I currently have a 125 gal and a 25 gal tank running...the 25 gal has only Red Cherry Shrimp in it and a ton of snails. I want to transfer all the RCS to the 125 gal without taking any snails with it (since chemicals that kill snails also kill RCS). Then once the 25 gal is snail-free, go back...

Well I have finally got my tank back together after it popped apart and I am trying to figure out a dosing strategy. I have worked tirelessly online sifting through dosing advice and information and have just decided to post my questions here. Since I have 125 gal I want to avoid massive water...

I am about to purchase new lights from AH Supply (which has been extremely helpful) and I will be using the 4 X 96 watt setup for my 125gal. I am going to use 2 - 6700 K bulbs but I don't know what two other bulbs I should use them with: 2 - 5500K bulbs or 2 - 10,000K bulbs or 1 - 5500K and...

Well the one corner of my 125 decided to open and let about 3/4 of the water out ruining my light fixtures and stand (made of particle board) hence forcing me to redo a lot of stuff. I am looking for advise on whether to build a stand out of wood or metal. I would prefer wood and to follow...

When I was cleaning my tank yesterday I noticed that there were groups of very tiny bubbles on my driftwood but upon a closer look they were microorganisms that are swimming around my driftwood and tank. They are about the size of a pin head (or if you would take a pen and make a dot on a piece...

Ok so I admit that I messed up when setting up my 150gal i got last summer... when i was researching I made the mistake of taking the advise of someone which stated the WPG rule wasn't that important and that less could be used. Well that may be partially true but now I have one of two...

I have a 150 gal tank that I am going to install a CO2 injection system into with a 5 lb cylinder, a Milwaukee Regulator/solenoid/bubble counter (MA957), a Milwaukee pH controller (SMS122), an Aquamedic 1000 CO2 Reactor and a Maxi-Jet 1200 Powerhead for circulation (295gph). Is this power head...

I have a large tank that I recently filled up and only have driftwood, gravel, some rocks and plants in and there is black slime or some kind of black water mold growing on the wood in some places. It just sticks to the wood and when it is rubbed it floats around the water. If you try and take...

An aquarium book recommended using concrete pond sealant that is plant and animal safe to seal the driftwood so it doesn't rot. I haven't had much luck except for an epoxy sealer that is called Pond Shield. Unfortunately it is about $75 for 1.5 quarts which will be calling it close since my...
