The snail is smaller than a golf ball but not a baby by any means either. About the size of a quarter maybe a little smaller. Half a wafer is too much? Should I replace some of the water or skip a feeding for a day to help clear things up? The nitrate levels I'm not sure, I will have to...

Ok guys I recently bought some Hikari algae wafers for my mystery snail which I am being very careful not to over feed. The smell when you open the lid of the tank is horrid! Is this normal, if not what do I do to fix it? I have been feeding half of a wafer every night if that helps. I...

Thank you for giving me the big al site. I checked it out and the prices are very reasonable! I think I will be purchasing a light from them soon :)

Thanks for the input guys! I have seen some heavy debates on aeration and the more I read, the more confused I became. Everyone seems to have a hardcore opinion on this. So far I have not seen the aeration kill any of my plants, so I guess I will leave it for now. I am more worried about the...

Hello everyone I am a newbie and I was wanting some opinions on my current tank setup for my live plants. I currently have several plants (forgive me I have yet to remember all of their names). I use liquid aqueon plant food, as well as seachem root tabs. I also do frequent water changes...

Thanks for the help guys! I appreciate it. Also have either of you ever added calcium to the water for your snail? As for the Clown Loach you think he will have to be moved to a bigger tank? I am a little worried about this. Right now he is still a baby, but I have seen how big they get. I...

Ok, I am having a few aquarium delimmas. Number one being my new snail I bought. It is a blue mystery snail which I have been feeding algae wafers. The only problem is the leftover wafer he does not eat is sitting in the bottom of my betta tank. I am afraid it is going to ruin the water...

Strange thing about the danios, everytime I buy a danio to make the total 4 the new ones dies. I have had this happen 3 times. I am not sure why but I decided if they are happy at 3 then I will leave them be. LOL

Hey guys! I still feel like a beginner even though I have been into setting up and running aquarims for 5 years now. I feel like everday I am learning something new. I still get nervous when I stock a new tank. I just set up one recently and I want everyone's opinion....am I overstocked? I...

Thanks for the help! Yes, the filter is a HOB so maybe part of the noise is coming from the vibration where it sits on the back. Also I will have to agree I like the lid but it seems it may be a bit loose which I don't think is really fixable..right? However, when I assembled the filter I had...

I just made a quick purchase of a Tetra 20-40 gallon filter because my other filter killed over suddenly. I needed a backup asap so I purchased what I though was a decent filter spur of the moment. I plugged it is and it makes a vibrating/rumbling sound. I know the filter is working properly and...
