After my DIY CO2 didn't work on my 3.5 gallon i decided I need to go pressurized. I would like to use a paintball tank for two reasons though, the tank is in a tight spot with little free room, and I already have one. about the only thing I found was this: Single CO2 Controller for Paint Ball...

I was wondering if anyone had a good, relatively inexpensive lighting suggestion for a 3 gal. shrimp tank. I asked a little while ago with no replies, and thought I would try again. I am going to be trying for a HC carpet and a taller background plant. If it's something unconventional, then...

I recently found a deal I couldn't resist for a new 75 gal tank and fluval 405. I currently have it stocked with a pair of juruparis, a red-spot gold severum, a school of six julli corries and a couple rhombo barbs (I wanted a SA biotope, but the girlfriend wouldn't say no to the barbs). The...

Even though I just splurged on a new 75 gal, I couldn't pass this up. Meijers (a store kind of like walmart for those not from the area) started selling their own brand of 3 and 5 gal. nice rimless tanks for $25-$30 with a small internal filter. I'd like to make one of those nice heavily planted...

I decided to get some dry ferts, as per recommended by people on this forum, and found some KNO3, K2SO4, and KH2PO4 at a LFS for pretty cheap. I don't have a gram scale, but i think I got pretty close with my estimations using a teaspoons conversion with a web program called fertilator. I have...

How bad is inbreeding for the fish? I have a multi tank that started off with only 1 male and one female, and its starting up the third generation. should I look for some "new blood", or will they be OK?

Hey everyone I was wondering if you guys could give me a guess as to what plant is pictured. I think the plants behind it are anacharis, but I'm unsure on those too. I also had a question about dry ferts. Would it be necessary to dose N, P, and K in my tank? I have 2 T5 (non-HO) fixtures with 2...

Hey guys, I just got an upgrade on tanks and lights. I went from a 29 gal and a coralife t5 to a 40 breeder with 2 coralife t5's. I got some Eco complete and a bunch of new plants, and the tank looks great, but was missing a foreground plant. I found some micro swords for a fantastic deal ($1.50...

It looks like I'm going to have a tank that exclusivley has plants for a while, until i get some lights that fit across my new tank. my question is, do I need a heater in this tank? its pretty cold here, being middle of winter at all, but i don't know if the plants really care about that...

I recently got a CO2 diffuser that is pretty much the same thing as this: http://www.myfishtank.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/c02diffuser.jpg it didn't have any directions or anything, so I hooked it up to my DIY system and put it in the tank. The gas goes up into the diffuser, but then...

I have a pair of german blue rams that have been spawning every month or so in my community tank. The only problem is that they aren't very good at keeping the other fish away, and the eggs or fry are always all eaten by the first week. What I was thinking of doing was making some kind of...

I got a group of otos from that sale at petsmart One has an eye that is really bulged out. He doesn't seem to move a whole lot either. Is there anything I can, or should do about this? Should I keep him quarantined away from the rest of them?

My multis just had some baby's, which is really cool. Do I need to do anything different for them?

I have a leaky 29 gal. I've tried to seal it before, following all the instructions I could find (removing old silicone, cleaning, and re-applying). But it has never worked. looking at it again, it seems that I may have broken a seal between the two peices of glass, which all the instructions...

I've had a small multi tank for about 2 months, and its started to get a really bad outbreak of diatom algea, and well as a bunch of green algae that looks like the diatom algae, except in color. I've heard that you can't really put otos in with them, because of aggression, but what else can you...

Does anyone know of a relatively inexpensive T5 HO lighting for a 29 gal planted tank? The stock light just isn't cutting it, even for plants that are supposed to have very low light requirements thanks!

I have a banded rainbow fish, a giant danio, as well as 6 other fish. they have all been in the tank for a couple years, and have been perfectly fine, until about a week ago. The rainbow fish has been chasing the danio around the tank non-stop. it looks pretty vicious, even though the danios...

Have any of you guys used them before? Buying fish through the mail seems kind of weird, but i don't have many good local fish stores around here, and was considering it.

Are there any commonly available cichlids that can be kept in a 10 gallon tank? Maybe only one or two

I'm making a sump out of an old 10 gal. tank i have sitting around for my 30 gallon freshwater tank. I was wondering what type of pump to look for, in terms of gph. How much will be enough? Also, I'm looking to upgrade to a 75 or so gallon tank shortly. Could I use that sump, with the same...

Hi everyone, I would like to try to turn an unused 10 gal. aquarium I have into a small saltwater tank. I've looked into it, and heard it's difficult, but I think I'm up to the task. I've only had freshwater tanks before, and I don't know what all I'll need to make it saltwater. I'd like to have...
