I recently set up a 80 gallon goldfish tank at my work and I decided to just add some extra ammo chips we had laying around into the filter to help keep the ammonia from spiking ( I also seeded the filter with bacteria from an established tank). Strangely enough, it's been about 2 weeks with...

My 55g looks pretty dark with the regular fluorecent lighting. The lights are at least a year old and they're only 18" not 24". Do you guys think changing out the bulbs for newer ones would brighten up the tank much? Thanks

Okay so it's my understanding that in order to use a sump there is 2 main ways to get the water down into it: 1) An overflow that operates by a siphon. 2) Having a hole drilled in the side of your tank so the water just falls into the sump by gravity. An overflow sounds like a bad idea to me...

YouTube - ‪Vortech pumps push a large gyre in a 1200 stony coral reef‬‏ the first 15 seconds are just slides then the actual video starts. anybody else have any videos you wanna share?

I see these anemones at the beach all the time and was just curious if anyone knows what they're called?

I heard somewhere that the harder your tap water is, the more often you'll have to change your filters. Since the tap water where I live is like liquid rock, I'm a little apprehensive about getting an ro system. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks

I have 15 mbunas in my standard 55g. 5 yellows, 5 rustys, 5 socolofi. Most of them are still under 3". Out of all of these fish, only 2 socolofis have claimed territory. I was thinking that since those 2 are so much more aggressive than all the other fish in the tank they are probably males...

Okay so I finally upgraded my tank to a 55g (the tanks beautiful wish I had a camera) and right now I only have 2, 3" female yellow labs. I'm going to be getting a total of 5 yellow labs, 5 rustys, and 5 socolofi. My problem is that the LFS only sells these fish at around 1.5-2". I was...

Quick Question Think 5 male johanni, 5 yellow labs, and 5 rustys will work in a regular 55g? My LFS only has male johanni. Just worried about them being too aggressive? I really want some blue mbuna to go with rustys and yellow labs but I'm having a hard time finding any. Socolofi might...

72 gallon fish tank I almost had it.... I was so close. :(

So after my last thread I've been busy researching what I want to put in my future tank. The tank is probably going to be a 60g that is both longer and wider than the standard 55. This is what I came up with: Stocking List 3 Yellow Labs 3 Rusty Cichlids 3 Acei 1 Demasoni The first 3 species...

Before You Tell Me Yes, I'm going to upgrade the tank to a 55g in a few months ;) Question So the tank is a HEX. with dimensions 18x18x18x 24-high. As of right now it only has 2 electric yellows about 2.5" each. Lately I've noticed a little more aggression than usual and I was considering...

Just saw this video and thought I would share. Looks simple enough. YouTube - How to clean new aquariumsand the easy way.

I have two 48" T5's on a 55g and I'm curious as to what lighting category this puts me in? I saw one chart that says this is high lighting, but I'm not sure as its only a little over 100 watts and the tank is so tall..

So one of the systems at my work is being treated for ich. The temperature for this system is 86 degrees and has had no visible ich for a little over a week. Tomorrow we get a new shipment of fish in and many of them are supposed to go into this system. The only way we can acclimate these fish...

It's going to be a planted community tank and I can put pretty much whatever fish I want in there. Right now I'm thinking: -One big school of glow light tetras -5 yellow platies -5 red platies -1 albino bristlenose pleco -5 corys -1 bright blue betta What do you think? What what you do?

So my store routinely orders like 5 or 6 clownfish every couple of weeks. I was wondering how you guys would keep them? Would you guys keep them all together, in pairs, or in individual tanks? Up until now we've kept them all together but there always seems to be some aggression so I was...

I run into weird questions all the time, so I figure I'm going to start posting the ones I can't figure out online for you guys. So ya this question isn't really for me, it's from someone who was asking me earlier today. This guy has gone through his now 4th submersible glass heater and can't...

So I may have messed up and put copper in a tank that already had LR in it. My question is this: about how much of the copper will the LR absorb and how is this going to affect the efficiency of the copper treatment? I've already accepted that this will never be a reef tank and that's fine with...

There is a medication called clout that claims to remove ich in 24 hours? Does this sound realistic at all and does anyone have any experience with this medication?

Hey folks, I recently got a job at petco as the aquatics specialist (woo). When I first got there I found that my store had one of the highest death rates of all the stores in this division (because no one in this store knew what they were doing) so for the first two weeks all I've been trying...

Hey folks, I recently got a job at petco as the aquatics specialist (woo). I have about 2 1/2 years experience working with freshwater fish and feel pretty knowledgeable in that regard but I am completely new to marine tanks. When I first got there I found that my store had one of the highest...

Okay so my aquarium is a 30 gallon hex. Right now I have 6 neons and one dwarf gourami! I was thinking about getting 2 female bettas because I heard the females are good community fish. Do you think it will work or will my gourami go crazy? I have seen him jump at the tetras once or twice but it...
