My tank has been cycled for about 2 weeks now and i plan on getting 2 smaller ocellaris clowns in about a week. Right now i have a small clean up crew... 9 hermits, 5 cerith snails and a skunk cleaner shrimp... I plan on getting another 1-2 cleaner shrimp and about 10 or so more snails along...

Ok, i have a 75 gallon tank right now and i want to set it up for a humu picasso triggerfish and a snowflake moray eel. I know any smaller fish and crustations would become food. i know it might be a small tank for these two fish, but i will probably upgrade when they get large. I have done...

I have a lightly planted tank with rainbow fish tanks, with a few other type of fish in it. I have some java moss, java ferns, and some cabomba that is not growing the best because i think i have insufficient light. I dose with excel and flourish potassium. i have a large piece of drift wood...

I have 6 boesmanis and 5 turquoise rainbows. the rainbows i have had for a while have really good coloration, almost as good as my LFS's display tank. anyways, i bought 3 more boesmanis because they were only $2.88(assorted rainbow tank sale.) They look healthy but their color is dull. I...

I was thinking of getting one of the aquapod 24/29 gallon tanks. It says they are all in one, so all you have to do is buy LR, sand and fish (I think i would replace the ph and add a heater). I noticed there was no skimmer on the unit and i am aware that they sell skimmers. I also heard all...

I am still a little ways off before converting my 75g into a marine tank. Im still trying to figure out which fish i want to get. I really want a blue tang (Palette Surgeonfish) but it says the min tank size is 70g at liveaquaria.com. Could this fish live comfortably in a 75g with a few other...

I bought some zucchini for my rainbows but they don't want to eat it. i read somewhere that zucchini is good for rainbows, but mine dont eat it. Are there any good ways to get fish to eat new foods? they peck at it when i put it in but then they dont touch or eat any of it.

I have a 75 gallon rainbow tank and i have some cloudy water and one of my biowheel filters is causing bubbles to form. The cloudiness is a white cloud, not green. What i have done: i did about a 1/3 PWC today: vac'ed and top skimmed with a large pitcher, took both filters and rinsed out the...

I have some drift wood that was used in a tank awhile ago sitting outside, and i want to put it back in the tank. What do i need to do to be able to put it back into a tank besides water logging it? should i just scrub it in water with a brush, or boiling water? or something else?

I have a 75 gallon fresh water tank with several rainbows and some Congo+Columbian tetras. I just bought some new lighting and have about 2wpg after a cf light correction. I bought some java ferns and plan on getting some species of vals. My nitrate levels are somewhere in the vicinity of...

I am currently running a 75g FW tank and i plan on converting it to a FOWLR tank when i move in a year or so. I am starting to figure out what i need so i can save up the money now. What i have: 75g tank with stand (i doubt it is reef ready) 2 HOB biowheels 1 300w heater 1 200w heater glass...

I have had FW tanks for years, i currently have a 75g rainbow fish tank that i want to convert to SW in a year and a half when i move... in the mean time i wanted to start out with something to get experience with SW tanks. I figure its cheaper if something goes wrong in a 12-20g tank compared...

Hello, nice to meet everyone... Here are some pics of my tank/fishes. i dont know how to take good pics of aquariums but you'll get the idea. For some reason my rainbows dont look as good in pictures. Not as colorful at the moment, maybe they will be closer to feeding time. Here they are...

ok, i just finished the 4 basic test on my 75 gallon FW tank... pH 7.0-7.2 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 nitrate ? 20-80? The test i had for nitrate goes from yellow to red, but the color of 20ppm, 40ppm and 80ppm all seem about the same... so i kinda think my tank is somewhere between 20-40ppm. It...
