2 and 4 inches in length. They are mostly bright orange with some that are red, black or white spotted. We live out in...

I'm looking at substrates such as Flourite, Eco Complete and fertilizers such as Flourish, but since these all contain trace elements such as iron, are they safe for invertebrates such as shrimp and snails in an aquarium? I've got malaysian trumpet snails, a couple of bamboo shrimp and some...

10g planted tank 6 neon tetras 1 dwarf gourami 1 ghost shrimp 2 bamboo shrimp 2 small turbo[?] snails a bunch of MTS All plants are low-light plants, crypts, banana plants, anacharis. Anywhoo, I set-up a DIY CO2 yeast generator but the first mixture didn't turn out quite well and was kinda...

I know this must have been discussed a million times over, forgive me. I searched the forums, also searched the net but am out of ideas. I have a 10g planted tank with a DIY CO2 system. I use a 1 gallon jug instead of the 2l bottle. The trouble is trying to figure out a method of good CO2...

Looking to get a 20 gallon tank but not willing to pay 40 bucks for a new one as PetCo/PetSmart wants, that' highway robbery. Let me know if you have an extra in good condition!

I'm on a roll today with the questions :D 75g palludarium, half sand, half filled with water to about 6 inches, meaning roughly 10 gallons. This palludarium houses a colony of 8 crabs. I've got some acute evaporation issues and there's not a thing I can do about it. The ambient temperature in...

Last winter when I didn't have any of my aquariums so this was hardly a concern, we were out of power one day for almost 20 hours. It also happened on several occasions that power went out for 3 or 4 hours at a time. Of course, now having fish, the situation is very different. I have the...

Does anyone know or use a good, inexpensive pond vacuum? How about this one? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=5565&N=62728+113173 Anyone use it? My only concern is my hose PSI. I have no idea what it is but I do know it pumps out about 10 to 12 gallons a minute

I hope I'm posting in the right section. It's not a disease, at least don't think so. Tonight I had my second fiddler crab female fatality. First one died about a month ago, but that was an understandable loss. She was very tiny and has gone through some rough times, lost a pincher and almost...

I've always wondered about this but was always affraid to ask :) What's the relationship between GPH and tank size? This question popped in my mind because I've been looking for a small filter for my 5.5g aquarium. I've been looking at filters that are supposebly designed for aquariums UP TO 3...

This morning I woke up to a 5.5g brackish full of what looks like crabs in their initial planktonic phase. There's thousand of them floating and swimming around, little brown-black dots. I house one single female red claw crab in there because she's not getting along with my fiddlers. She tore...

Live Aquaria was the only reputable place that I found some for cheap but they are out of stock. Anyone happen to have some extra mangroves? I'm looking for some to go into my invert brackish with a specific gravity between 1.005 and 1.008

I've got some plants that I've potted and am actually keeping in the outdoor pond over the summer. I've re-potted them yesterday afternoon and this morning the pots had a bunch of green string algae on them. They've been in the pond for about 2 months now and have grown new roots, new leaves so...

I've had a pair of bamboo shrimp in my 10g planted for 2 months now and I'm looking to make their existence more comfortable. The planted tank houses 6 neon tetras, 2 fancy guppies, a handful of ghost shrimp and a load of mts. The trouble is, my bamboo shrimp don't seem to be getting enough...

I have a femal red claw crab which has been with me for 4 months now. She's very healthy, had always been kept in a brackish set-up with land access. I have to part with her because after setting up my new crabitat it turns out she doesn't play well with others of her own species, she's pretty...

Yeah I know, whoa! Here's the short of it. I have a 75g dry tank that I'm setting up as a crabitat. I divided it in half, half will be water half will be land. The water side is 22 inches long, 17 wide and 6 inches tall. It holds 9-10 gallons of water. Ambient temperature in the room is 66-68...
