It's been a while since I've been around. After downgrading to just 2 tanks, I'm looking forward to getting back going into the hobby. It's good to see some familiar faces :). Blue

I have attached a picture of my male sword tail. I've had him for about year and a half. He's eating fine and acting normal, I'm concerned because his scales have extended there growth over part of his tail. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm thinking it may be due to old age. Water...

I would like to add calcium (the same type that you add to reef tanks) to my planted tank that has snails in it. I see some etching of the snail shells and in the past I have had a problem with them being able to maintain there shells. I already have cc in the tank filter, and I do feed foods...

Ok, Ill start by saying that I do not have a sw tank, I hope to have one some day and I dont think you can ever start learning to far in advance. While reading someones thread about using tap water to start there sw tank, a thought occured to me. I do know enough about sw to know that there is...

I just purchased a fluvla 200 watt heater for one of my tanks. It is not a fully submergible, but was all the lfs had. While installing it, I accidentally dropped it in the tank, it was in less than a minute, however Im questioning how long I should let it dry out before plugging it in...

Ok, I was going to name this pressurized co2 set up for dummies, but.. :D I have been looking for a picture diagram of how my co2 system will fit together, ex: how the hoses attach, where the needle valve and check valve goes, etc. I also need to know what size tubing I should be using, what...

I'm looking for a simple fertilization schedule. Im seriously thinking about the estimative index, however Im unsure and a little confused on what I need to buy and exactly how the dosing with that works. Anyone have some advice on this?

Im going to finally take the plunge into pressurized co2 for my 75 g planted tank. As I understand it, the parts needed are co2 regulator, needle valve, check valve, tubing, tank, and the diffuser. I have the tubing and a regulator and I'm sure it won't be hard to find a tank. What type of...

Does anyone know how to go about pruning this plant?

I have a jack dempsey pair in a 55 g tank. Water parameters are ammonia-0, trites-0, and trates ~20. They have been together for several months now and are usually inseperable. Maybe the occasional nip. Today they are all out fighting, lip locking and all. The female is larger than the male and...

The fish reaper visited my house last night and took back with him my newest rope fish. This fish had a death wish. It's first attempted suicide was about 3 weeks ago when I found him on the floor almost dried up, I surmised that he had been out of the tank about an hour. I plopped him back...
