Ok so I had these tanks years ago, basically I got divorced and when the fish died, my ex husband drained the tanks and they have been sitting for 5 years (very nasty all the substrate and decor is still there lol) So I want to clean them up, buy some new filters, and start over. But what to do...

Well after almost 2 years I have once again returned to the aquarium world. Basically my ex and I broke up and I let him take the tanks because I knew I would move a couple times. Now he is moving and doesnt want them anymore. I got my 20 gal back (planted with a dwarf puffer, 2 red eye tetras...

Ok I've put up with it too long, I have hair algae and I want it to go away. I did a 3 day blackout and it didn't help. My tank has a lot of plants. I have high output lighting. I have root tab fertilizers and use the flourish liquid with every water change (50% change once a week). Its the 20...

Ok I have a 56 gal with 2 yellow labs. I also want Demasonis. How many of each should I get, and are they compatible with any other types of fish or animals? Its ok if they aren't, I was just curious.

Here is my 56 gal cichlid tank, Right now there are just 2 Yellow Labs, soon more fish to come. They love the camera, they come right to the glass to have pics made. And this is the 6 gal saltwater, it has 3 snails and some live rock. The snails are super cool, they stay in the sand...

What is the best way to keep live food? I was thinking a 1 to 3 gal cheap tank. This would be for my Dwarf Puffers. I feed them frozen bloodworms or frozen brine shrimp. I think live would be better for them and possibly cheaper in the long run for me. And also a dumb question... my boyfriend...

Got my 56 gal tank, decided on African Cichlids. I wanted something pretty and colorful (kinda with a saltwater look, I have sand in the tank, waiting for it to settle then start cycling) anyway what kind? How many? What else can I put in it if anything? Help is appreciated, I have plenty of...

Well I had a 3 gal picotype nano with some live rock... And I accidentally slipped and knocked it off the table last night and broke it!!! Cried my eyes out, saved the rock (I hope!) and got a new tank. This one is a 5 gal and much nicer. I salvaged some of the old sand but got some new sand...

I finally have my dwarf puffers!!! So excited!!! I've had the tank cycled forever now and been waiting on the LFS to get a shipment of them in. I've had 4 otos and 4 ghost shrimp. The puffers are still getting used to the tank, they travel in a gang. I would get pics but they keep moving around.

So, Petsmart had a sale on a 56 gal with stand, and I couldn't pass up. Haven't picked up the tank yet. But I also hadn't planned on getting a big tank anytime soon (yes 56 is big for me, I have a 20 gal freshwater and a 3 gal nano reef) so I haven't planned on any fish for it! I don't even...

I have the Aquarium Pharmaceuticals Freshwater Master Test kit. I notice there is a saltwater one as well, but they test for the exact same things. Can I use it for my saltwater tank? (it a new 3gal nano reef) I know there are other test kits I must buy for saltwater but as far as nitrates...

This is perfect for an end table of mine, and I am looking to do something interesting. Desktop & Starter Aquarium Kit: 3-gallon Deco Kit Aquarium I have a 20 gal cycling for dwarf puffers right now and I've never done a saltwater so I thought the 3 gal might be good for a nano tank.Are there...

Well I was surfing around the internet and found this 3 gal Desktop & Starter Aquarium Kit: 3-gallon Deco Kit Aquarium It would be perfect for my empty large end table. My question is, what are your suggestions for this? Anything interesting? Like not just a Betta (may be too small for one...

What happened to Aquatic-Hobbyist? It was such a great forum! A few years ago I was on there every single day. I miss everyone on it! (though I forget everyone's names *doh*) I haven't kept fish in about 2 years so I quit visiting the forum. Now I'm getting back into it and its gone!

I haven't done too much looking besides petco, petsmart, and bigalsonline. But I just want to know, for supplies or food or plants, what is your favorite place to shop online and why? I plan on adding to my plants, mostly because my lfs is lacking a few that I want and was kinda thinking of...

I have some easy plants in the tank, anubias and some others I forgot what. Anyways still cycling the tank, going to get dwarf puffers (and more plants too). Its a 20 gal. As soon as I put the plants in I got green water, so my bf went to the lfs and they gave him carbon and iron. Ive had plants...

Still waiting on my tank to cycle, its a 20 gal, I was originally going to get some sort of cichlids, but decided on dwarf puffers as I have always been fascinated with them. I have a piece of driftwood and some plants in there now, going to get some big rocks too. Anyway Probably 4 dp's, 3...

Well I just posted this in the newbie forum but I'm gonna copy and paste. I've had aquariums my whole life except the past 2 years (due to a divorce and move). Anyway just bought a 20 gal. I know about cycling and all, but just trying to pick out live plants and fish. I have never had a 20 gal...
