This has been a problem for some time now, as my tank is about 18 months old.... Problem is, my tap water has an Ammonia level of like 3-4PPM and the PH is around a 9-10. There's also a slight hint of Nitrate in it. So when I do a water change, I don't like to use the tap water because it's...

Is it normal for Angels to go to the top, and basically take a bit of air? They'll go to the top, spin around, and take a little bit of the air, making this "Pop" noise from the water splashing. They do it all day... It's not a problem at all, but it's surprisingly loud. The water parameters...

First of all, I'm not 100% what this plant in question is. I believe it's Anubias? I just picked up a variety of stuff. I've had it in my tank before, and I added it again this time when I recently re-did the tank. Both times it's started browning, and I'm not sure why. My lighting is just the...

Finally got my tank up and running again. Converted from an African Cichlid tank... I have 10 Neon Tetras 5 Rummynoses 1 Black Veil Angel 1 White Pearly Angel 1 Black Marble I'm somewhat worried that the Angels might go after the Neons, but the Angels are really small, so maybe they'll just...

Quick recap: 55G, had African Cichlids for about 7-8 months, decided I want to do something more community-type. So I filled a Styrofoam box with the African' water, and put the filter on that box, and let it run... Then I emptied the entire tank out, hosed it down, put in new substrate, and...

Just picked up 40lbs of this stuff today. I wanted black substrate, and it's going to be planted, so it seemed like a smart pick... The gravel doesn't look very large, which is kind of nice because at first I wanted black sand. Anyone have experience with this stuff? Good, Bad, Ugly? It says...

In one of my tank I've decided to scrap and start over, from African Cichlids to more of an Angel tank with a school or 2. I have a 55G standard 48X12X20 tank, and I still have the stock hood and bulbs it came with. But, I've been using a Marineland Double Bright for a while now, and I'm...

So I had a 2 month old community tank setup with a few Gourami and Tetras, but decided I wanted to go with Cichlids. I gave the other fish back to the LFS. 55 Gallon, 4 foot long. I know you need "Caves", but I also read that as long as you have segmented type areas for territory you should...

2 of my 5 Red Eyed Tetra appear to have Ich. It's this white, almost fuzzy looking stuff on either their mouths or the back of their tails... I have a 55 gallon, Aqua-Clear 110, 6 Zebra Danios, 2 Gourami, 1 Pleco, and the 6 Red Eyes, along with a bunch of Live Plants. Have had the tank going...

Anyone know why that might be? It's been at like a 7.2 for the life of the tank (5-6 weeks) And now the last 2 days it's measuring around 6.0 maybe even lower. It's a pale pale yellow. I'm even doing 20% water changes almost every other day, and the tap water is like a 8.4. Yesterday it was...

First aquarium, bought it about 6 weeks ago. Used Tetra Safe Start, and have been doing small water changes every other day (About 15%). I'm pretty much "Cycled". Ammonia is registering a tiny bit, maybe a .1PPM and my Nitrites are at 0PPM. So this is what I have currently. FISH 1 Pictus...
