    Java chatroom is killing my computer

    Whenever I try to open the chatroom (default or floating), my screen starts flashing, everything goes dead, I hear the chatroom say welcome, but my graphical memory is all shot (kind of like a failing NES game). I had to log out and back in again to my computer to reset the graphics. My specs...

    CO2 bragging

    I know, it's small of me, but I just can't help it. I received 2 co2 canisters and ladders from a friend, he said the pre-mixed packets from the company didn't last longer than a week, so he ended up dosing flourish excel as a source of carbon. Anyway, I mixed up some champagne yeast, sugar, and...

    neon mouth rot?

    imgur | underdog5004's Uploaded Images Go there to see the pictures of my neons. I think that a couple of them mouth rot; their mouths are misshapen. I've been rather irresponsible lately, last water change was a month and a half ago. I've just done a massive water change. Anyway, if anyone...

    Moving Advice?

    Hi all. I'm going to be moving this weekend across town, maybe 2 miles away. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone wants to give some moving advice to me? I have a 5G, 10G, 15G, 29G and 55G tank. I think I can just put the 5G in a garbage bag and carry it to my car, but what about the larger tanks...

    Spam

    There are some bots (or possibly people) spamming pretty much all the sub forums with ads for different things (DJ services, tech stuff). I'm trying to report all of them, but there's a 1 minute delay that I have to wait between reports.

    55G heavily planted tank

    So, I got a 55g tank. I have laid down a substrate consisting of equal parts large smooth gravel, florabase, and flourite. I have 2x40W T12 lights (came with the tank) over it. Will this be enough to grow a carpet of microsword, and later on, babys tears?

    NitrAte filter?

    DIY Sump

    Hey guys, I know this kind of thing has been done to death, but I just wanted to make sure that my design was acceptable. And, of course, many eyes makes design flaws shallow. I want to put a 10 or 15 gallon tank under my 55g tank to act as a sump, with an overflow box supplying water to the...

    betta with possible prolapse?

    I was feeding my fish today, and I noticed that my betta has a small pink ball between his pectoral fins, on the underside of his body. I am unable to take a pic right now, but I attached a crude drawing of the problem.

    otocinclus with yellow shrimp?

    So, I've got a 5.5G shrimp breeding tank. It's got some Christmas moss, anacharis, some weird spindly plant that came with the shrimp, etc... Unfortunately, I've got some brown-ish grunge building up on the sides of teh tank; I'm thinking it's diatoms, best guess. Here's my question: Can I put...

    Identification help?

    So, I got this piece of plant life from the LFS I work at. Problem is, I have no clue what it is. I think it might be anubias, but beyond that, I'm at a loss. I've got it wedged between a rock and some driftwood, since it's got a rhizome similar to java fern. Should it be planted in the...

    My 29G cichlid/tetra/gourami

    I've got a 29G FW tank and a 10G FW tank. 29G: Substrate: 3" layer of small natural-type gravel mixed with flourite, 2" layer of large natural-type gravel over that. Air Pump: Some adjustable-flow rate pump I bought at the salvation army for $2 (woo-hoo!) attached to a 2" airstone Filter...

    New-ish 29 gallon tank

    The LFS I work at had a killer deal (25% off tanks, hoods, stands) recently, so I bought a 29 gallon Aqueon kit. Obviously, you get what you pay for, since the heater is set to 68 degrees, but it's keeping the water at 79 degrees. Anyway, I've already cycled the tank with goldfish (I know, mean...

    Continuous water swap?

    So, I have a tank with plants in it which need nitrates, and a tank full of koi right next to it. Is it feasible to have a water pump in each tank, pumping water into the other? That way, the plants are fed, and the fishwater is kept clean. Ideas, suggestions?

    UGF for plants?

    So, here's the scoop. I'm an employee at a small LPS, and I service around 38 tanks (water changes, medications, etc). My boss has designated one of the tanks as my project tank, where I can do w/e I want. I'm going to go with a planted tank. It's a 20G tank with 20(?) watts of flourescent light...
