How deep should my substrate be. I plan on using eco-complete for my 29 gallon tank and need to know how much I should get. It will be densely planted if that matters.

Will 3 bolivian rams (1 male and 2 female) and 10 neon tetra be compatible in a 29 gallon tank?

I am setting up a 29 gallon tank and want to grow some dwarf hair grass in it to cover my substrate. Will this light be enough. I want to get the 24" double fixture. If it is not enough, could someone recommend a cheap open top alternative?

This is the coolest background I have ever seen! :shocked!:

This is a 10 gallon sump that I plan to build for my 29 gallon FW tank. What do you guys and gals think? Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Will a sump defeat the purpose of adding CO2 to a tank? I have heard that you don't want any surface movement when using CO2 to reduce the gas exchange.

My plan is to start cycling some water in my 10 gallon tank with a fluval 205 filter. The 10 gallon will be empty with some graval at the bottom. While the 10 gallon is cycling I am going to start setting up a 29 gallon tank (building the stand and canopy). When the cycle is complete I am going...

I've heard of a lot of people using computer fans to cool off their canopies. My question is, how do you plug the computer fans in?

I have a ten gallon tank that I would like to make a planted tank. The problem is, I just have the light that came with the tank kit. The light is an All-Glass Aquarium 20 inch fluorescent aquarium reflector (120 volt, 19 watt, 60 hz) with a 15 watt aquarium lamp bulb. I am assuming that this is...

As you may already know I have a 10 gallon tank. I have decided to take the divider out and go with only one male betta. Will neon tetras get along with the betta? I will have about 5 neon tetras and lots of plants and hiding spots. By the way, sorry if this question has already been asked, the...

Are bettas sold at a certain time of the year? Over the summer the Petsmart by me had a shelf full of the bettas in the cups and now they don't have any. Same with all the other pet stores in my area. I asked some of the employees, but they said they didn't know. I live in Northwest Ohio if that...

I have a 10 gallon tank that is divided in half with a piece of plexi-glass that I cut. I want to put a male betta on one side and a female betta on the other. I thought this plan sounded like a good idea until I read that bettas should be kept in seperate tanks. If they can see eachother they...

Does anybody have some good stocking list for a 75 gallon aquarium. I want some colorful cichlids that are in the easy to moderate range of care. I was researching some cichlids and it was making my head hurt trying to figure out which cichlids were compatible.

I was reading somewhere about In-line heaters that go in the output line of canister filters. Do these really exist? If so I would really like to get one so my tank has one less piece of "hardware" in it.

I have a 10 gallon tank and I am looking for a good HOB filter for it. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would prefer a quiet one because it is right next to my bed and I don't plan on using carbon. One more question, can I replace the filter medium with something else like the foam rings...

I would like to get a piece of driftwood from my tank to make my future neon tetras feel more at home. I read that they like "blackwater" so my question is, is there a certain kind of driftwood that will leach tanins and make my water a tea color or is it just luck of the draw? I also like the...

Here's my plan: I aquired a 10 gallon tank with hood/light for free. I've always wanted a fish tank for my night stand so I can watch fish before I fall a sleep (a big tank was never an option). I plan on painting the back of the tank black with spray paint and using black sand as my substrate...

Hey everyone, I am looking to start a small 10g aquarium for my night stand. I plan to put a school of tetras and some snails in it. I was doing some research and it says that tetras like planted tanks. I was wondering if it is ok to put a few Jungle Val in a 10 gallon tank. I know that they get...

I decided to try a little experiment at petsmart. I went in and walked around the fish section. I was asked by a lady if I needed any help, so I told her that I just got a 10 gallon tank and I was looking for some fish to put in it. I told her I wanted easy to care for fish that would fit in the...

What is the best spot for a submersible heater. I have read that they work best when placed at an angle. Should a heater be placed in calm water, right in the flow of water from a filter, top, bottom?

As the title says: lets see those canopies! post a picture of your aquariums canopy.

Can low light plants be kept in medium light? I will be getting jungle val and I have heard that they are low light plants. I have also heard that they are medium light plants. I will have medium lighting so can I keep jungle val?

Does anyone have this? Current USA Satellite 48" 2 x 65 Watt Power Compact-Single Strip W/2 Lunar Lights at Big Al's Online It was recommened to me by neurotik and I just wanted to get everyone else's opinion. Does it work? Does it last? I will be replacing the bulbs with Aquarium Lighting...

In a way we are kind of like mother nature to our fish. We control when the sun rises/sets (turning lights on/off), how hot/cold it gets (heater/chiller), when it rains (PWC), if the fish get to eat (feeding time), and what the environment looks like (plants/decorations). Just a crazy thought I...

Is a 3 foot tall stand to tall? the stand will be 4ft L x 13" W x 3ft H. Is this stand going to be to top heavy for a 55 gallon tank. The tank will be on a concrete floor.
